@NanoRaptor I was wondering where my classmate got his inspiration 🤔😂

Probably obvious to lots of people. What model is that? Looks really fun.

@PhDee it’s a 2001 Ford Falcon Forté - which also means that yes it’s a Millennium Falcon.

On paper seems like it has some power. Surprised it's not faster. Fun isn't all about being fast though.

Also, a cool neighbourhood you got there. Sedans parked everywhere. Or at least, no giant SUVs in frame.

@PhDee There are plenty, but that's just a pic to make sure my three this month are in-frame fully.

I love their big lazy legs, they are so nice for covering distance.

@NanoRaptor cooool. How did you get the cracking effect on some of it?

@naught101 time, and the wrong vinyl. The colours are all offcuts from signage I’ve made, some indoor some printed and some solid coloured. Laminated, unlaminated, outdoor, temporary or 7 year it’s all on there. The really crazed stuff is a monomeric indoor vinyl I think, not meant for any more than a few months, and it’s been eight years now.

@naught101 Much less crackled, and more shiny, many years ago.

@NanoRaptor @naught101 The hi-vis reflective patches really up The Trout's dazzle paint potency.

Tell me about your car. What kind of paint job do you have?

ALL OF THEM.

@NanoRaptor Have you read the Pattern Recognition trilogy by William Gibson? This is what I imagine the Sigil t-shirt looking like.

@engagedpractx I haven't, but I often wonder if the couple of teslas that have tried to merge on top of me might not have been confused.

Most likely, I'm judgmental but y'know...
