In 2016 we were in the Netherlands, and we decided to fly to Germany to visit the Audi museum in Ingolstadt. Would you like to see some photos from that trip, #weirdcarmastodon?

How about a visit to an amazing automotive museum? This one is in Los Angeles, it's called the Petersen and if you're in LA, do put aside a day to go visit this place. Gorgeous building, incredible collection. Buy a pass to enter the Vault, no cameras allowed but you get to see more of their collection, tucked in the basement. All sorts of vehicles!

We went to the Sale airshow in beautiful Gippsland yesterday, took some photos in between watching the show.

Found a model of this plane, in the military museum on site.

Petrol's making a jump in price around Melbourne, am seeing it vary from 161 to 209. Just topped two cars up at the cheaper price whilst it's still around.

Just saw my first new Nissan Z car. What a nice homage to the original Z.

I've seen two learner drivers this morning. One of the had L plates on a Tesla. The other had L plates on a beautifully restored Hillman Hunter. Which driver do you think will learn more about driving?

I watched what could be the #WeirdCarMastodon ideal film, Drowning Mona, over the weekend. It's filled with Yugos of all things.
