Thanks! It’s, actually, my Flickr banner :D

It needs to be in 1:1 full scale? Because I really dig photographing my diecast models:

Funny how the front looks strikingly similar to the up!. A very angry up!, though...

Azumarill is Pokémon’s equivalent of Juggernaut, from X-Men, lol

Both new monkeys look really great!! I’m a bit disappointed with those new pokemon, overall, but both simians have really good designs!

Lol, I never get tired of watching this!

Funny trivia: Brazilian FNM company, a kind of nationalized Alfa Romeo in Brazil during the 60's and 70's, made trucks with two gearboxes. The smaller lever controlled the high/low ratios and the long lever the gear. It was a true challenge to drive down a twisty mountain road, loaded with tonnes of wood and having to…

Little vans based on small hatchbacks, usually the cheapest on the line, are immensely popular in Brazil too. The Uno Furgão is the king of them all, pretty much every big service company has a fleet of them:

I agree. Mario, Luigi, Wario and Yoshi-only (for example) games are excellent, but those with the full gang are a blast. Have you ever played Mario Strikers (GC or Wii)? It’s IMMENSELY fun!

So you’re describing a Super Smash Bros’ified Toy Story?

Since the cars are fully electric/electronic, I think Formula-E’s organization could apply some ideas from videogames to the races, adding a whole new layer of strategy:

Do you know what would be cool? A Kickstarter page to help to raise funds, and with scale models as perks. Contribute $20 and you get a simpler 1/64 models, with like 10 parts. $50 and you get a 1/43 diecast, with more parts. $200 and you get a nice, detailed 1/18 with a large amount of parts to build it by yourself.

That explains a lot. They’re expert on exterminating pests from toilets and anywhere.

Which model is this one? It has a dome-shaped head like a R2 unit, but the body of a R1

“There was a BMX game with Mario. I totally would have played a BMX game starring Mario.”

Mario Super Strikers is easily one of the most underrated games of all time. Every time I played it everyone bursted into loud laughing in less than 5 minutes. Best. Party. Game. Ever.

And, since this is Brazil, if the drivers/bikers try to sue the city for the damages they’ll never get their money. They’re simply screwed.

Thanks for clarifying!! In Brazil we have CNG cars, but not LPGs. The videos I posted were all filmed here, so this was the only parameter I had for comparison. I thought it had to be CNG due to the pressure though.

The pressure inside a LPG vessel is way, way lower (~15 bar) than on a CNG cylinder (~220 bar). A pressure-driven explosion of a LPG cylinder wouldn’t have nearly as much power as a CNG.

Do they have CNG cars in Russia? The natural gas is compressed to more than 220 bar in a cylinder, and it’s highly flammable. There are some (crappy) videos of CNG-converted cars that exploded in Brazil whose explosions look remarkably similar:
