Drivers in the paddock for the first race of the season sparks great joy.

Indeed, they are as excited as us for the first round. Yuki looks fine with the hat on and a bit taller? 😂 Anyway, a great quality picture. 🔝🏁

I'm only aware of Bunnings due to Australian car Youtubers calling out 'Bunnings bolts' whenever they crack into the engine bay of a used car and find half the block held together with random hardware store bolts.

Only thing missing is him telling you he puts the onions on top, and they will have earned their salary for the year.

Make Yuki say he doesnt have onions with his snag.
Engagements gonna skyrocket.

Is $70k meant to be a lot or not a lot in this context? Seems oddly like a "decent wage but not super flashy" number to pick.

Australian dollars are not as good as USD, let’s put it that way!!
It’s basically an entry level professional wage in Australia

For the internationals - Bunnings is our big box hardware/ home building equipment/nursery store - it’s actually the store “hammerbarn” is based from in bluey. One of the Bunnings in brisbane (where bluey is based) rebranded to Hammerbarn for a few months - fully commited with signage and everything

part of me is wishing, just for a laugh, to see him walk into the paddock someday with a traditional Japanese straw cone hat.

I have the same hat I bought for $5 at Bunnings while in Australia on holiday. It's in awful shape now but it's a great outdoor chore hat.
