Mav with a dog, requested by @waistcoat35 ! I felt like he would own an Aussie (a sort of high energy dog that would match him)--that, or a very old, round lab that wandered around the hangar :)

Recaro Mystere, 1977. The seat-maker's Australian subsidiary had ambitions to go into car making and built this prototype coupé based on a Holden Torana LX Hatchback redesigned by Peter Arcardipane. It used Holden's 5.0 litre V8 with the interior made-over using Recaro seats. It was presented at the Sydney Motor Show with plans for a limited production run but remained a one-off as Recaro's management changed and Holden stopped making V8 Toranas.

idk if this gp betting on charles thing is true or just speculation/joke, but if it is true, this is a gp strategy masterclass!! he knows max is insane about charles & if he sees a competition with charles he will singlemindedly try to win (cough austin when he undeniably had the fastest car by far but still had zero patience to get past lol) so this is his way of making sure max is motivated to get pole despite the fact that he could probably win without it. gp on the board of lestappies?

anon this has added a layer to the nuanced gp-helmut quali bets that is frankly hysterical. like yeah it is a strategic mastermind move??? activate the track terrorist impulse in max with a well placed bet on charles??? diabolical. groundbreaking

Valiant Charger Hemi 265 R/T:

The Chrysler Valiant Charger was a two-door hardtop coupe introduced by Chrysler Australia in 1971. It was a short wheelbase version of the concurrent Australian Chrysler Valiant sedan. Introduced within the VH Valiant series, it continued as a variant through the subsequent VJ, VK and CL series, until production ceased in 1978. It was marketed and badged as the Valiant Charger in the VH and VJ series and as the Chrysler Charger in the later VK and CL series.

what cars i believe the batfamily drives. my only qualifications are that i work in an auto parts retailer. this is purely based off vibes realistically they probably all drive teslas.

dick drives an early 2000s toyota corolla that he loves to death. he refuses to get a new car until this one dies. (which will be never because it’s a toyota)

jason in my head doesn’t have a car license but if he did drive a car it would be a toyota hilux or ford raptor ranger.

tim drives a newish hyundai i30 or a mazda2. idk why but in my head he drives a cute little hatchback.

cass definitely drives a slick black sedan. maybe a lexus or a mazda6.

steph drives a sedan honda civic because i’ve never met a civic owner that wasn’t girly pop or a upper class asian man.

duke either drives a kia rio OR a mitsubishi lancer OR an older model RAV4.

damian when he gets his first car it’s gonna be a mercedes or a bmw. probably a hatchback or sedan. i’m not sure of model tho.

bruce drives a either a audi, lexus or mercedes. maybe he has one of each. they’re probably all sedans and then he owns like one SUV.

slightly worried about the pattern emerging over in ferrari where charles does well -> immediately in the next time he’s out and it matters it’s suddenly not working at all. it’s enough to make me go a little tinfoil hat.
