We're long overdue for a Truckla update! Happy fourth birthday you cute chunk of vehicular magnificence.

Glass, grit and shattered dreams!

I'm so excited for you to meet my new friend Mohammad. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen, here's more information on the project: In support of World Refugee Day, We Were Here is an original documentary series from YouTube and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, that seeks to challenge stereotypes and perceptions about refugees by focussing on what unites us rather than sets us apart - our shared passions.

Obviously took a while for me to put finish this video, as you can tell by my bangs being cut and then uncut, and my workshop being painted then unpainted! You can't rush art. You also can't rush a snail, and I am happily living my life as one. A bunch of people helped out with everything from dog training to technical advice, so extra thanks to Brent Piercy, Kathryn Zealand, Jacquelyn Marker, Aaron Teixeira and Michael Lazaris!
