On the island of Dreamshire I drive classic car & take my driving test. Also I produce my 1st movie. How did this happen?
Babilonto, a friend of mine, has built an oldtimer. The model is called Karina. He parks the prototype in front of my cinema branch BIRDOLUMOJ on Auroro with the request to just try it out.

Now vehicles in Second Life are new territory for me. But after my first driving lesson I am so delighted that he immediately adds it to his shop range. So Karina gets available on the marketplace in different colors, also along with a rezzbox.
Karina ✿ a fancy classic car!
Already some weeks ago Nimoui & Lily Chenier announced in their landgroup that their island Dreamshire will celebrate its Fourth Anniversary in September 2020.
Happy Birthday ✿ Dreamshire!
Instantly I thought that Karina would be a wonderful match for this lovely island! So I gave the vehicle to Nimoui & Lily as a gift, along with the rezzbox. They tried out the vehicle on their island. And they were so enthusiastic that they installed the rezzbox even twice on their estate.
Visitors can now borrow a vehicle & drive around with it: here on Dreamshire Island (ground level) & here in Dreamshire City (sky level). Take your loved one by the hand & on a romantic classic car ride!

When you touch the rezzbox, a menu appears in the viewer. You can choose of 3 colors: red – blue – black. (Black is actually precious wood.) Then the vehicle appears from nowhere. Its wheels are not simply made of rotating textures, but of real spokes. Chassis & body are a feast for the eyes!
When you now touch the vehicle, its doors open. In the rear there is space for driver & one passenger. When you take seat inside, a funny horn sounds & the engine starts. Close the doors & drive off: Just like old times! Direction & speed are controlled with the arrow keys on the keyboard. Even myself can do!
But this is now also my first attempt to shoot a movie in Second Life. Concerning my movie's quality I ask you for your indulgence:
Nimoui points out that visitors can sink the red bollards. One of them I show on last picture: Just touch! It sinks into the ground with a rich sound & gives way for car. From the dead end you'll then have to come back somehow.
It takes a few moments before Karina disintegrates. So if you get out by mistake, you still have time to get back in. Her fuel is theoretically enough until next restart of the simulation – if you don't fall asleep before ...
