There's more people here than there are room in the cars! Forget replacing the tires, someone needs to invest in a station wagon!
Service with a permanent smile.
The reason why your car has a flat tyre m'am is because it's only a one seater so your son has to sit on the bonnet. He then gets in your way and you're swerving about, wearing out your tyres pretty quickly.

The figures just need to rebuild the bricks to drive away with the entire Service Station Wagon :)
Or they should just call the 218: Firemen to taxi them around.
Wow, that's a lot of figure for a set of this size.

I’m assuming the extra weight is how they managed to have catastrophic blowouts on both front tires simultaneously.

Ah, come on. So many cool new things to see, and you break the streak with these unholy Homemakers.

Rictus grin.
Little did they know their happy lives would soon be destroyed, like the Neanderthal and modern humans, the maxifigs could not out complete the minifigure.
You know, the models here aren't half bad for a battle pack.
I like how there's a girl and her younger brother just watching everything go down. Imagine taking a stroll to loiter around a Shell service station to watch everything. Prime entertainment right there.
Or at least, that's what 1970s Shell would want the kids building this set to do. Just marvel at them. Probably.

They must all be using Smylex brand products, like what the Joker sold in Batman 1989.
