We have to believe in our (insert your local lottery here) ticket numbers. Right? I mean the numbers have to come up some time, right?? sobs into my tea

Metric shittonnes or imperial fuckloads if I had the money (come on powerball!) I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Gorgeous. Shudder to think how difficult it would be to keep all that aluminium clean, but I'd never grow tired of polishing it. (I'm aware that sounded seedy...)

Very nice

That gravel trap doesn't seem to work too well in the snow...

Ooooooh.. Yes some sadness there. Really god clip for showing how much more motorcyclists need to be aware (or more at risk than) car drivers. The first few bike crashes seemed to be the result of gravel or crap on the road. Especially sad to see the obvious non-racers out there having a go at the ring, reasonably…

Love that they've got a sofa set up for the audience.
So awesome.
Now who's got the mad gif making skills to giferize this?

Named after a region on Mars. Awesome. More cars should be named after space stuff.

That's a badass looking machine.

One of my mates had one of these when we were teenagers.
Such an awesome car for shooting up the Newcastle freeway to the indoor skateboard park at Tuggerah.
We thought we were so rad.

Ever since I saw Blues Brothers as a kid I've dreamt of owning an ex-cop car.

Nice finds! I'd love to know what happens to all those factory robots when a factory closes down. (Somehow I don't think the answer will be as entertaining as in my imagination...)

Nice find! Beautiful photos, and I completely get what you mean.
Photos like these really hit that explorer/hunter-gatherer node of my brain.
Used to do bits and pieces around Sydney and Beijing but that was pre-digital cameras, but I'll see if I can find any good photos to scan.
My tip: good boots and never wear shorts…

Excellent and entertaining review. And that's a damn fine rocket. Bravo.

So these are like the Holden utes out here? More for tradies (tradesmen) and teenage hoons? Not for actual off road or hard use? No offence meant, just trying to understand. Nice looks though.

Nice looking ute though.

As an Australian, I sometimes don't fully "get" American styles.. So could someone explain why utes like these have such small rear wheels? If you are going off road or drive through construction sites/farms etc those shitty little low profile mags aren't going to be too useful are they?
No offence meant, just don't…

Damn I hate it when tv presenters etc put on fake/exaggerated Aussie accents.
As an Australian, I can assure you that the voice over is horrible.
It's like a bad imitation of the Steve Irwin crocodile hunter.
Sorry for the rant.

Excellent
