Had an HJ wagon with a three on the tree for 8 years as my first car and then used my mates HZ with Radial Tuned Suspension. That Opel engineer made one hell of a difference!

I loved this ad back in the day. Saw 3 brumbys around north melbourne today and always see a few out in the Wimmera

Hey, weird how there is no mention of Holden closing on Jalopnik today!

Yes, You and I know this fact and I really should have addressed economic micro policy in more detail.

This is true. we missed out on the front cycolps light as well but got the T-bar roof!

We still have a soft spot for these in Australia although we never got the Brat with the seats in the back we got the Brumby instead!. This ad came out a few years ago but I did see three yesterday on my 200km drive.

Namibia hey? I’d be just packing a wetsuit and board.

I don’t think you really need a wheely bag tbh. The bags themselves weigh a lot more than a standard duffle. I’ve been really happy with my Patagonia black hole 60litre as it also has back pack straps and fits in an overhead locker.

I was just thinking today about where all the old Jalop memes have gone!

don’t forget the spare tyre is used as part of the crash structure in the vanagon!
Also don’t watch the youtube with the rusy old doka with a tonne in the back that they smash into a wall at 100mph. it’s not pretty.

I’ve been wanting to make a custom wagon coachbuilt from the latest Camry hybrid. would be perfect. the one you showed is the last wagon we got in Australia. 

Bubble economy Japan is the best Japan. After the big financial crash in the early 90's things took a shade for the beige. 

this is the correct answer. No surfers use convertibles. or soft tops.

sedans dude. 

What if those things are your trousers and shirt? as the only place people walk around with their wetsuits on is on Kookoftheday. I don’t know one surfer with a soft top. 

Not really. You want a car that is secure while you are surfing not open top. Because thieves
