There's a Top Gear video of him going through all the bits and pieces of the car. I'll reply with it as a second comment so it doesn't get eaten by kinja.

I’m aware, but then I also didn’t write a whole article describing things in inches. To reduce confusion with unit conversions I simply just followed the lead.

Ahhh, the school bus aesthetic.

Except that Harney County is 10,000sqmi and the NT is 520,000sqmi. Of the 250,000 people that call the NT home, 150,000 of them live in Darwin which only takes up 1200sqmi of that area.

Canada and Alaska are the closest to Australia in North America for population densities, size and distribution.
