Good girl...my arse. They would bark down the world. My own much missed Maremma would often give random strangers a look like that then (once their back was turned) proceed to stalk them in a Dealpool-esque manner until they left the property. Foxes and cats she didn’t bother stalking...she just killed them.

Despite the power of one million suns....it is still just a fucking Toyota.

For this to work then surely the next generation Ranger would have to be substantially smaller/lighter in comparison to the F Series (whilst keeping similar engine power outputs) just to ensure differentiation between the classes? This is going to be something of a challenge since the current aspiration of the Ranger

It isn’t.

Why wouldn’t we want that kind of late 60’s VW type honesty in ANY of our vehicle manufacturers?

Needs a chromed drop-side tray with an oak floor on it rather than a slab side tray on it...but would that make it less ‘Murican?

Actually...they ain’t that dumb, macropod wise. Those roo’s are Eastern Grey’s. Those and their Western Grey cousin’s (who also, confusingly, live in Eastern Australia) are some of the more spatially aware of their family. Not only that...those living near major roads get familiarised with fast moving traffic. They’ll

I’ve demolished one of those on a kangaroo...not even a big one and nor was I going very fast. And the Toyota didn’t enjoy the experience either

I just watched that...now I’m having a beer. Yes. Australia.

The main problem I have is that this is purely an animation...’Forester Gran Turismo’ if you will. Inevitably, the engineers will get hold of this and go “well that’s a cartoon I can’t mould in plastic so...delete” and suddenly we get just...well...’Forester’.

I’m looking at all those swoops, curves and overlaid panels and thinking ‘nice’ and seriously appreciating the tech that’s going into those panels...and then thinking it would be a total bastard to clean the dust and myriad of splattered insect life that it would inevitably collect...

Looks like the Hulk’s barefoot running shoe.

Is there anything more pointlessly entertaining than ranting about the impossible physics of an imaginary universe within a fictional storyline as interpreted by Hollywood movie makers?

VW has a inline 4 TDI going cheap. Even has Ecclestone-esque software to go with it. Slam them together (perhaps one at each end?) and Red Bull will have all the wings it ever needs!!

I’d like to hear what the team mechanics have to say about pulling wrecked consumer camera components from their car’s wheel arches and front suspension. Granted it is probably better to pull camera parts than body parts...

Nismo have just made a bloated minivan out of a barge arse 4x4 and will still profit from it. Who’d have thought?

Sure we do. It’s called ‘Saturday’. Happens every week...

Because it was a bloated PoS for which they couldn’t find a big enough & cheap enough engine to get it moving at a competitive rate.

Suspect:“That’s it. I’m going to Madagascar”

Veterans in Oz get a military pension and healthcare (to a point) once they’ve done their time. Regardless of where and when. It ain’t perfect for sure...but it’s better than casting them to the winds. Mind you...it still doesn’t stop them becoming writers, commentators or even politicians.
