Oooooh...Chappie!

That would get me riding motorbikes again...especially as it is a small capacity mixed road commuter. I don’t need a big bike.

May I suggest the following badge: ‘BRO’

1. Setting the correct ratio of beer and chips at Friday arvo drinks

Yep. This. We get FWD BMW, AWD BMW, RWD BMW and iBMW. Each is horses for courses - entry, consumer, premium and wanker. And each has the potential for its own cachet.

...or just come back from down that way.

As someone who participated in the scramblerisation of a Honda CT110 back in the 90’s...I approve this modern iteration. Even with ‘only’ a perfectly acceptable & functional motor.

Nothing to do with Australian labor contracts...more to do with manufacturing capacity in the factory. If they sold too many then the line could not keep up. These cars are not being made at a loss...not to the Holden arm of GM anyway.

Yemmee guess...it only comes with a space saver spare or run flat tyres.

It can’t wait to chow down on deer, kangaroo and little fluffy bunnies...

You do realise that this happens all the time? It is due to shipping containers...lots of them.

You do realise that most Australians now buy Weber barbeques...and about four of those would fit in that grill!

Land Rover Defender

Volkswagen Kombi.

Kind of...it’s five eyes, a nose (France) and the mouth (Russia)

Back in the late 80’s when I was a poor student and a nascent driver what I really wanted was nice new Toyota Hilux 4x4.

True...but punters seem to be picking up other things. Either ones that aren’t body on frame or they are ponying up extra for the Prado and whathaveyou.

This thing is strangely unpopular in Australia...in both Holden and Izuzu forms. New Fortuner (4Runner) and forthcoming Pajero Sport (Outlander) will make it even harder

Does this help?

Needs more dashcam...
