I’m not a motorbike rider and would not trust myself to be one, but as my ‘commute’ is less than two miles, this seems like a good idea for people who are in a similar situation and would ride a bike.

Maybe because it is known as the Carnival everywhere else and it makes their job easier, they just simplified things.

Perhaps they should have actually done more than hit CAPS LOCK, then.

give 98% of it away - I won’t need it and others will.  Besides, who wants the hassle.

It’s your article, so write what you want.

It’s still not correct - isn’t it better that people know that?

“And I mean that all quite literally. The Burgess family moved in 2008 after the Australian government prohibited people under the age of 25 from driving a turbo or V8 engine”

“Most 18-hole golf courses are spread out over between 100 and 200 acres of perfectly good land now ruined for any other use”

Pliers wrench?  They’re called multi-grips in Australia.  Very useful.

When I was about 7 or 8 (in the 1970's) I went with relatives to Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia to see touring car racing for the first time in person. The thing that has stuck with me all this time was Colin Bond losing a wheel and it flying into the lake in the middle of the circuit. That made a big impression…

Calling your potential customers recalcitrant, stick-in-the-mud fuddy-duddys always works in your favour. I just want to know why BMW grilles keep getting bigger for no discernible reason.  If it’s for functional reasons, just say so - otherwise GTFO.

Holden in Australia sold a Captiva SUV - looked nothing like this one, though.

I have on a USB stick a few Bruce Springsteen live shows that I have been to, plus others I bought for different songs. Select ‘random’. Job done.

A fishhook can also be eye-catching.  And more painful than that grille - but it’s a close run thing.  They will probably sell heaps to people who don’t ‘like’ cars.

My car fandom started with Bathurst in the mid 1970's when I was about five and this car, the Torana A9X was my first favourite. This picture, from the 1978 race, is still the best to me:

A ute you say - here’s my 2015 Holden.  All the comfort of a car, with a seven foot tray - and the hard lid is removable.

That’s fair.

“every Tesla killer has its own slew of problems, whether it be low range and extremely high price from Porsche”

Sorry, I thought you meant they owned the extreme sports as well.

I think that has been apparent for some time, really. I would add sponsorship to that description, though. They seem to sponsor a lot of stuff without owning it as well.
