Patsy was driving a pair of coconuts - as explained in the movie, even that was unrealistic at the time :)

“What sort of parent gives their kid a “widowmaker” as a first car, I haven’t a clue”

Fair enough.

That’s what I have now, and why I wish this had a 2 door like shown above, for when I want to change cars in the future.

If GWM made vehicles that had decent safety ratings I might agree. They sell in Australia, but not that one - and last I looked they were 2 or out of five in safety rating here for the ones they do sell.  That may have changed.

Single, no kids, currently have 2 door ute with lockable cover on a seven foot tray. But thanks for your generalisation.

Two-door enough for you? Seven foot tray, V6 engine. I can’t buy this anymore as we don’t make them in Australia now.  So my next car will likely be an SUV for the carrying length with the seats down.

Sell this and I’ll forget my electric car ideas ever existed. We probably won’t get in Australia anyway, but I have been wanting this exact thing to be made since we gave up making utes here. I too don’t need four seats, but I do need a tray more than 4.5 feet long.

Thanks for the suggestion :)

Hey, what’s that?  I guess you don’t mean the Billy Joel song.

I binged the entire show on Saturday (it’s good BTW) - with a hand in plaster from surgery the day before, there wasn’t much else I could do. I remember thinking - “Many Jalops would love that car”, followed by “It’s in really good condition for an old car”.

Not more practical than what we already have - the skateboard battery arrangement seems to work fairly well for most parameters.  Pass.

Thanks for the information - and yes, US healthcare costs are out of hand versus almost anywhere as far as I can tell. I just had xrays, a CT scan and a hospital checkup for a fractured finger and I paid.....$0. A more involved scan like an MRI has a charge of about $A500 when I had one a couple of years ago, but you…

I will never understand paying above the set price of the car. I do understand that the US market is different to ours in Australia, but it is very unlikely you’d find someone who’d do that here, I think.

Is that really what car insurance in the US costs? My house and car insurance together is about that much per month, in Australian dollars, so it would be even less than US$150. I would not have guessed there would be that kind of disparity.

The name “Max Mosley” is synonymous with.......the end of this sentence should be F1, but it’s actually seedy sex practices and being a bit of an asshole.

My favourite was the young woman who had maybe a ‘65 Mustang and they didn’t turn it into a sideshow. I think they made it a cool aquamarine and white outside with similar for the seats and trim inside. It was something that you’d be proud to own. I think they put a rack for her surfboards on it as well.

As a painter, I appreciate his work as well as his name.  The car is amazing, but I don’t have the personality to drive around something that would get that much attention.

I’m going to be checking this out when it comes to Australia later in the year. I’ll be looking for a car in a few years when I retire, and given that I would like an EV if possible, and given that I can’t keep my ute as well and would still like to carry things up to six feet long, this might be it.
