Talking worth going to Aus alone for!!!

she's a Holden WB ute V6 3.3 (the smaller version). The V8 is 4. something.

1983. They made these TO LAST. You see these all over Australia.


on sale for 5,000 bucks.

I've heard girls call them the "Dangermouse" car.

I've been DROOLING over this. OK got to go to take my medication.

and you know why they're called 'Bong Bars' eh?

And remember - you must keep your dog on a chain due to recent rules. Not even blokes are allowed to sit in the back without a cage..

I like the American type jobbies, with four doors tinted windows, air con, and pick-up space too, that old jalopy looks like a ford 100.

Looks like an old Granada with a lump cut out the back. Its gruesome. Give me a 1966 Ford Thunderbird or any early Mustang and I will be happy.

The car is nice but the colour???? Mind you it probably stands up better in the heat and sun. So under all that baked puke there's likely to be a really nice ferrari red - nothing a bit of Mr Muscle and T Cut can't fix!
