The Australia Thread
McTaggart:
I was hoping someone would bring up cars. I absolutely adore big aussie v8s. They're just the most perfect thing. All these kids want their SLRs and their Skylines and so on but my dream car is a BA GT-P.
And as ridiculous as Maloos and Super Pursuits and so on are I kinda love them. They're audacious as hell in a uniquely Australian way. Where else are boy's dream cars just the tricked out versions of the workhorses?

I guess maybe it is fast or something?

I generally agree with this. I just can't handle the coupe ute look. Here in the midwest there is a definite segment of the population that likes trucks with big ass engines that are startingly fast, but we like to keep 'em boxy looking and enormous.
Anyway, I just have a soft spot for pontiacs because my first car was a ridiculous old beat up '78 firebird my equally ridiculous tattooed and tobacco chewing uncle gave me. It made me feel really white trash, something that I actually sort of appreciated at the time given that my stepfather's Hormel exec father was insisting on sending me to private school at the time.

You clearly don't have enough testosterone to enjoy it.

Cane toads are not Australian, they are South American :x

Of pretty much everything posted in this thread so far I think I don't hate Split Enz, the food Lunchy posted and Two Hands (and of course all the fine, lovely people in the first pic). I am not very good at being Australian.
