I should be working, but I'm bored.

Some history.

30.

Live south of Sydney.

Yes I have gotten into a fight with a Kangaroo.

He started it.

Are you going to miss utes as much as we miss the El Camino?

Yes. How else will we transport 30 cases of beer at excessive speed?

Can I hoon around a bit in your car if I'm ever down (or up?) there?

Have you ever met the mighty car mods crew?

Sure, and no, never had the pleasure, I always end up missing their gatherings.

It is.

But Spring is like...

Well, have you ever had a batshit insane girlfriend, that each morning you woke up, you had no idea what mood she was going to be in? That's spring in Australia.

We're currently alternating 33c days with days of bucketing rain.

Never.

Unless I'm doing my Steve Irwin impression.

But only if my mate has his stingray costume available.

lol no I haven't, but if I did I'd imagine she'd be Australian

Yep, acquired taste. I've never been partial to it, works OK for cooking, mainly used to prank tourists now.

Was it a tough choice between the Sedan, Wagon, or Ute? (at least you guys get choices for now) I adjusted the image for your convenience.

Not really, I don't have the lifestyle/work that necessitates a Ute, the wagon, as much as I like it, don't need it.

The sedan allows me to lug around 5 people with enough leg room and a boot full of gear.

My mate on the other hand did pick up a VF Calais-V wagon, and put a Walkinshaw W310 pack on it, but he's a family man and did need the boot space.

All your Commodore needs now is an Oppo sticker so that there is another on Australian roads! (As another of Oppo's resident Australians I can confirm that they can be shipped here)

My recommendation for RHD positioning:

Way ahead of you.

I actually got the sticker a week after I got the car.

I've always had an affinity for Aussies, but when I heard that someone painted over the marathon stripe for the Sydney Olympics and rerouted it through a tavern and out the back door, I knew I found my spiritual homeland.

Proper hydration is the key to marathon running.

Nice! Consider my criticism withdrawn.
