Mine is a 2000 model Holden ute(sorry guys cant explain it any other way) V8 5ltr...
already had it up to 195 klm, but farm gate was gettin awfully close...
taken it to 1 ute muster and a ute display...

So thats what i been up to...

what have all you guys been doing lately, anything wild and fun or just burrying heads in pc's????.rofl...

Why must the front bumper be so big?

What is the purpose of the flag pole attached to the front bumper?

A V8 in that thing? You're a brave man.

Why put all those stickers on but not post a picture where they can be read?

What does "ute" mean?

Its not a bumper, its a bullbar...not standard either, removed normal bumper..
reason, where i live there are wildlife on the road, and if you hit them in your vehicle(i'm not joking either) it will do a lot of damage, recently a local was killed when he hit a roo(kangaroo), they dont just run off the road, quite often being confused by a vehicle and hopping either towards you or can run from the bush straight into you...

It is not a flag pole but a UHF antennae, but then i do put the Eureka(pronounced "you, reek a")flag on there, when i am at a ute muster...lol...

MAN, I AM NOT!!!But being a girl, dont have to be brave to drive a V8 ute...the boys usually drive 6's, mainly as most boys are weak...rofl...
But then, yourself being into road bikes, hmmm, may understand this, i have a Suzuki GS1000G, yes one thousand....dont really like low powered toys, if your going to use the horsepower, then buy it, dont just sit and whinge about lack of...I tow horse floats and have heavy horses not pony's...

Because I Can!!!
Got most pics off mates mobile, so not able to get another till i catch up with her...
to help your curiosity i shall write them in here...
Left top going down...
"On the eight day god created FORDS to keep d*&^heads out of HOLDENS"

"We lied, size matters"

"CUTE but kind of evil"

to the right of that it says..
"Men are like floor tiles, once laid you can walk on them for years"

top centre... "Men are proof that women can take a joke"

Right top going down...

"Your looking at more woman than you can handle"

"What the !!!!"

"My kind of man..(man with kitchen apron on)"

lil white one is car yard sticker....

To the left of the "my kind of man"...."If your going through hell, keep going!"

On the front windscreen it says "WRAITHE"....

Short for utility, common aussie vehicle, invented here and abused here...car with a tray on the back... http://www.beaututes.com/index.php?
this site will explain a lot if you must know more...

Ahh.. The good old days - first bike I ever bought. I liked the shaft drive, and the grunt. But the suspension was crap and they just don't make sticky enough tyres in those sizes.

Got to agree about the traction probs, had a gpz750E1 before, that went ok but b4 that was a gpz900r, now that was about the best handling one i ever owned, but alas i have got old and the shaft drive is perfect, only i must get the bike inside and strip it, havent had it on the road for a while and need to put a new clutch in it,and a few other repairs, thank fully the horses and the ute keep me busy...
one thing i do miss with the bike, is being able to do wheelies, ute just wont lift front wheel off ground, but does a better smokie than the bike...lol...
