My wife and I went down to Australia for Christmas/New Years back in 03/04 and I loved it down there. If it wasn't for my family I'd be there in a heartbeat. The first series of pics are a Ford Falcon Ute with a 4L inline 6 with a HUGE turbo. The others were other cars that I liked and wouldn't mind owning. Enjoy the pics* 8)

Some of those Aussies are crazy. Check out the front mount on this V8 powered Holden Commadore* :shock: It sounded like he was running a open dump.

Neat little Holden Astra 4 banger turbo pocket rocket. The front shot kind of reminds me of an SE-R

Note the turn signal is on the left side and the wipers are on the right.

There were many many more over the 2 weeks that we spent there. I can't to see what New Zealand has to offer.

I have no idea why they don't sell them up here. They are availble with a hot V8 too but I'd take the turbo because I am a boost junky. Holden (Australia/NZ divison of General Motors) has a Ute as well. Those are damn hot and you can get them with the LS2 and a 6spd. Here's their version and the pics are from a ute forum.

Here's what the from of the Maloo looks like. This is the high performance model such a SVT to Ford. I really wish they put that front on our GTO
