      John -- every time I see an Australian vehicle I can't help but think of the bush mechanics of the central desert. I happened upon the tv program a few times and it was among the most entertaining TV I've ever seen. One time my then six-year old son saw it with me. He watched with his mouth wide open in curious amazement. I probably had my jaw dropped too. πŸ˜›

      Regards, Ross

      yes - that was a wonderful program Ross. I enjoyed it too.

          When I think of Australian cool vehicles, I think of a movie called (I think) Alice to Nowhere... It was long ago, I'd like to see it again.

              I have a bicycle. No photos though.
              I live about half a minute from my workplace and everything I often go to is in walking distance. If not, I take a bus - or in very extreme cases borrow my parents' car (once or twice a year).

                      I used to drive one of these...just this color (although I just pulled this image from the web)...but it was only a two seater and therefore not terribly useful once my first daughter was born. So I sold it for almost as much as I had paid for it two years before. I actually see my old car fairly regularly parked in the neighborhood...there just weren't many of these things sold, although I enjoyed it quite a bit and it handled snow and ice beautifully. I never got the 70 miles per gallon that some claimed it was capable of, but consistently I did pull between 54-60 MPG when I was driving back and forth between Boston and New Haven on the highway.

                      (I also own a Toyota Prius, but we all know what they look like. My wife usually drives it.)

                        Here are my babies, presented in a very un-glorifying photo. I love them both, and they serve me very well.

                        I also have a red 1994 VW Jetta (which I hate) and a 1981 240 DL Coupe Volvo (which I love)

                          I'm finding this thread quite interesting. It has me thinking about the vehicles in my life. Although I'm 46 I've only owned three cars. I remember my father telling me that he's owned something like 40+ different cars over the years! (I presume most were used junk that frequently needed replacement with another 'newer' used car). The vehicle I learned to drive on was a 69' Datsun pickup similar to the attached pic. I have many fond memories of it. My dad was in the military and he had a tour of duty with the UN at the Gaza Strip -- so the year he was away my mom let me drive his old beater pickup.

                          Once I was pulled over by a cop for speeding. I got the cop laughing about how it was damned near impossible to get the little shitbox truck moving anywhere near the speed limit. He let me off with a warning. πŸ˜„

                          You know I'd love to have that truck again. You guys can have your nice status cars -- I'd be happy putting along in that old shitbox with its 66hp 1000cc engine and rusty floorboards. πŸ˜’

                          Regards, Ross

                            Here is my little darling, she's getting a old now,
                            9 years, but only 45,000 miles on the clock. I do
                            so little milage these days it probably will do me
                            for another five years. By that time there should
                            be loads of electric cars on the market to choose
                            from.

                            It really doesn't make a lot of sense having a (nearly)
                            2 ton vehicle transporting just one person. I been
                            thinking about this a lot lately. I wonder will some
                            car manufacture introduce a modular car, one that the
                            driver could configure in the morning and decide on a
                            single, two or four seater or a pick up.

                            It the meantime I'm realising a life long ambition of
                            mine, I should have a Fuoco next Friday. They have
                            just reached the UK market and I have a red one on
                            it's way to me. So for those short runs to / from
                            town I will be using just 500cc against 3400cc, my
                            effort towards carbon reduction πŸ˜‰

                            PS: A couple of weeks ago my friend's girlfriend
                            asked me if I knew what was the difference between
                            a Porsche and a Porcupine ...... I'm still trying to
                            figure it out πŸ˜†DSC00418.jpeg

                              Here's my Nissan Altima 2005. It's my second Nissan Altima and It's really a very good car. I never had a problem with those two cars.

                              The situation was very different with my first ones.
                              My first car was a Datsun 1200 1972 (I bought 2 Datsun to make one in 1977 and It took approximatively 5 minutes to reach 60 miles per hour with this new "bomb");
                              My first brand new car was a Renault 5 1979 (I had a lot of fun with it but the motor exploded at 25 000 kilometers),
                              The next was a Toyota Tercel SR-5 1982 bought new the day after I had a new job (It was a wonderful car);
                              Subsequently I bought a Chevrolet Cavalier 1988 (nothing to say about this car), changed 1 year after for a Toyata Van 1988, when my first son was born.

                              And my worst car was a Oldsmobile Cutless Supreme 1991 bought in 1992. This car was a nightmare!!! (The paint peeled off, the motor fell down on the road, the fire caught inside the steering wheel, the front left wheel fell down when I was on the highway and so on...).

                              And now, my dream car!!! πŸ˜›

                                Do you know the "Can-Am Spyder" from "Bombardier" in Quebec? I think that's exactly what you are looking for.

                                  That's a mean machine but it doesn't 'tilt', not
                                  that I can make out any how.

                                  I would have preferred a Vectrix 3-Wheel but its not yet
                                  available. They are using the same dual front wheel
                                  parallelogram technology as the Fuoco.

                                  If Susan is looking for electric transport, this could
                                  be the answer.
