What's a "ute" ? 😕
 
A "ute" is their name for a pickup truck 🙂 (pronounced "yoot")

You never watched Neighbours or Home And Away? 😉

Good list 🙂

You ppl dont know what a ute is? 😕
I guess it's the same thing that we Australians don't know what an SUV is...

It's a four wheel drive, dammit!

(The FAQ MAN is a fellow Australian transplanted somewhere else...)

 

Ute is short for Utility, ie a service vehical. or a pick-up as most of you would you know them as. We have an "auto" racing series called V8 Brutes, which is just a play on words. you can only race v8 engined utes, generally v8's are reffered to as muscle so brutes with utes make sense 😀.

hehe, its funny isn't it. As long as we don't have to explain what "rooting" is to them 😉
 
I always wanted to know how that newfangled air suspension youz have on those big trucks works. 2 cyl;s of the engine are converted to compressors, and they pump air to those big air socket things.
 
LOL yeah that about covers it.....

If you really want to know more about "utes" and the way we drive them I can suggest you try out this little treat Canetoad Explode 🙂 Dodge all the crapware (gator and rubbish) they try and download on you of course.

Hiyas and Happy New Year 🙂
