Gaffa tape for reduced weight, of course.

Also notice the milo tin on the WRX wagon.

Penthouse, I think another four letter word in front of house would fit much better and do that THING some justice.

Next time I go to Bathurst or Goulburn, which ever comes first I'll put up some stickers on utes like those saying: "Man love is great", "I'd rather a Cosmo over a VB", "My other car is a Hyundi Excel with a Cannon exhuast and blue steel wiper arms", "I lived Broke Back Mountain", "Allah the almighty blessed my machine", "Guns are for small dicked rapist secretly homosexual maniac men" and for the girls "Give me a man in a smart casual suit sporting a hair cut that would have taken 4 hours at his hair stylist over a sweaty meatheaded cow boy."
I don't quite understand why people are always bitching about B&S utes. Could it be that you are offended by some of the numerous stickers that are attached? Well rest assured that you need not sulk about it, they are only there for effect. :

Could it be the brightness of the 5 or 6 spotlights mounted atop that worries you? Need not worry, responsible users usually only allow for the highways.

Might the aggressive stance of the bullbar frighten you? Well, settle, unless you are a kangaroo, contact will not be made.

Is it that you be afraid of the numerous aerials which may or may not intercept some secretive information you might relay. Well, unless you are on the same frequency, worry not.

My XF ute is slowly making its way into B&S territory, [which isn't really what I was planning], and sure, I can't get a truck license, so a few Kenworth stickers wont go astray. And being a fan of the ol' Bundy Bear, sure he'll get a look in on some "window space". And, I'm sure you wouldn't have slept at night until I said it, the first sticker to grace the tailgate was indeed 'R.M. Williams'.

And here, here, here, wait for this...I live in Sydney City, not rural. SHOCK HORROR!!!...so sue me...

AND HERE IS THE PUNCHLINE [FADE IN MUSIC]
It would seem, by the way they go on, that some people are offended by the "B&S ute following", which, at least with me, is part of the attraction.

It's more the fact that a lot of utes like this never see the country side ;)

For what its worth, "Euro" plates are purely Australian marketing 'spin' for the International Standard for number plates, held under ISO.

Some places in Afrika and the Middle East use the size and fundamental ISO-Euro design. Others use the size dimension, Thailand, some Indon etc.

What i find funny is that 40-odd years ago hot rodders would be saying stuff about young fellas in there cars with bright paint stripes hubcaps etc, or racing fans ripping on customisers for putting spotlights, wheel spats etc on their stock engined cars.

whats happening now?

personally tthe late model import scene is fasinating, allthough is is some crap cars out ther.

I can say though that the "shopping list" stickers and stuff like N/a blowoff vales are nasty

But if someone wants to put a cannon/neons/tachos etc im all for it at least they are having a go.

Those crappy utes with bling bling chromies and rear lower than the front. Pretty lame, VERY sad.

Fully hektik civic with clear tail-lights, chromies, and overhead stripes.

If I saw that parked on the street I would go and take a dump on the drivers seat.

I would rather spend the money spent on that car turning a 1985 Volvo 240GLE Wagon into a Ute... much wiser use of coin (kinda).
