I tried to crop the Supra out but it was too obvious so I left it there. Just try not to give it any attention. I want to talk about the VL Commodore. Does anyone not from Australia or New Zealand, see this as anything other than an eighties family sedan? I should taken better pics. #weirdcarbs

Well, this is...odd. The thing EVs are most suited for (inner city transport) is happening. Modest torque specs don't matter when you don't need to rev to get there. The way it drives is chefs kiss for a commercial hauler. A non cargo version would be nice... Kia PV5Cargo #EV

I love these now slightly old Falcons because everyone I know has a story of how big their grandparent's Falcon was when they were kids. Some little rug rat has been in here, admiring the expanse, and dropping a chip in-between the extensive sheep skin covered seats. #weirdcarbs

This is up there with my PelEton concept from 2008(!), where riders mount their own regen bike and pedal around SF. It was inspired by the South Park episode of hybrid drivers smelling their own farts. In the PelEton you can smell the farts of the rider in front of you. 😁 #weirdcarbs

I know @smithandsniff.bsky.social you said someone shouldn't drive from Scotland to London in one day, but that's pretty much what we did the equivalent of: Yandina to Hebel. 730kms/450 miles. The next day we found where all the spare Beetle bodies have gone: Lightning Ridge. You should drop in...

Australian made? Yes, the Perentti, named after a big lizard, was an Australian kit car C3 look alike stuck on top of a Holden ute (similar to El Camino) chassis. It looked cool but that was the extent of its magic. One of less than 50. #weirdcarbs

Behold: '86 VL Commodore! For the car history nerds: when Australias favorite car was being updated, the old I6 (202ci) which had been around for a million years, didn't take kindly to unleaded fuel. Instead of designing their own modern motor, they reached out to Nissan for the RB30 #weirdcarbs

To highlight this single point, as the sole characteristic that drives my admiration, would not be accurate. HOWEVER, how many cars these days (not trucks) actually have a full sized spare?! #carsky

Looking up from underneath the rear of a Hyundai Palisade, it's a bloody full sized spare tire innit!

Clearing out an old phone and found this beauty. AP5 Valiant by Chrysler. Built in Australia in the early 60s. They also had a Ute version called the Wayfarer. I'm sure I've got a pic of one of those around somewhere #weirdcarbs

Though not a #weirdcarbs for Oz, I thought y'all other folks may be interested in seeing the Kia Tasman in the wild. I took the XPro top spec to Noosa North Shore this weekend. Obviously untroubled by normal beach running, overall remarkably comfortable and competent. Would own.

Bonus: This trend continued, eventually becoming a faux flex on Commodores, even adorning the puny 3.0V6. A piece of lore ironically diluted by those thinking they're playing along. #weirdcarbs

Back in ye olden days, you could option a 350 Chevrolet small block in Holden's, such as the Statesman, below. As this was bigger than the local Holden 253 and 308 engines, people would put the Chevy bowtie on the grille, denoting it's place in the cubic inch pecking order. #weirdcarbs
