   Suddenly I don’t mind driving a 17 year old car with no concept of the internet.

     @bkoehn If I ever have to buy a car, I will go out of my way to find one that's not connected to the Internet.

     @trregeagle @bkoehn When I first visited Australia, I was delighted to find out "utes" are a type of car endemic to the country. It's like marsupials but for cars.

     @hypolite @bkoehn @trregeagle Oh! I saw Tim Minchin talking about driving a "ute" in the "Upright" series, but haven't yet bothered to look it up.
     
     Is it a category or a brand?

     @hypolite @clacke @bkoehn Yes, very useful they are too. I can pile in bicycles and eskies. The dog loves riding in the back and when we are off the sealed roads so does the kid. It carries loads to the city dump and is great to roll out a swag when camping under the stars.
