haha, im surprised i didnt see my brothers ute on there.... He's big into all that stuff. Even organised his own B&S Ute show in garfield a while back.

When he first got his ute (vs 5ltr red lowered zorst etc) I thought it was awesome. very nice and clean. but then it started, the stickers, spotties, rm williams stuff everywhere. Personally I think its such a waste of a good ute, but I guess you gotta be into that sort of thing.

Calm down Lisa

Let's get one thing cleared up, I've lived in the country, and I know what hard work is, on the land. I've also been to a B&S, or two, and if I make a comment such as I did, it comes from experience, and I've earned the right. There are some good times to be had living in the country. However, I draw the line at makin' a toyota look like a Kenworth. I can 'hoop and holler' with the best of 'em, but never saw the upside of somebody gettin' hurt while "doin' some circle work" (yeah, it happens).


City folk can be strange.....and ignorant. For instance, bullbars on any vehicle is not a fashion statement out there, but an absolute 'Gotta Have'. The same can't be said for pretty chrome nudge bars on suburban 4 wheel drives that only ever take the kids to school and park at the local Woolworths. Also, there are just as many braindead morons in the city, as in the country, and they are just as oblivious to their condition.

Mind you, even Australian country folk are willing to have a good laugh at the expense of so called 'Trailer Trash' from the states. That basically equates to city folk taking a stab at their 'country cousins'.

I don't like that site Because I don't like ridiculously over sized bull bars on utes (who need ultra lows when you have a bull bar like them). I think dressing up your ute to look like a Mack truck is as bad a rice mobile with a BA bonnet bulge, Shit house!.

HAHAHA, B&S utes are everywhere round here!! I personally don't understand the purpose of having 3 9ft "whippies" (UHF CB aeriels) not connected to anything! But each to their own I spose.

I think they're used for "Citizen Band Radio's", or CB's as they're more commonly known :P
just joshin ya.

Agreed, some are a bit overdone, but each to their own! I can understand how people are into that kinda thing, just like i can understand why people are into big stereos and people are into neons and bodykits (although many of these people arn't into em enough to make a car look the goods!)

BTW the practical thinking of the big 'bars is to fend off wriley roo's, commonplace outside our capital cities....and for looks

Bahhahah thats what i was gonna say.

What can i say. Its real funny when they put the truck lights on the side of the utes, the big spotties, massive bullbars and massive mud flaps. Then they go cruising together in the city with their massive cow boy hats, flannies and jeans. I guess they are proud of their roots. Hey but thats what they like and i bet they knock what we have in the city. Problem is that what we have in the city will almost definately destroy anything in the country. **** being a hill billy though. Dont think most hot chicks would find it appealing, unless they are missing teeth eating cocopops with VB in lieu of milk. Just looks scrub

Suprising thing is chicks do find it appealing, its just that they are all buckle bunnies and sluts..

My ex gf is a classic example of this, liked the rodeo scene, loved utes (especially ford utes which I found quite amazing - dont see many chicks like ford utes around here, they are all holden followers) and turned out to be a slut..

Guess I must have been hypnotised by the spotties and didnt see that one coming.

I think you would find that there is little if any that would take a country ute over a city ute anyday. I think if they wanted that sort of thing they would buy a truck. Theyre are alright if not overdone but the ones ive seen just look crap. There is nothing wrong with bull bars if they are not oversized same with mud flaps. And you dont need a massive amount of lights to see anything. Sure headlights arent gonna cut it but some people go overboard.

What is understood does not need to be discussed - Sammy Hagar

In other words if you dont "get it" you aint going to.
OF COURSE the B&S utes are larger than life with big spotties, mudflaps etc, OF COURSE they arent all needed, but that is the nature of the beast. You could ask why someone would paint graphics on a Supra and put a white leather interior in it as well, thats not practical, thats over the top, some would even say offensive, or to use another example, the EL described in another thread, why put an XR6 T motor in it, you can't legally use the horsepower and its just cop bait. (in some people's opinions)
Everyone has a different idea of what looks good according to the environment they fit into. If you drove your car 500Km on crap roads every couple of weekends to socialise and used it as a shooting vehicle, a firewood carter, and a work vehicle you'd soon find out that they don't stay pretty for long, so having a nice car like you can have in town is pretty much out of the question. Consequently people find other ways to personalise their ride and in aggie circles the more feral the better.
Having said that there's always the ****ers just like any crowd but I've yet to see a serious blue inside a B&S and I've seen people nearly killed in pubs and nightclubs so maybe the country hicks arent all bad.

I was listening to Triple J tonight and they had a brief piece on the rural economy and how it's affecting young people. Consider this for a moment. You are a cocky's son, your dad owns (say) 4000 Acres and you will inherit it some day, the farm has been in the family for 4 generations and is part of your identity.(sounds pretty good so far ay)
In these times the farm might be bringing in $60K or so a year, this money has to support your parents who want to move to the coast and retire and it has to support you and possibly your partner in a reasonable lifestyle. Suddenly the new XR8 ute seems a long way away and your thoughts turn to what you can do on the cheap with the old ute in the shed.
You are penalised by the fact that on paper the farm is worth a couple of million bucks but what are you going to do with yourself if you cash it in and imagine the guilt of being the son who "couldnt make a go of it" .

I dont mean to hijack what was a pretty lighthearted thread but I'm sure that people who grow up on the land have a lot more weighing on their minds from an eartlier age than townie folk and that the need to be able to make your own entertainment may account for some of the differences from mainstream culture.
In case you can't guess I grew up on a farm and we carried on in much the same way as young country people today except we drove X series utes or Kingswoods. The thing that always struck us was the inability of people from the city to entertain themselves, we were known to pull up in a paddock in the middle of nowhere and spend most of the night drinking on a tailgate then sleep it off in the back of the ute. When we had parties in woolsheds etc usually people from town would be invited as we knew them from work, boarding school, or they had come to work in town etc. Invariably at about 11:00 they would decide that they were bored and needeed to go to town to the pub or whatever and would usually arrive back equally bored a couple of hours later when the pub shut to find the rest of us still yarning, dancing, rooting or whatever and couldnt see why we were having such a good time.
In contrast whenever we went out in town we were equally able to have a good night without worrying about whether we had the right clothes or were drinking the drink of the moment.
I'll stop my rant now but it's always good to experience life from another perspective, if you don't like it you can walk away, its still a (mostly) free country.

Regards,
Tote

I'll always think of the BS utes, when a diesel mechanic lecturer in Tamworth called them the scaredy cat gang, 'cos they had to have all those extra spotlights, in case it got dark.

theres quite a few of them here around orange as well, whippies, truck mudflaps, at least 6 spotties as a minimum located anywhere on the roof or oversized 5 post bullbar, feral stickers covering anything and everything along with the RM Williams crap.... then you get to the exhaust, some go for the massive twin cannons each side which sound awfully loud and drone at so muchand so loud at 50km/h that you can hardly hear the radio in the cabin turned up quite loud (I have been in one like this, and am not suprised the guy is now partially deaf). or you can get the vertical exhaust like you see on a prime mover.

I f**king hate these people.....
