I've had an idea for a thread for a while now and i hope it makes sense. Was wondering what rich and famous Aussies drive on a regular basis after i read an article on the issue a while back.
Not talking about the long lists of cars that some of them own... but what they drive on the average day.. the article i mentioned listed a few and i thought some people on here might be able to add to the list ... for example Graham Wood (Founder of Wotif) - 94 Ford Falcon Ute Andrew Forrest (Fortescue Metals) - Toyota Landcruiser Lindsay Fox - Imported GMC "pickup" truck John Symonds (Aussie Home loans) - Holden Caprice hopefully others find this kinda thing as interesting as me |

I remember seeing something about Kevin Rudd owning a Territory as his personal vehicle... a black one if i'm not mistaken... and the article also mentioned James Packer and said something about him getting a Bentley Continental GT.
Also think John Howard has a Statesman/Caprice too. |
