Neil loved '40s "bulge-mobiles" I've told the story here in the past but he nearly hit me (on my bicycle) driving one.
something like this...

A friend owns a 'ground-up' restored Morris Minor Mini woody wagon in this colour - I would love to have one of these. Pics not his, but similar.
Ok, the white one is like a mini luxury SUV yacht.
And i like gaudy next to polyester.
LOL - that would make sense, but the Cayenne hearse plates look like a foreign country and the gaudy Panamera hearse has a sign behind it that says Bar, so not likely Rodeo Drive. I just grabbed the pics off the internet, no idea where they’re from.
Would you like for me for have a our realtor friend begin looking for some place safe for you here? I would not delay. Time doesn't seem to be on your side given the numbers of venom machines there.
The animals don't concern me nearly as much as the selfish/narcissistic people.Wow! If you’re an outdoorsy person and like to hike in the woods and swim in the ocean you better know your hazardous species and what to do if encountering them.
Sounds like there’s a lot of danger down under, but still a place I’d love to visit.
In the US we have a lot of aggressive land animals (Bears, Alligators, Crocodiles, Mountain Lions, Badgers, Wolverines, Wolves, Wild Boar and ex Wives) but not a lot poisonous stuff other than rattlesnakes, water moccasins a couple of spiders and divorce attorneys.Seems like weather events here - Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Flash Floods, Mud Slides, Avalanches, Wild Fires, Volcanoes and Blizzards are our biggest nature related killers.

Someone here bought a pair of Bart Tbird pickups recently but I am not sure who it was. That was probably 6000 pages ago.

Makes sense - I've found Bart pu's to sound pretty dark.
Tonight I worked on three songs with very different bass sounds- Dreaming (Blondie), The Beautiful Reverse (Grady Milligan), and White Rabbit (Airplane). I tried the Greco and the CP. Neither bass sounded right no matter what I did.
Clearly my ears need plekking.

No.., your ears are correct... a basses pu's/pu location will determine how it sounds. None of those songs were played on a T-bird.

But most times when I play them, I get the sound I want, a sound not identical to a record or concert, but one that works.
He needs a Ute to go with it
Yes, we had offical Ute versions of BMC cars, Austin’s and Morris’s etc. I assume the UK and other places did as well.
Here the big thing was to replace the Morris engine and gearbox with Datsun 1200 (Sunny) units. Evidently the Datsun engine was based off a Morris (Austin?) engine and was an ‘easy’ fit. Though now days I assume the purists would turn up their noses and restore them back to stock
A ute, originally an abbreviation for "utility" or "coupé utility", is a term used in Australia and New Zealand to describe vehicles with a tonneau behind the passenger compartment, that can be driven with a regular driver's license. Wikipedia
