So what do I know about Oz motoring?
Holdens, Utes and Bathurst.
So I checked out the Holden Website expecting to see what we would call Vauxhalls.
But it seems to mostly consist of what we would call Chevrolets albeit with a couple of nice mental monsters thrown in as well.
So, next stop on my web-based tour of Australia was the top listing when you type "Australian Car News" into Google - www.caradvice.com.au
This had the usual mix of Toyota and BMW and Porsche news that I've been reading about in the British and American car news sites. I'm not a fan of this global car industry - where has the national individuality gone?
Then I spotted this item in their editorial.
This asks, and attempts an answer, to that age old decision that I'm sure we've all had to make at some time in our lives, choosing the best new car to survive a Zombie Apocalypse.
It is a brilliantly written article and they do eventually get around to cars. Apparently, the answer is a Knight XV:
but that looks a little thirsty to me and I reckon that once the Zombies have taken over, the fuel infrastructure would be compromised. So you'd be better off with a VW Golf Bluemotion.
Of course, this article assumes that Zombies themselves can't drive - and I'd say that that was an unsafe assumption.
Now, Zombies being dead, would want a car for dead people, so after the Apocalypse, I'd imagine them causing havoc in vehicles like this one below.
