Agreed, not only does the engine look clean but the whole truck looks to be in great shape!  And after seeing you in the video the name Aussie makes sense lol!

Absobloodylutely a ridgie didge beaut good bloke from down under!  Quite a donk in that dazzler after a lot of elbow grease and empties I am sure, not to mention quids.  But, I think it is scarce as hen's teeth if it were down there.  I bet you were flat out like a lizard drinking from go to whoa on that beaut.  Any Joe Bloggs wouldn't have a burl with that.

Without argy bargy that is the bee's knees of a ute that will make any Apple Eater or Banana Bender proud and make them bite ya bum while you look like a tall poppy.  Just don't get into a prang or bingle with that hum dinger and cause it to kark it, that would make you chunder then hoof it or use a push bike.  It would make you want to push up daisies.  

I bet you don't have to give it heaps to go flat out to beat a bushranger either.

Now that the ute is home and hosed, I bet you are happy as a pig in mud that it's in the bag.  

I hope this molly dook who drives a yank tank hasn't been a buggerlug or a galoot and caused you to be cheesed off or chuck a spaz or narked by typing this.  I probably sounded like a drongo doing this, but, just mucking around I pulled up an Australian  lingo dictionary on the 'net to help me out here.  Now that I've yabbered enough, gonna go and get a amber fluid now and get off my face.

I bet most people reading this are up a gum tree.

Aussie lingo is so colorful. I had fun with that.  It beats the blah American English.

And, no, there is no such thing as 'shrimp on a barbie'....it's 'prawn on a barbie'.

So you won't have a stunned mullet appearance, go ahead, type in one of the phrases...
