I love it. You just can't get too Aussie for my liking.

Better than putting those stupid reindeer antlers on your car. What are they for again? World wildlife day or something...

I don't think he would get too far down the highway without having to remove a couple of the flags.
Cheers

Good for him or her for having the courage to express such an opinion in today's ever heightening politically-correct world.

We are very to live in this country

Best

Sadly, though, it's not much chop off the black stuff. And it doesn't suit a roof-top tent. I loved my old FC wagon and liked the (slightly modified) HQ but neither took me places like the 47 series troopie did. When it's time was over the only thing I could think of buying was a 78 series troopie. (They can also carry bigger telescopes .)

Whatever you think of his taste and/or motives one thing seems clear: he should not be driving down the road with those front three flags obscuring his vision. It would be fine in a procession or parade but otherwise he needs to be able to see the road clearly and without distraction.

I also notice that two of the flags on each side are not Aust. flags but I can't make out what they are.

A Barina isn't Aust made either.

Anyway, good on them, at least they are proud to be here and appreciate the lifestyle that we all take for granted.

A bit of light-hearted banter shouldn't be taken out of context and each to his own. One of the reasons I mainly lurk instead of participating.

Returning to my cave again. Bye!

Yeah, I know it's not REAL Aussie - what is these days - They have tried their best to make up for that though.

Your link has caused drool to enter my keyboard too by the way Nath.

I didn't think the flags at the front would be a problem as most people drive looking down at their phones anyway don't they?

This kind of blatant nationalism is nauseating and reminiscent of, "The good ol' boys from "Al-a-BAMMMA"; I've dealt with them before and, with few exceptions, they were red necked morons with a couple of functional brain cells between them. If this isn't a "Look at me...Look at me", I don't know what is.

If it's his right to act like a w****r, it's my right to name it up as such...

Rom.. I think I understand what you are saying?.. That the gentlemen concerned has confused unquestioning nationalism with patriotism.

There might have been a somewhat less inflammatory way to make the point.
