A close, Pommie mate is normally a calm, laid back sort of fellow, but the sight or mention of a Humber Vogue sends his blood pressure soaring.

As has been explained to me, but I still take every opportunity to bring up the Humber Vogue.
I used to own the last model (1969) Snipe, a pretty flash car, in the day.
The red and blue Kenworth comes from the Shaw fleet, owned by a resident of your fine isles, I believe.
I knew that I had a photo of one of Shaw’s somewhere, I.I.R.C. it was taken somewhere around Mount Isa.
They used to have a bumper sticker that read, 'You’re not a real Aussie, until you’ve been to The Isa".
‘The Isa’ jogs a memory for me, back in '64 or '65 when I was ‘on the beach’ (unemployed or stranded seafarer) down in Sydney, the news was full of a massive strike in the mines there and the bloke who was leading all the trouble, was an immigrant Scotsman. They really made a meal of that.

Broken fan belt on the Brisbane Valley Highway. I couldn’t convince my sister or wife to give up their pantyhose, for the greater good.
Same model, even same colour, as mine, only difference was mine had no external visor.
And no requests for female attire were ever needed.
