The Coolest Ute?

[Impatient]

Right then chaps, very important stuff. Have been chatting with my boy who is very into his cars and, to be honest, he is a little bit embarrassed about driving around in a people mover. What he thinks he would like when he gets to oz in a couple of years is a very cool Ute/pick up thing (he is not very sure of the terminology as he is not quite 3 years old yet), and who am I to argue, he is just soooo cool ?

Of course, he has managed to convince his twin sister of the benefits of such a vehicle (towing horse boxes etc) and his mum dotes on him so he could probably get away with anything. I have no particular preference and will go along with the rest of my family as I am that sort of guy (just like most of the chaps on PIO, I am totally focussed on the needs and fantasies of my families, with all of my own dreams taking a back seat - us blokes are so great).

So guys, what should I buy the little guy when i get there? The only constraint I will put on it is that it must be fairly sporty, as I am firmly under the impression that fast cars are safe because you can get yourself out of trouble!!

my OH will be a SE plumber and I think the dream is for a nice shiny toyota ute (the one off top gear that's indestructable), however, I think the reality will be a battered old white ford pick up!

I swear they are all his own words! AND you should have seen him cheering on Oz during the cricket World Cup - he is already living the life!

Would love to get Mrs Imp a convertible beetle, not sure about pink though! Daughter would love pink, but she understands how impractical pink is for a car (like i would never drive it so her mum would have to drive her everywhere which might limit her social life somewhat!). Better off with a cool black one methinks...

Hays sweetie, you are welcome to reply to my posts at any time! We should have a ute cruise when we all get there!

Don't get a Toyota ute, you need a Holden or a Ford. If you prefer the sporty look then you should consider a Falcon XR8:

Thanks mate, will run it past the wee man in the morning, but looks good to me (although clearly that counts for nothing!)
