    These haven’t really invaded New Zealand yet, but I walked past a parked one once and the bonnet came up to my shoulders - I’m six foot tall.

    These… things are a “clear threat” to fully-grown adults. They’re well beyond that for children.

      Oh, they’re here. Our parking spaces aren’t big enough for American cars, so they park as far back as the curb will let them – you can see their towballs lining the paths like tripmines.

      Gor a chuckle out of a ‘ute’ with the empty bed pulling a trailer with the tradie’s gear in it though. Awww, your two-cab lifestyle ute’s open bed too small for a 2x4 there buddy?
