Moke
Spent many hours in the passenger seat of Busso mates Moke on trips to out of the way spots down south, it used to go nearly anywhere a 4x4 could go. Fat rubber and a lot of work done to the motor made the thing fly. Triumph Herald pistons, extractors, big cam and a 47 weber with the tubes sticking through the firewall under the dash.
He finally build a cabin on it about 3 years before the Californians came out, zip up curtains and a small ute back on it. He was bloody lucky to survive when he wrecked it on his way to Broome, had an unscheduled meeting with a scrub bull, all he got out of the wreck was the engine and the spare wheel.
