I wanted to reply to this post when it first hit the forum but thought it would be pointless because I couldn't work out to attatch a pic to my post. I had just purchased the ultimate (in my opinion) surfmobile and wanted to share it with you all. Its a 4 wheel drive V6 Holden Jackeroo. Goes anywhere.

Please just ignore the fat old man in the picture, I dont know who he is but he seems to pop up in all my photos lately even my surfing ones. Must be some sort of weird time warp thing! :roll:

Yeah goes really well and as Australian as vegemite!

Bit thirsty on petrol which is a bugger now that fuel prices are going through the roof $1.26 a litre here in West Aust but that's the price you pay for having the toys you want.

AUS $1.26!!!! Blimey -

In the UK the price of unleaded averages 99.8p a litre at the moment - that's AUS$2.37 a litre or US$1.76 a litre (that's US$ 6.66 per gallon!!)

Gotta love the taxman!!

I agree, but I tend to prefer the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Silverado, Ford F350 Super Duty. The best trucks in small, medium and large sizes.

I try to borrow my dad's Silverado but most of the time I just use my Mazda3 for surfing trips. I think it's time to get a roof rack.

'Nuff Said!

I once saw someone who had restored one of these to its original glory. It was white and Jade green.

He'd then had a longboard made to match with 2 jade green stripes down the middle.

Beautiful!!
