Yeah ... they're for the Caulfield Family of the late 1990s (which would
make Holden the grunge listening Lollapalooza attending miscreant (: ).

... not to mention embarrassing. All the models out here are called Outback
and Jackeroo, etc etc ... but the one that REALLY amuses me is the Nissan
Pajero. I had heard the rumours but a Spanish friend of mine actually
confirmed that it's true: `Pajero' means `wanker' in Spanish !!! My
standard road-rage call to road hogs of the 4WD persuasion is now `Donde
est la Pajero!' (:
Viva revolution,
