Why are there cool police cars around the world but in North America we get Ford/GM/Dodge generic musclecar wannabes.......

I mean where's Ford's GT40 highway pursuit vehicle?

Vauxhall in the UK was selling the UTE under their own branding. No idea how many were sold..

Interesting Japanese market cop car..

Off Topic but if the UTE Black Edition had been available in the US I would own one...

the final tally when i looked into it(2008-2010ish) was about $15-20k for the conversion, and about 3 months of work.. there was talk that the whole thing could be done for $30k if a salvage-titled G8 could be used for approximately $15k, but then you'd have a literal 'new' car with a branded title... that was the point i started calming down, as the only real way to make that work is to personally fund the entire thing. no bank is going to finance a car that costs twice what bluebook says.

Been there a few times over the years, and is the only place outside the US I'd be willing to live long term.

I would love to move there but unfortunately AUS has real immigration rules which I don't qualify under. Came very close once when I worked for a company that was expanding there, but at the last minute backed out of the merger that would have given me the opportunity.

As for the driving on the correct side of the road, man is that awkward when you first start being bi-drive. The first time I was in Melbourne you could tell I was turning because my windshield wipers would come on.
