'UTELESS'

[Glenny Palmer]

...
Him in the shed has been well and truly stranded without his ute for nigh on a month.....


‘UTELESS’

© 2011 Glenny Palmer

If I had a nice chrome bumper bar
and headlights out on show…
and my duco had no dents and bumps
suspensension tight and low…
and if I could pull a hundredweight
and lug a ton alright
and spring to action when he says
and instantly ignite…
If I could bring him ecstacy
by going at a ton
I might get patted on my rear
for a ‘bloody good job done’…
But here I sit abandoned
like a wreck dumped by the track,
‘cause I’m just his girlfriend; got no show
now he’s got his damned ute back!

A mans gota have his ute Glenny, and a Girl's just has to know where she fits in the greater scheme of things, it's just a matter of priorities.

Cheers Terry

If you can't beat them join them Glenny - go buy your own...next to my dogs my old Nissan Ute is the thing I am most passionate about these days The Caddy Wagon was born in 1987 and just had her a birthday and today sports a brand new sticker for the next twelve months.

1987 that would be a z20 or z21. Maureen they are good utes. Is it a dual cab ?


Mine has the old front and a three litre tray I got off a new model cause the old one sorta rusted out.


Still running ok.

Runs like a dream and cheap as chips to do so. Back is set up for camping and carrying the dogs with a whirlybird and scoop. CB radio never gets used these days. One pin spot of rust under the windscreen rubber and that's it.

[Bob Pacey]

I assume the scoop is for the dogs buisness ????

The kids keep telling me I've got no chance of picking up any stray stuff while I'm driving the ute but i reckon.

Love me love my ute !!!!

Anyway ya gotta be looking for strays if ya gonna pick them up hey.

What you are you lot wingeing about My old Nissan patrol wagon 1985 model 3.2 turbo diesel done 1,134,000 Ks does 9. 1/2 ks to the litre rego is NSW and the first three letters of the number plate RAT and she still goes well and thing of all is best of all She's mine and I own her. she's done her ks well so why get rid of the old girl. (Would you get rid of your missus if she still gave you good service)

[Maureen K Clifford]

No its an air scoop - a hatch type thing that you open and it sucks air through the back and out the whirlybird to keep the girls cool. I don't know Bob I always fancied blokes in trucks and Utes not that it did me any lasting good

And in answer to the last part of Bills Question - there are plenty of blokes who of course do. They don't see the benefit of what they have got beside them but fancy the latest racy model with red paint and airbrushing just like bloody cars. My number plate is FEX - make of that what you will but my mileage and my cars is lower than that and I love her I am not whingeing...won't be getting rid of her anytime soon.

I have an old ford ute, and I wouldn't be without it!!! She doesn't look like much, but she's mine - and has everything in it that I need when I head off somewhere!! Love sleeping in the swag in the back under that stars.
We needed to get another car recently to put a baby seat in, and the old man suggested getting rid of my ute (I note he didn't suggest getting rid of his landcruiser ute!!!) but that was never going to happen - so now we have three vehicles!!

Glenny - I totally understand where Croc is coming from !!!!!
