There are some real characters, I guess like any town has, around Alice Springs. Here's a few examples of what we do with cars, from respecting to recycling to just plain burning out.
No when they don't run anymore some of the locals strip them, flip them and burn 'em out. It's not uncommon to see this on the side of the road. They turn it in to a bit of a party.
I love that first old truck - ute. Thought it might be a Bedford or a Chevvie, but I embiggened to find it is a Commer. We had a Commer when I was a kid, a van which Dad fitted out with pokey windows and seats down each side, and Mum drove as a school-bus to supplement our meagre in-comings.
That last one seems to have been a nasty accident.

ReplyDeleteYes, we all love to attend a nice burnt-out-car party don't we!
ReplyDeleteI had to giggle at that last comment.
