Hehehe...man...I've had three WB's...and HX and an HZ ute...loved them all.

I brought this one with the full intention of tidying it up and using it. But I was gonna leave it with a friend...cept she's moving in to my apartment so now I've got nowhere to keep the fucker.

All shit aside...it's the best WB I've driven...pity the body is so rough.

I almost died in one of those.
The story is a cracker but best saved for another time.
They can take massive impacts and still stay relativley intact...

EDIT: I notice the tags: "bogans heres your ride, rootininthebackoftheute" My old flat mate actually used to take his out with the matress and mrs in the back to park up in quiet scenic locations and have a root.

I've almost died in a WB too. We'll share stories some time.

I used to put a couch in the back of mine and park up on the riverbanks of the Hutt River when they had the Jetsprints out there...fucking great. Never got a root on the back of it though.

True, Must do.

Pure Upper Hutt Class.

Did it not have 253 in it!?! (Probably worse than the six in practice but it seemed to get the chicks going for the old flattie)

Don't think the WB had a 253 option. 308 by then.

Utes and the Hutt...hand in hand.

His was a transplant. It was really quite shit, I do suspect it would have been no better than the six aye.

My mate bought back from Oz a WB panel van that had a factory 253 with 5 speed manual box as standard, think it had been a Oz Govt spec special or something. Was a cool ute, for sure!

Noice. I used to have a HZ and drove it all over the country racing bikes all through my late teens and twenties - great memories but even greater utes- never once let me down other than a couple of self inflicted incidents that even then could be fixed with duct tape tea towels and No 8 wire. Try doing that on your common rail turbo diesel fuel injected double cab doofer today...

I saw an old Aussie V8 Ute with a bike on the back today, It was pacing me well, I was on the motorway, it was on the old road from between Haywards and the Saloon car, past the quarry.
Class.

Hahaha...I've done quite a few national tours with Holden utes...one of the funniest was when the 'egg fights' were in full swing down south. Simon Crafar was a critter and egged fuck knows how many people really badly. My best mate and myself spotted him in a camping ground we were staying at just cruising looking for victims...we sprung him and got a few good ones away that smashed on the inside of his passenger side window as he tried to escape. Hate to think how many eggs we all went through that summer.
