This same stupid Girl ran out of Petrol in a Territory. I've don't know about many other Territory drivers, but when the DTE Flashes, it is generally time to fill her up.

Now that you mention it, I vaguely recall that incident too. I'll bet she blamed it on the "stupid car", and not her own form of mild retardation.

I saw Jamie Dunn of 'Agro' fame driving around in a dirty old Landrover Discovery with wall to wall spotties mounted on the roof. Didn't seem to be in the best of moods but then again neither would I if that was all I had to drive around in.

Yeah i've heard that rumour but have never seen confirmation, apparently Tim has said in the past that he doesn't have a Veyron

Graham Wood (Founder of Wotif) - 94 Ford Falcon Ute
Andrew Forrest (Fortescue Metals) - Toyota Landcruiser
Lindsay Fox - Imported GMC "pickup" truck
John Symonds (Aussie Home loans) - Holden Caprice

hopefully others find this kinda thing as interesting as me
Are you sure about John Symonds, a 60 Minutes report about him last year showed him quite a few times in his daily drive, a black Porsche. Saw something on ACA a few months back and he was still driving the Porsche.

Symonds does have a Caprice. 100% certain on this. Just a few weeks ago there was a newspaper article about this very topic.

They mention Aussie John with his Caprice. He said it was so that when he does / did house visits he gave people the impression he was an average bloke driving an Aussie car etc.

The article did mention 1 or 2 exotics that he has parked in his garage. They slip my mind as to what they were however.
