LOB015: Beach, City, Town and Country
Published by Kev September 2nd, 2006 in Podcast
In this episode, John and Kev discuss the four stereotypical types of Australian, the cars they drive and what they all have to do with Kath and Kim. Pictured here is a Holden Commodore Kingswood (the “Town” Australian’s vehicle of choice) decked out in “Country” corrugated iron—what a clash of subcultures!
Also in this episode, Kev recounts the experience his girlfriend had when she set out to cash in on a special offer at her local gym.
G’day guys!
That picture is of a Holden Kingswood. The Holden family car released before the Commodore ..
The Kingswood is a hugely famous car in Australian folklore.. Try googling an old 70’s/80’s show called “Kingswood Country”.
I was on Wikipedia looking at Steve Irwin info (in reaction to his untimely passing) and I came across this flash cartoon.
Apparently the astronaut was a thinly veiled parody of Steve Irwin.
The Aussie accent of the astronaut is as bad as Kev’s…. I recommend turning the subtitles on. Note the name of the spacecraft: the Fair Dinkum.
