Wide Open Road- History of Australian cars


Lukas from Down Under shared this 3-part series on the evolution of cars in Australia.  It's definitely worth watching.

  1. Fascinating stuff, thanks! I found the disclaimer in the beginning amusing. :)

  3. I'm also shocked by the disclaimer!

    On the other side, what a fantastic programme, thank you for sharing. I find Australian cars very interesting (as well as threatened, these days) and had not seen something like this before.

  4. The disclaimer is not amusing to Aboriginal Australians as their culture doesn't allow them to mention the name of anyone who has died. By putting that little message up they can choose whether to to watch it or not.

  6. I didn't mean amusing in an offending way, sorry if it came out wrong (English isn't my native language). I wasn't trying to ridicule anyone. I thought long and hard but couldn't think of a better word. I was a bit amused by the obviousness of said message, but moreso surprised.

  7. No worries mate. I was just explaining what it was all about.

  8. @All: We can all agree that the show was very educational. And we learned something about aboriginal customs/beliefs!
