Seeing them everyday, and seeing the people who aspire to own them here, makes you a bit wary of the brand connotations.

A 'Chav' is not a 'Bogan'. Seeing them everyday, and seeing the people who aspire to own them here, makes you a bit wary of the brand connotations.

I ski'd on Mt Buller in 1988,That road was amazing in an old 52 seat coach.Sat near the back I remember thinking George the coach drivers favourite film was The italian Job......on ice !
