I want one, went for a wee test-ette while over in Oz a few weeks ago, what a sound! Jeesus it goes..

It'll be my next work vehicle, bit better than a citroen dispatch!

That Cortina looks funny. Brings back some memories.

It might even have a Sierra Cosworth engine under the hood.

My second favourite Aussie lunatic car after the Monaro
The Maloo, the name is Abo for Thunder!! Not a bad price either £26K for V8 madness with a flatbed!!

I tried to race a maloo from the lights in our 1.8 toyota corolla (auto), needless to say we didn't win!
Also had a spin in the v6 4.0 litre turbo xr6 ute, just as mad above 2000 rpm......
Petrol is still around the £1 region so no probs there. I think about 19mpg. Just like a rang rover-ish
