ʻO Utes nā kaʻa ʻoi loa ma ke alanui, akā pono lākou e kūʻai?
Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe o Aussie ma luna o nā huila ma mua o kahi Commodore a i ʻole he Falcon - koe wale nō ʻo Les Patterson e ʻai ana iā Steve Waugh ma ke kaʻa - akā ʻaʻohe o lākou e like me ke ʻano kūʻokoʻa, ʻano hou a maikaʻi ʻole paha e like me ute: kā mākou makana i ka kaʻa kaʻa honua
Ua lohe paha ʻoe i ka moʻolelo o ka wahine mahiʻai nāna i kākau iā Ford i nā mahina lepo lepo i ka makahiki 1932 e noi ana iā ia e hana i kaʻa nona e hiki ke lawe i nā puaʻa i ka mākeke i ka lā pule, a ʻo lāua me kāna kāne i ka hale pule i ka lā pule. Lāpule.
I ka pane ʻana, ua hoʻolālā ka ʻenekinia Lewis Bandt i ka SUV mua loa o Ford, kahi e hoʻomau ai i ke ʻano o ke kaʻa e lawe i nā mea a pau mai nā limahana a i ka HSV Maloo-aloha hooligans.
Ua hoʻopunipuni ʻia mākou e nā kahawai o nā mea hoʻoneʻe ʻano Yankee?
Ua kākau mākou i nā mele e pili ana iā lākou, mālama i nā hui no lākou a hana i nā hana kalapu i loko o lākou, akā, e like me nā wahi ʻē aʻe o Australia, he ʻaoʻao maoli ka yut i ka mōʻaukala, ma hope o Slim Dusty a me ka poʻe e ʻōlelo maoli nei "Honest Dinkum".
Me he mea lā ʻaʻole pilikia kēia i ka poʻe kūʻai kaʻa ʻoiai ʻo kekahi o nā kaʻa hou ʻelima i kūʻai ʻia ma Australia i kēia mau lā ʻo Utes nō, ʻo ka hapa nui o ia mau mea he mau alapiʻi hoʻokomo ʻia e like me ka Toyota HiLux kaulana loa, VW. ʻO Amarok a nani hoʻi i kūkulu ʻia ʻo Ford Ranger.
No laila, ʻoi aku ka like o kā mākou ute o kēia wā me kahi kaʻa huki, akā ʻaʻole anei mākou e hoʻonele ʻia i ka waikahe o nā mea kālai lāʻau Yankee?
Maikaʻi
Hiki ke loli ke ʻano o ka hui ʻana - a i ʻole ka ulu ʻana - akā ʻaʻole i loli iki ka mea a nā utes e hana ai. ʻO lākou ke ala maikaʻi loa e lawe ai i nā mea nui, kaumaha, a i ʻole ka palaka - e like me Clive Palmer - pōkole o kahi kaʻa māmā a i ʻole kaʻa.
Hiki i ke kua o ke kaʻa ke lawe i nā ʻano mea ʻino a pau, ʻaʻohe pilau e komo i loko o ka hale. Ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka hana, maʻalahi ka holoi ʻana i ka pallet mai ka hose a hoʻomau i ka hana aʻe.
I kekahi mau hihia, ʻaneʻane maʻalahi ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i loko. Hiki ke hoʻolako ʻia nā mana kumu me nā papahele vinyl a me nā noho paʻa paʻa, kūpono i ko lākou kūlana mea hana i kēlā me kēia lā.
Akā, inā makemake ʻoe e hana pālua ke kaʻa, e like me ka hana mua, hiki ke kūpono i nā utes hou i ka bila.
ʻO ka pali ma mua, he ʻano spartan maikaʻi, akā i kēia mau lā, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka loko o nā pali maikaʻi loa me nā kaʻa kaʻa.
Ke piha nei nā kaʻa o kēia wā me ka palekana, nā mea pāʻani a me nā mea pono e hiki ke hoʻokūkū i nā kaʻa nani, akā ʻo ka maikaʻi o nā plastic i loko a me nā ʻoki noho he hanauna ma hope.
E lawe pū ana ka hanauna hou i kekahi mau mea pāʻani e makemake nui e komo i ka pāʻani ulu ulu. ʻAʻole e liʻuliʻu ma mua o hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokele i kahi Renault a i ʻole Mercedes Ute me ka mea nona ka hale kaʻa kolepa. Loaʻa ka liʻiliʻi no kāu mau hui.
ʻAno
ʻO ka hoʻohewa ʻana i kahi ute no ka hoʻokele ʻole ʻana e like me ke kaʻa, ua like ia me ka hoʻohewa ʻana i ka hoki ʻaʻole he lio; no laila, he mea naʻauao ʻole ka nānā ʻana i ka lua koʻikoʻi o ka ʻona.
ʻOiai ua like ka pae o ka ʻenehana i nā kaʻa kaʻa e like me nā kaʻa kaʻa, ʻo ke koena o ke kula e pili ana i ka holomua e like me ka Amish. E noʻonoʻo iā HiLux, Ranger a i ʻole Amarok; paʻakikī a me ka hoʻokalakupua e like me lākou, hoʻohana lākou i ka ʻenehana chassis i lilo ʻole i ka makahiki 1960.
ʻO ka hoʻonohonoho kino-on-frame, i waiho ʻia e nā kaʻa kaʻa i ka wā i pōkole ka lauoho o ka Beatles, ʻo ia ke ala maʻalahi a no laila ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi chassis.
E noʻonoʻo i kāu alapiʻi waena. I kēia manawa, e hana i kekahi o nā kaola, e kau palahalaha, e wili i nā huila i nā kihi a hoʻopaʻa i ka keʻena kaʻa ma luna. ʻO ka mea āu i hana ai, ʻo ia ka chassis kumu e holo ana ma lalo o kēlā me kēia kaʻa i lawe ʻia ma ka ʻāina.
He ʻuʻuku loa ka hana ʻana o ka frame reinforcement i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā kino hoʻokahi a i ʻole nā mea lawe ukana. ʻAʻole hoʻi e pau ka stinginess ma ka chassis; ʻO nā mea hana hana e like me ke koʻikoʻi i ka wā e hoʻokuʻu ai.
ʻO nā pūnāwai lau, e like me ka makahiki o Les Patterson, he mea kūʻai kūʻai nui nō hoʻi i ka hana ʻana a kūpono i loko o kahi chassis alapiʻi. Hoʻopau pū ʻia nā pūnāwai lau i ka pono o nā lima hope a me nā mea hoʻomaha paʻakikī ʻē aʻe i koi ʻia i nā hoʻonohonoho coil-based, e mālama ana i nā kumukūʻai hana me ka haʻahaʻa. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo nā pūnāwai lau ke ala maikaʻi loa e hoʻokuʻu ai i kahi haʻahaʻa kaumaha, ʻoiai lākou e hohola i ke kaumaha ma ke kaʻa chassis ma mua o ka hoʻokau ʻana ma ka ʻili o ka piko o ka puna wili.
ʻO lākou ke ala maikaʻi loa e lawe ai i kahi mea nui, kaumaha a palaka paha - e like me Clive Palmer.
Hoʻomaka maoli ka laina lalo o ka ʻenehana kahiko honua e hōʻike i ka wā e hele ai ʻoe ma hope o ka huila a pā i kahi lua.
Ma muli o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka hope ma nā pūnāwai lau, hiki ke manaʻo i ka loli a me ka ʻole - no ka mea. He hana maikaʻi ʻole ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka hoʻokele ʻana i nā huila hope, ʻoi aku ka nui ma lalo o ka ukana, e hoʻoulu ai i nā ʻano ʻino ʻino a pau, ka hoʻokele a i ʻole ka lele ʻana i lalo o ke alanui.
E ʻoi aku ka ʻino o nā mea i ka wā ʻino, no ka mea, lilo ka hope hope i mea hana a i ʻole he moeʻuhane ma ka hau. Hiki ke hoʻihoʻi i ka mana o kēia wā a me nā ʻōnaehana paʻa, koi ʻia mai Nowemapa 1 i kēia makahiki, akā hūnā lākou i nā hemahema ʻenehana koʻikoʻi.
He mea hiki ole ke hooponopono i keia hana kolohe; e nīnau i kekahi me ka lole uliuli a e haʻi aku lākou iā ʻoe ʻo kā lākou kaʻa kaʻa ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka mālama ʻana - a ʻo ka paʻa maikaʻi loa - me nā bale mauʻu a i ʻole Clive Palmer ma hope. ʻO ia no ka mea e kūʻē ka paona i ka hana paʻakikī o nā puna lau, e ʻae ana i ka hope hope e hana me kahi ʻano o ka civility. Eia naʻe, me kekahi mau haneli paona hou, mai manaʻo i nā helu wahie kūpono.
He mea nui ia e hoʻomaopopo i ke kākoʻo maoli nei ʻo Nissan i kēia ʻano me kāna Navara hou me ka coil-spring rear suspension. He kaʻa koʻikoʻi ia ma kēlā ʻano, akā ʻo ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i kahi kaʻa kumu hoʻohālike o 2015 no kāna mau pūnāwai coil versatile, ua like ia me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i kahi ʻōpio no ke akamai i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻōpala a me ka pahi.
E like me ka hoʻololi ʻana o ka limu i ka ʻōwili Chico piha i ke kāpena i ka sushi, ua haʻalele ka hapa nui o nā Australia mai nā huahana Australia.
Me kēlā ʻano kīnā ʻino, ma ka liʻiliʻi loa i ka hapa nui o nā Utes, ʻaʻohe mea nui i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i nā mea ʻē aʻe. A ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ia ke ʻano - ke kūʻai ʻoe i ute, ke ʻae nei ʻoe e makemake kou mau hoaaloha, nā hoahana, a me nā malihini piha iā ʻoe e kōkua iā lākou e neʻe, lawe mai i nā mea mai Bunnings, a i ʻole e hele i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo.
ʻO ka liʻiliʻi loa, ʻaʻole hopohopo hou ka palekana ulia, me nā kaʻa mai ka hapa nui o nā mea hana e loaʻa ana i ka helu palekana ANCAP ʻelima hōkū. Inā ʻoi aku ka nui o nā kālā ma mua o nā kuli, aia mau ka Great Wall, Foton a i ʻole Mahindra.
Ke hoʻāʻo ʻia nei lākou?
E hoʻomaka ana i ka makahiki aʻe, e make ana ke kaʻa nāna i hoʻopuka i kēia māhele holoʻokoʻa - ʻo Ford Falcon ute - a ʻoi aku ka pōʻeleʻele o ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka Commodore ute. ʻO ka hapa nui o ka poʻe loea ʻoihana e ʻōlelo e pau ka noho ʻana i nā mahina 18 e hiki mai ana.
Me ka make ʻana o ke kaʻa maoli, ʻano pōʻeleʻele ka wā e hiki mai ana. Ke hoʻohana nei ke kino-on-frame i ka ʻenehana Great Gatsby like ʻole a me he mea lā e ʻoi aku ka nui a me ka clunkier me kēlā me kēia hanauna e hiki mai ana. Hoʻopiha ʻia lākou me nā mea pāʻani hou aʻe a hele mai me ka nani o loko, akā ua pau ka panache maoli kaʻa.
Loaʻa nā ʻike o ka manaolana no ka wā e hiki mai ana, e like me ka Mercedes-level interiors a me ka coil-spring rears, akā ʻaʻole lawa e hoʻoponopono i ko lākou mau hemahema.
Akā, e like me ka hoʻololi ʻana o ka limu i nā ʻōwili chico piha piha i ka ʻōpala i ka sushi, ua neʻe aku ka nui o Aussies mai ka pali pali ʻo Aussies i ka poʻe i makemake nui i ka honua.
No ka maikaʻi a i ʻole ka hewa, ua koho mākou me kā mākou mau ʻeke a e mau ana nā mea lawe mai.
Nā ʻatikala e pili ana:
No ke aha e kaulana loa ai nā SUV
No ke aha ke ʻano o ke kino kaʻa kaulana loa nā sedans
No ke aha he hatchback ka kaʻa akamai loa hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai
No ke aha e noʻonoʻo ʻia ai kahi kaʻa kaʻa ma kahi o kahi SUV
He kūpono ke kūʻai ʻana i ka ʻenekini kelepona?
No ke aha e kūʻai ai ka poʻe i nā coupe inā ʻaʻole maikaʻi lākou
No ke aha e kūʻai ai au i kahi hoʻololi?
No ke aha e kūʻai ai i kaʻa kālepa
