G'day
I don't know whether criminals would be the best word to use.
We Australians applaud our larrikins with a great degree of endearment. We
like to wind people up and remark on things with our tongues firmly planted
in our cheeks. Give me a pretentious pompous ass and I'll show you a
thousand funnies.
Life is just too short to be serious.

Ps. I happen to be sitting here reviewing Graham Robson's new book in his
Rally Giants series on the 100/6 and 3000. Good to know that the 3000 is now
recognised as the first homologation special.

Australia?
