DUMB TRUCKS

Every time I return to Australia Wheels also returns to my default magazine collection. No Top Gear nor CAR mag quite cuts the mustard Down Under.

So to the First Drives of your August edition. The facelifted C200, Santa Fe ... and the Ford Ranger Raptor. Where I live people are taking these Monsters on the school run. Big dumb trucks for big dumb people. How sad in the wake of a real Falcadore Aussies are turning even more inappropriately American.

To Wheels mag; please fight this with all your editorial might! Why not launch a sister mag ‘Dumbo-burger-trucks’ for those Raptor blokes with cowboy boots, 10-gallon hats and supersize-me french-fries?
