That’s based on the Holden Commodore, as is the Chevy SS available in the US. GM could bring it here fairly easily, if they wanted to revive the El Camino.

Hodaka 125cc 'Combat Wombat' , a two stroke trail bike. This is a 1973 model. Hodaka was joint US / Japanese company that went out of business a few years after this picture. They were state of the art for their time.

I doubt I will ever have any other reason to post a picture of a Hodaka Combat Wombat, and this is a stretch!

They're real cute until they get you killed.

Gee, I thought a wombat was a woman combatant.

I still have a lot of trouble hearing ‘Wombat’ and not thinking of Brit 120mm recoiless rifles.

A big stingray. Thought he was a predator (tiger shark most likely). Hit him with a 6” barb a 100 times in a few seconds (at least that’s what his friend diving with him at the time said.)

Probably tried to avoid killing the Wombat and got killed for her efforts - never leave your safe zone for the sake of an animal. I saw a guy leave the road to miss a small dog - he ended up in the dog owner’s living room, ‘69 Pontiac LeMans and all.....
