BnS Ute: Great Utes, Great People

I have crossed many areas of this incredible country through many of the mining and country regions as a wide load transport vehicle escort. We travel on renowned stretches of the roads – the Sturt Highway, the Monaro Highway, the northern Savannah Development road and the beautiful Beef road. Everywhere we go, we pass bns utes of all descriptions and they each have their own unique flavour and character, as these people are living the dream. The formidable bull bars, spot lights, mudflaps and aerials and that thumping V8 sound pumping out from the engine bay. They represent the personality and character of the owner and the roads are their playground. The character they display is rooted in their freedom of expression and the original Aussies all had a similar streak of live and let live.

Often we camp up for the night on the side of the road, light a fire and tell tales late into the night. To see a bns ute coming from miles away can be quite a sight as their impressive landing lights you would expect to find on a truck, can be seen coming from miles away. These utes sweep the roads late into the night with some going to work and others either going home, to the pub or to catch up with their mates.

Who can deny these Aussies this great tradition, that only ever grows in interest? With an infinite supply of invention the mighty bns ute gang is sure to live on forever and the scene is made even stronger with their very own bns balls and ute musters to come together and have fun. If you see one of these vehicles, spend a minute to have a look at the attention to detail these guys put in to their modifications and the sense of humour they express. Don’t be intimidated by the mean looks of the bns ute, as you will always find a genuine, proud and friendly Australian owner, who will always have some incredible tales to tell about their scene. You can find out more at http://www.bnsute.com.au, where there are some sweet examples of the utes.
