Early the next morning, Joseph drove the cows into the milking room, and after finishing this work, he came back to take a bath, and then prepared to take Wang Hao to Swanhill to buy a car.

In Australia, it is almost impossible to move an inch without transportation, such a vast grassland may not meet a few people at all, even if you go out to buy something, you have to drive for a long time, so buying a car is inevitable.

"Look at my car, a 2004 Chevrolet pickup, two-row six-seater, 72,000 miles, the performance is not bad, it has been used for nearly ten years and it is still so good, it was less than 10,000 US dollars at the time, which is very cost-effective." Joseph patted his old buddy and said a little ostentatiously: "The key to this kind of car is to look at the quality, don't break down lightly, otherwise you will have to wait for the car to be repaired on the road." ”

Wang Hao nodded, he found that almost all the ranches here use this kind of pickup, and it is more convenient to go out to buy things or bring livestock to see a doctor, and there are many things.

It's much more comfortable than in Central Australia, at least there's a motorway that doesn't bump on dirt roads, and there are no barriers on the highways, just pastures to keep the livestock at bay. Occasionally, there will be a dirt road connecting the highway to a pasture. Looking at it, the cows are leisurely swimming in the sun, eating and sleeping, sleeping enough, never entering the circle and not worrying about having this meal, compared to people who work hard to live, more than half a little comfortable.

Suddenly, Joseph remembered a very strict question, "Did you get an Australian driver's license?" If you don't have a driver's license, you can't drive. I feel that I will often ask for a driver's license at any time, and your Chinese driver's license cannot be used here, so it is best to take a new one. ”

I'm already on my way to buy a car, but I find out that I don't have a driver's license, what a sad thing it must be! Wang Hao shook his head in annoyance and said, "Dizzy, why didn't I think of this problem." I got my driver's license when I was in college, so it's no problem to drive, but won't it be troublesome to retake the test? ”

There are no other cars on the wide highway, and Joseph's Chevrolet is running on it, with the style of an American western movie. Sitting in the driver's seat, Joseph said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you know how to drive, there is no difficulty in reapplying for a driver's license, it is nothing more than a written test and a road test." The written test is to test the signs on your highway, after all, these are all in English, as long as you can understand it, there is no problem. The road test is simpler, drive a section of the road safely, and it is OK if there are no accidents such as car accidents and stalls, but the time is relatively long, and it takes 60 minutes to drive. ”

It sounds quite simple, Wang Hao couldn't afford to buy a car before, but he often drove the cars of Liu Qiao, Lin Hao and others, and he had quite enough experience, and now he is worried about the English version of the written test or computer-based test, which should be more difficult.

"It's very efficient here, you apply for it first, and then you can get your driver's license in a few days, so it won't take too long. Anyway, there are no police here, so today you can drive the car you bought back to the ranch a little bit in a low-key way, and it will be regarded as a practice. ”

It's an hour-and-a-half's drive from Golden Ranch to Swanhill, and the distance is even further if it's Sydney. Swanshire is a city in northern Victoria that isn't too big, but you can buy almost everything you can think of.

Joseph walked to a car dealership with ease and took Wang Hao to walk around slowly. This car dealership covers a very large area, hundreds of cars are parked in it without the slightest feeling of crowding, from high-end to ordinary, any car can be found. The clerk is neatly dressed and the service is very enthusiastic.

"The store is divided into eight sections, small cars, mid-size cars, large cars, sports cars, SUVs, two maintenance offices, and a TV room and bar. A young man walked over and introduced the car dealership very politely, smiling and making people happy.

"These cars look very sophisticated, but they are not very practical. If you live in the city and drive these cars, you have no problem, but the ranch is different, you have to run on the grass, maybe climb a hill or something, the chassis is high, you can carry things, and you have enough horsepower. At this time, Joseph had a sense of pointing out the country and scolding Fang Xuan, he pointed to BMW, Audi, Mazda, Volkswagen and other cars and kept commenting, and his words were full of disdain.

Wang Hao looked at him like that, couldn't help laughing, and said to the shopping guide next to him: "We want to buy a pickup truck, is there anything you can recommend?" ”

The shopping guide thought for a while and pointed to a place not far away: "That's the place that specializes in selling pickup trucks, let me introduce you first." Because of our special geographical relationship in Australia, many car manufacturers have entered the ranks of pickup trucks, among which the most famous ones are Toyota Hilux, Volkswagen Amarok, Ford Ranger, Mazda BT-50 and China's competitively priced pickup trucks. ”

Wang Hao shook his head blankly, he didn't study these pickup trucks at all, but Joseph said with some nostalgia: "Let's go see Toyota first, I remember that the first car was Toyota's Hiluk, I didn't expect to be able to see it now." ”

"It seems that you are an old cowboy, this Toyota Hiluk has sold 700,000 units in Australia, and has an absolute hegemony in the Australian pickup industry. Every few years, Toyota upgrades the car, which is a classic after all, and has stood the test of time. This is the latest model for 2013, and it is a considerable improvement over the previous version. ”

Wang Hao doesn't understand it very well, but this is the car he wants to buy, and he must make his own decisions. He opened the door, revealing the interior of a row and a half of seats. Sitting on the driver's seat, after adjusting the height, I felt that the seat was not bad. Trendy and fashionable, domineering in appearance and strong in performance, it has always been the star of the pickup industry and has unique characteristics. Compared with the existing ordinary double row, the wheelbase of the chassis is correspondingly lengthened while the cargo compartment is lengthened in one and a half rows. The indoor rear half seat can seat two people and meet a variety of storage requirements. This stylish model is very popular in the European and American markets.

In terms of appearance, Hilux is more farm style, rather than very angular, and Hilux looks very good with the surrounding cattle and sheep, and the sense of modernity is not very strong, and there is a retro feeling.

"In terms of power, the Hilux we tested is powered by a 3.0-litre D4-D diesel engine with a maximum output of 126kW and a peak torque of 343Nm (1, while a 2.5-litre diesel version is also available. In terms of fuel consumption and emissions, the Hilux also does a great job, with the 3.0-litre D4-D diesel engine emitting 203 g/km (manual) and 227 g/km (automatic). The shopping guide kept talking about these professional terms that Wang Hao didn't understand very well, and it was unbelievable that such a complex thing could be said fluently.

"Stop, stop, let's talk about fuel consumption, such a big car, there should be a lot of fuel consumption, right?" Wang Hao looked at the fuel tank and couldn't help asking.

The shopping guide frowned, and after thinking about it, he took out the manual from under the seat of this car, and he was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I just forgot about the fuel consumption." According to Toyota's official figures, fuel consumption is very small, almost 7.6 liters per 100 kilometers. ”

There are no high-end leather seats or interior packages in the car, only very comfortable woven seats, 6.1-inch touch screen is very functional, and the most important thing is that the price is very affordable, only 28,000 Australian dollars in Australia, and it seems that there are no more than 300,000 in the country to get it at all.

"I think this car is not bad, the appearance is domineering, and it feels okay, otherwise we will buy this one?" Wang Haogui is the new local tyrant in Australia, and he is naturally generous, and the eyes of more than 20,000 cars do not blink at all.

"Wait, you go for a test drive first, and then let's see how it works on the road, you can't spend money indiscriminately!" Joseph educated Wang Hao, and after carefully checking the parameters, he sighed: "The progress of science and technology is really fast, and such a good car is so cheap." ”

After the shopping guide went to get the car keys, Wang Hao was very excited to drive on the road, this is his own car, and now he is a family with a house, a car and a land!

When I came back to return the car, I suddenly found that there were motorcycles sold next to the pickup truck, with a complete variety, and famous brands such as BMW, Harley-Davidson, and Durandi looked very cool there! Imagine driving a motorcycle on the vast grassland, enjoying the thrill of the breeze, chasing free-spirited, it is simply a cowboy must-have!

Immediately fell in love with a motorcycle with a price tag of 27,000 Australian dollars, he rode it to feel it, and found that the body was very heavy, relatively thick, and gave people a sense of solidity.

"Look out there that's my bike, it's the same one you just rode, but it's a different color. I took out a loan to buy this car at the time, the price was 27,000 Australian dollars, and I can get it for 25,000 yuan. I took out a loan for five years, repaid $150 a month, got my payslip, signed it lightly, and got this top-of-the-line sports car without paying a penny, how about it, cool enough! The shopping guide proudly showed off the car parked at the door, streamlined, full of mechanical texture, and extremely handsome.

"Count this car into it, the price is 25,000 Australian dollars?" Don't hesitate to spend another amount of money on this motorcycle, so you can ride around the ranch and go for a ride without the bulkiness of a pickup.

The spirit of the local tyrant suddenly suppressed the shopping guide, and he hurriedly opened the bill, for fear that Wang Hao would regret it. Joseph nodded appreciatively and said, "I still have a few motorcycles in my garage, how can I be a cowboy without motorcycles!" This one looks great and suits you perfectly! ”

Come and see the Great Juggernaut
