As to the dents...I recall that Dad wasn't one to give slow kangaroos a break. Most passenger cars at that time in the outback had pretty hefty girders welded across their fronts--as in cowcatchers on trains--to shield you from hitting one of the big 6-foot/150LBer's at 60MPH on a dark night after a few too many refreshing cans of Fosters. And now kangaroos are protected, drink-driving is an absolute no-no and the outback is full of girly Toyotas.You know,darn it man--maybe I just might restore that old beast after all....
