A new collection of hilarious stories from John 'Bluey' Bryant, owner of Blue's Ute World.

Ever since the first ute in the world was born in Australia in the 1930s, when a Victorian farmer 'converted' his old Ford Sedan into a light truck using a hacksaw, Aussies have had a strong affinity for their utes.

Tradesmen turn them into travelling workshops, family men buy dual cabs rather than settle for the family sedan, and young city folk opt for Triton 4 x 4s as a nostalgic grab for a piece of the outback. And the dream of every country kid is to one day own an early-model Holden ute. No matter where you come from, no matter what you drive, these yarns will win you with their laconic humour and their quintessential Aussie charm.
