Don't be offended by JimOhio's "purist" opinions. Emphasis on "opinions". Wait until you discover what has been written about what is or is not a real Mini.

Just saw this article about aussie mokes. I am offended as I am half Australian, Don't ask which half. LOL

Aussie moke's have bigger tires for off roading in the outback, something your english mokes couldn't never handle with those toy 10" wheels.
That's why the army rejected your mokes.

The Bar in the front is called a kangaroo bar. If you ever seen a big kangaroo in the outback you would be glad to
have the bar.

Yes the mirrors are not in the right place, I will give you that one. 

There are a lot of strange animals in Australia, the reason for the side curtains as you might find one in your moke if it was all open.

I like the tail lights, a lot easier to see then the english mokes

Most aussie moke's have roll bars for off roading, safety first

As for not being able to run you over with 10" wheels, English mokes weigh less, I will just pick it up and drop it instead.

Why did they stop making english mokes anyway?  small wheels, cheap tiny bumpers, underpowered engine?

Aussie Mokes rule. Ok now I feel better

if you are able to stick to facts and tell us what part of the above features of a moke that is not found on a proper moke feel free to respond
So you have done some research FINALLY !!!!

At least you didn't finish your usual rant of BS with "i am correct as usual"

As far as your question EVERYTHING. In fact later model Australian Mokes are one of my favorites.

Most personalized signs are better when the sentence "Go F yourself" is added at the end.

It's another day in paradise, Go F yourself.   It's five o clock somewhere, go F yourself.

The OP wasn't/isn't trying to be humourous. Apparently he's serious.

For sure Al!

Also, I don't get the "high seats" bit. The steel pans in an English Moke ride WAY higher than the suspension seats in my Australian..

Maybe the OP is "high" on something else not related to Mokes...

What is what meant?

Define normal for all us mere mortals in Jim's world.

Again before hitting the keyboard do your homework you are not correct as per usual.
