Normal people know what is what meant with the term Aussie Moke so I stand correct, as usual.

2. Wheels too too big

3. Tires too big, to fit into the wheels that are too big

4. Goofy top 

5. Even goofier side curtains... If you want to drive a moke with side curtains your Moke should be taken away from you.. what do you want next, a heater in your Moke or intermittent wipers?

6. Mirrors, giant mirrors and in wrong location

7. Stupid bars, whatever they are called on front of Moke, sort of like some sort of battering  ram

8. Terrible looking tail lights

9. Usually come "tarted up"/ "gussied up"

and lastly, 10. not made in England

There you go, fine list if I can say. 

p.s. note to Al. if you drove over me with a real Moke with the proper 10 inch wheels it would be maybe a tad more difficult to actually get over me
You should do some research on Australian Mokes before hitting the keyboard regarding 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8.
Not all Australian Mokes are created equal.

What's worse than an Aussie Moke? Not owning any Moke!

If you bothered to do any research on Aussie mokes there are reasons why they have most of the things you described.... unbelievable!!! Leave them where they should be in Australia.

I could begin a long rail against this topic; but, will instead go for a spin in my big wheel Aussie Coke Moke and upon my return, enjoy a Foster's 25 oz. beer. Randy

Dan good guess.. only thing worse than an Aussie Moke is a Portuguese Moke.

I think that maybe even a Chinese Moke might be better than one from Portugal

An Aussie Moke that failed to run over JimOhio, even with the bigger tires.

Even if it was hard due to the 10" wheels, I'd back up and take as many attempts it took to run over your crazy @$$!
