Purely for those into the art of beer bottles...
In far north Australia (just "up the road" from where I live.. a
thousand miles or two on the other side of Ayers Rock/Uluru) they have
the "Darwin Stubby" which is a few times the size of the normal beer
bottle.
Darwin/Northern Territory is like the Texas of Australia. Everything is
bigger there! Maybe, as with Charles Darwin, they believe it is a
"further evolved" bottle.
Now... back to cars...
