What's with the huge cowcatcher bumper?
I've noticed (as I'm sure others have) that almost every Australian 55 has a huge front bumper, like a cowcatcher on an old steam locomotive. Is this some sort of req'mnt, or do people do it to actually deflect big cattle as they're driving 100 mph across the Outback? That would seem smart, but 55's don't usually go that fast...
