Ita an Australian term use for a "bakkie". Chris is right "UTE" = Utility. The Chev Lumina comes to mind. Here it is a bakkie and in OZ its a Ute.

a POS is bluntly a real doos of a person, or more affectionetly a good place to park your "Docca" on a cold night, heck even on a warm night. It is the reproductive organ of the female species.
It is also an accroynm for Piece Of Shyte... Which I think is the same as the 1st description...

Original Equipment Manufacturer
E.g. the spares you buy from VW, made by VW.
Incidentally I have found out what the 4 circles are in the Audi badge, it's the zero's you put after the reasonable price to get the OEM price...
What is the definition of NOS (New Old Stock)?

Oh...
NOS: merchandise being offered for sale which was manufactured long ago but that has never been used.
