Bogan Barbie our own Car-dashians?

A NSW family heavily into Summernats will film a pilot fuelled with boyfriends, parties, wedding plans & hot cars.


A NSW Central Coast family heavily into Street Machine Summernats has been signed for a Reality TV pilot, Bogan Barbie.

activeTV (The Amazing Race Australia, Carols in the Domain) will produce a pilot featuring the Wardell family and is in discussions with at least one major Australian network, rumoured to be Foxtel.

The series will be driven by “the most fascinating real-life Australian characters, and fuelled by a potent mix of boyfriends, parties, car shows, wedding plans, and some seriously awesome cars.”

Producer Michael McKay said “We think the Wardell’s will quickly become Australia’s most- watched family as they face everyday challenges with immense character and a keen sense of humour. Their world centres around cars (and fake tans!), and whilst they may have their run-ins, they remain a close knit and loving family.

The Wardells consist of Natalie, a 42 year old mum and self-confessed Bogan who loves her cars. To date, she has spent over $80,000 on her prized pink supercharged VS Commodore “Miss5L”. Brendan, her partner of 22 years who runs a plumbing business on the Central Coast, shares the same love of cars.

Together, Natalie and Brendan have 3 daughters; Jazmyne – 21, a Bar Waitress who has just been crowned Miss Summernats 2017. Tamika, a 19 year old Barista who prefers to go out and party rather than follow the family’s love and fascination of cars. Their youngest daughter, Montana, is 16 and still at school, and much like most of the members of her family, she is already a car nut. Collectively the family has over 10 cars, and they regularly enter and display their cars at car shows around the country.

  1. This sounds a bit like a reality version of Upper Middle Bogan. At least it’s not another reality show based around renovating, cooking or singing, so it might be worth a look even if just to try and understand why anyone would spend $80k on a Commodore!
