Whats the Best vehicle after a Rover

[Vandermorph]

Mine personally is a Rodeo but opinions Vary!

[Yabbie]

Rodeo !!!

How dare you swear in here!!


Now go and read the owners 10 times and ask the Land Rover gods for forgiveness.

[dobbo]

Are you on drugs?


There is no other cars better or equalling a rover

mate you realise your on a Land Rover site

If I were a Rodeo driver

I'd buy a pushie

[dobbo]

seriously though


Go buy a TVR Tuscan

Vary interesting post, again, Vandermorph.

Do you mind me asking about your handle? Where is morph? Is the "V" significant?

Do you fish?

Steve

[Vandermorph]

Yeah but you cant get a good lookin ute in a Rover

[Vandermorph]

Nah i dont fish but i would if i had time

[dobbo]

Nah i dont fish but i would if i had time

Obviously you haven't seen a series ute
Or a defender ute
Or a rangie ute
Or a disco ute

[rick130]

That's a trick question, isn't it ;)

[Vandermorph]

Yeah but they dont look as good as a rodeo

[scrambler]

I'm certainly wondering about where the piscatorial scent is eminating from.

oi ! my 'fender ute takes exception to that :bat:

[dobbo]

Yeah but they dont look as good as a rodeo
I refuse to answer anymore of these stupid bloody questions

[scrambler]

Is it time to let the dogs out? Please, please!

My only question is - where's Vlad?

Steve

[one_iota]

I resemble the above remarks

I drive a Holden

[scrambler]

Or am I reading too much into this V?

listen mate a Rovers a great Vehicle but a rodeo stands out in a crowd

[Slunnie]

Mine personally is a Rodeo but opinions Vary!
I think a Pajero. :firedevil:

[Vandermorph]

Paleros are alright but not as good as a rodeo

[D110V8D]

listen mate a Rovers a great Vehicle but a rodeo stands out in a crowd

Do you need help standing out in a crowd??? The clown suit not enough for you???:D :D

[Quiggers]

Dismissing the Rodeo dealer in here, trying poorly to convince us of some obsequious device of no heritage, after my D1 gets a park in the long shed...I'd probably have a...D3.

Then I'd fix the D1.

Considering other posts in our fora, it's curious that we are asked for a choice of just one...the shed is replete with interesting things, and most of us have interesting sheds...

Round here right now I'd have an electric golf buggy type device, that would easily replace the LR - for short hauls only - but you'd need to live here in a village to get it. I wouldn't take a cute ev into NorthSydney, which was my home for the past 40 years, too many goons in 4wds there....lol

listen mate a Rovers a great Vehicle but a rodeo stands out in a crowd

I sold my 1997 Rodeo to buy a 1994 Discovery. I had it for nearly 6 years and although I loved its practicality I certainly didn't buy it for its looks.
As for buying a Rodeo to stand out in the crowd :D You obviously drive with your eyes shut :D:D:D

A Rodeo comes from Isuzu, yes?

didn't they make the Florian?

and the Gemini?

and the Bellett?

and Isuzu gave up making cars, couldn't cut the mustard?

easier to make soggy lite trucks....

the rodeo does look rather butch, tho, hmmmmmmm

but i only conject, can't actually picture what it is - a thing with a steel tray on the back, maybe...

[tombraider]

listen mate a Rovers a great Vehicle but a rodeo stands out in a crowd

You do realise that **** your smoking is illegal and ****s with your head dont ya :confused:

Common as freakin muck around here.... Same league as the UGlux

BroInLaw has one for his work, so do his 3 partners... All say they're sh1te.:p

None of them will replace with same when leases are up.

These questions are FREAKIN STUPID

Lets get onto the Landy stuff again...

So what was the last vehicle you drove before buying the Best Vehicle Available?

Tombraider:angel::wasntme:

[DionM]

and Isuzu gave up making cars, couldn't cut the mustard?

easier to make soggy lite trucks....


... yes but one could argue that they were responsible for one of the best diesels ever fitted to a Landy (4BD1).

Oh ... and the next best vehicle ... a Jeep :D but I'm biased .

Oh ... and the next best vehicle ... a Jeep :D but I'm biased .
I was going to post that, seeing as the marque was part of my life from 5 years of age to 35, but wasn't game :D

BTW, does anyone else smell Troll ??

[JDNSW]

How do you manage the equation

Best = Looks Good ?

Apart from the fact that looks are just about totally irrelevant on a four wheel drive, let alone a major factor in determining "best", "looks good" is very subjective, and you'll find it hard to get any agreement at all.

Before you decide what is next best you have to decide on the criteria for best, and it is unlikely that looks will feature very high in this. In any case, since we have agreed that Landrovers are best and we are looking at the next best, it seems that the criteria for best are ones that Landrovers do pretty well at, so given this it is a bit hard to see a Rodeo doing all that well on these criteria in view of how much weight has obviously been put on offroad performance.

http://theoildrop.server101.com/forums/images/graemlins/feedtroll.gif

Only since the very first post in the introductions, rick130. Gave him/it the benefit of the doubt there. It's definitely a regular AULROian in disguise. It's surprising how much time a new member can spend in PMing. And then there's the one post to a thread not started by the Morph itself, which starts "Mate ive told you before..."

Would be nice to know who, though. :twisted: :nazilock: :wasntme:

[djam1]

Rodeo
Great if you wish to drive on the sealed roads and when it breaks in halves because you don't holden will fix it if you sign a pact of silence.
Well so I have heard

To even mention a name like that on a Land Rover forum is about as relevant as Bob Brown.

[dobbo]

Why don't we get Ace's opinion on the subject at hand


I wish you all the luck in the world in your Rodeo but, make sure you get the 1 tonne version, thats a monster chip on your shoulder there my boy, you might need the extra pulling power.

Please refrain from trying to troll for arguements on this forum. I don't come here for a landie bagging session and nor should you

[Phoenix]

Yup, I smell troll as well :lol2:

Sorry mates that name wont be used in a thred of mine again

[Ace]

You go away for a day or so and the forum goes nuts.

The thing many people dont realise is that even though a rodeo has 4wd its not really built to do what cruisers, patrols and landies are built to do. A rodeo is a work ute initially targetted at farmers who need 4wd to get around the farm. Even though over recent year the likes of hilux, triton, narvara and rodeo have become more of a recreational vehicle than a work truck they still compromise wheel travel in order to retain some deal of carrying capacity.

And this is the sort of person you want people to take out in their Landies this weekend?
This is one of your students is it not?

Mine choice is another Rover- but then after 25 I may be biased.
Although I have sampled many other brands as work vehicles.

Yes i get the feeling it is, he sent me a message saying high, i dont know which one, but when i find out he is getting detention. Matt

[Ace]

Not if he is going to get on here and carry on like a tool. This forum is my sanctuary, i have no problems with the kids joining and learning the ropes like Mud_bogger but i wont be tolerating **** stirring, thats Jason's job. :D

[dobbo]

He could get a lift in my Landie!!!


















If we can attach him to my snatch strap

[stevo68]

With the question that was asked, Im surprised no one has answered it correctly. Instead of even contemplating responding to such a "git" initial response to the question asked in the first place, I shan't be blasphemous to mention the "R" word, but happily will scream at the top of my lungs "BLASPHEMER" to those who did :p . Anyhoo, and yes the 2 coffees this morning are kicking in, the answer is quite simple and that is the the best vehicle are a rover is.....................ANOTHER ROVER :cool:

No worries, no objections here. :D

I think he may have learnt a valuable life lesson here fellas, which which no amount of talking at school would have acheived. If he has learned his lesson then i would say he is welcome to stay. Just because they know me doesnt mean he can get on here and do what he likes. My advice Vandermorph is PM me and tell me who you are. Matt

[FenianEel]

Yeah but you cant get a good lookin ute in a Rover

Hmmm, stay off the crack.
Get OUT of the school you're in, (you
Get a licence and a 4x4, then you can drive down to the disposal store, buy a maglite and map, and go looking for some common sense and taste:twisted:

Welcome to AULRO though- I look forward to heaps of constructive input :rolleyes:

Who said i invited them? In case you hadnt noticed this is a public forum, i cant police who joins. I will talk to the student in question and tell him to pull his head in now i know who he is. I would also suggest that we encourage any young kids to join its good they get involved, not in the way he has but young kids need to learn, and i can safely say after some of the responses from you guys i think he has, good work. Matt

In the words of Willie the pothead, from the Movie "Snatch"

Chill, Winstaaan.

All in jest Ace...:D

[scrambler]

Glad it's all sorted out and I was wrong. What do you teach these kids, Ace? But if we're kicking all the "gunna's" off the forum, I'm out as a "gunna" get serious some day LR driver. I might love 'em, but I'm not using mine to their potential, as y'all must know! Vandermorph, welcome, again.

I dont teach the one in question, but i will make it my mission to educate him. There is nothing wrong with Rodeo's but they are hardly Compareable to Land Rovers.

I hope Peter that this has been a lesson and in the future you add only constructive comments. Matt

Rodeo, cowboy, Brokeback mountan, Bull.....

To use an americanism, i think we all got 'punked'.

They're probably rolling 'round the floor laughing their heads off.

Ace, get them to do something worthwhile, like fix a gearbox or similar,

one from a crappy old Daewoo, then (they) brush paint the car safety yellow and they have to drive it, to school....

In order to settle the whole Rodeo vs LR thing we need to look at it objectively:

Here is a LR Defender Ute:
http://www.truckworld.com/shows-events/98-germany/15.jpg

(Horn, right ?!)

Here are some Rodeos:

Some people crash them as soon as they buy them, just to avoid the embarassment of being seen driving them in public:
http://www.aaa.asn.au/NCAP/images/Crash%20images/Rodeo01.jpg


Two-tone paint option is shoddy at best:
http://www.supportalight.com.au/rodeo.jpg

Ground clearance inadequate for off-road work:

And they do get stuck. This one is being recovered by, oh my, it's a Defender !

I rest my case.

There is nothing wrong with Rodeo's.....:eek::eek::eek:

Isuzu make a bloody good truck, and imho as a former truck owner, operator, fixer, modifier, and salesman, are streets ahead of all the other Jap. truck makers, and most of the Euros in the light, medium, and lower heavy classes. Look at the sales figures. The buyers are voting with their cheque books. I would even say that they are the only Jap. maker who could be considered to make a bloody good truck. They also make bloody good engines for sale to others, 4BD1 & 4BD1t for starters, the Thermo King light-weight 3.5 litre six cylinder, etc.

[Bigbjorn]

I told mud I'd keep you busy while he beats the crap out of him behind the bikeshed

I thought they did something else behind the bike shed at those boy's schools.

Nice photos and lines tho', I laughed out loud, again, crikey! twice in two days!

[timberwolf_302]

I wouldnt mind a 60 series Land Cruiser...or even an 80 series (nothing newer, mind you). Love the older ones.

Having said that, if I ever have the spare money to purchase one of those...it will be spent on another Land Rover.

Maybe one day I'll get a cheap 60 Series and just flog the crap out of it.

[PeterM]

If I had to I'd probably look at a Wrangler if I couldn't get another Rover.

[Ace]

I honestly dont know what i would get, most likely a 4.2L or is it 4.0L Turbo Diesel Patrol GU. It really hurt to type that. :(

[rangieman]

mine would have to be a wheel chair as that will be the only other car id own except the wifes ford:cool:

Had a NA Patrol GU wagon as a work car once - was a little wasted as I was on an island with unlimited km fuel card! But did manage to scrape the plastic wheel arch eyebrow off on a tree doing "essential" work :angel:

I think I'd have to go Subaru WRX. The difficult choice would be to raise or to lower...:twisted:

[Disco_Drivin_Dude]

Yeah but they dont look as good as a rodeo

They might not look as good but appearences ain't everything. We have rodeo's at work. Biggest, most guttless pieces of crap with a clutch to match.

If I ever buy a Rodeo, I personally, will squash my own testes with a hammer on a wooden block. It would be far less painful than owning a Holden of any description. :eek:

[mr_sav]

JD,

I Like your humour, but really, You would only be towing a rodeo because it's a piece of Sh*t, bogged or broken down.

You tow a trailer because it is an asset.

[timberwolf_302]

Ok, what are your opinions on Navaras?

[VladTepes]

Nissan Navaras ?

They are a pretty looking beast, no doubt about it:

http://img.fowles.com.au/1922/19228881F.JPG



Apparently they can go off-road. This one seems to have fallen off the bitumen into a culvert - look, it's tyres are dirty !

http://www.michaelis-tuning.de/c/ann.jpg

However even Nissan themselves recommend you carry an alternate form of transport for when the Navara breaks down:

http://www.tbwa.pt/tblogwa/archives/media/nissan%20tt.jpg

of course, additional precautions of the same type are necessary when travelling on the beach:

http://parkers.dailyrecord.co.uk/imagecache/file/590/archive/LCV/Nissan/Navara%20(05-)/NMGB_274_05.jpg

Special kit is available to make them competitive with a Defender:

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2006/09/17.jpg

[dungarover]

NOTHING. The best thing after a Rangie is a Disco, then a Defender and pushing it a Freelander.

Don't mind the Jeep TJ Wranglers though, at least they're not Jap and they're a real 4WD compared to the rest of the soft cock 4WD's out there. But still Land Rover for me til death :cool:

If I was getting a twin cab such as the rodeo, triton etc it would have to be a Narvara, with the Turbo Diesel. Nice looking bit of kit. Matt

[Vandermorph]

What about Hummers

[VladTepes]

What about them ?

[Vandermorph]

Do you think they are good?

[dobbo]

The american military special forces want Land rovers to replace there Hummers

Try a search on this forum for hummers and see what comes up.

Yeah but are they as good as people make out they are?
