4wd Action Wants Landrovers

[Defender=1st]

I just got a fortnightly newsletter from 4wd Action.

" CALLING ALL LAND ROVERS

Speaking of Land Rovers, this week we’re asking for all the ‘Rover owners out there to show the rest of the country just how tough their fourbies are.

Why not send us an email to customs@4wdaction.com.au with a bit about your Land Rover? Add some photos, and tell us where you’ve taken your pride and how she’s performed. "

Iam sure there would be some great one's here.

its good that they are wanting to give us more of a showing, after all land rover drivers have feelings to :D

[George130]

Didn't even get my email.
Maybe they have noticed the drop of in Landy members.

Probably because of the Neanderthals that frequent the site bagging LandRovers!

Got that right. But not just because they bag landies either.

They are easily put back into their place though!

I don't remember my passwaord anymore. Stopped going there after the @#$%&@$% modderator during the shed incident. If the mod can get away with being that biased and wrong then management support his views also.
I have not forgiven or forgoten.

[tombraider]

I know theres a Landy coming up in a few months :cool:

And maybe another later in the year...

[agrojnr]

I sent them an email saying would they have a look at mine when finished and they said no worries just email use when done

They want more landies because every other 4wd all look the same I think

Yep the same reason i left the forum. They were going to do a feature on my landy too, but i told them to stick it after some crap the moderators said on the site.

[Rangier Rover]

Tell them to put it someware that is warm:2up: They're after subscciptions:mad: They bag Rovers big time.:mad: Till they want something.;)
Yes there is a few good Landys in their fleet:D

[Ken]

Glen one of the editors of A4WD Action has a Rangie nice one too
they must be off there heads bagging Landies
Thats why they made other 4x4s to keep the noddies out of LandRovers :D:D

[460cixy]

nahh **** e,m, in nearly every one of there ****iy dvds there baging a landy my two best mates being nissan drivers say fair suck of the sav. seing my defer haveing no trouble going where they go and also being woken up to how cheap most genuine parts are compared to nissan genuine ie filters ect like basic service parts and also the ease of of working on the landy compared to the nissan they have seen the light. not to change to landys but to see that the bull**** they have been told / heard for the last 10/15 years is all bull**** and ruthy is a half wit

[DEFENDERZOOK]

i would say roothy is pretty clever........


if you got paid what he does to say what he says.......im sure you would do it too......i know i would.....

he does it in about 3 or 4 different magazines.......he is good with his tech tips......





as for wanting landies........half their staff drive landies.........and there havent been any landies in their mags for a while........
they need a bit of variety.......

the magazine is a business.......and is controlled by the advertisers.....
the advertisers will only pay if people read the thing.......so if they lose a share of the market......
their sales will drop......so will their income........

so they need all types and makes to keep everyone interested.........



standard business stuff really.......

Why must a 4wd be tough? Never understood that.

Heres a story I prepared earlier

I have taken my pride Isuzu 110 to the shops, she performed greats. Heres a shot of her articulating over the speedbumps at Bunnings.

(Insert pic here)

Then we picked the kids up from school and decided due to time constraints, to do the soccermum run in it instead of the Discovery.
Again she showed excellent articulation over the kerb and an MX5.

(insert pic here)

She performed faultlessly throughout the entire 25km trip, using no oil and only 3 litres of diesel.



What do I win?

I had a go at them not long ago about the latest DVD and the 4wd of the year rubbish come on, a Patrol a Pajero a Prado Jeep and hummer what there no other 4wd made :mad:

I was told then that DVD was for free by some idiot I couldnt stop laughing :D

My wife was a PA to the owner at express publication when she was we lass she said he is a creap explains alot :o

The reason for that is they had to be automatics:D

I like the mag and the forum never had any troble with them sure they bag the landies but if you read through some of the posts they bag alot of other stuff too.

Also in the last 3 issues a landy has been in all of them and 2 dvds ago they did the green 130!

And as for saying they want tough 4wd drives then thats crap because in the lastest dvd they have a Paj thats set up for towing:eek:

But as the saying goes if you own a landy you need to have a thick skin and I guess some of you don't

[Grizzly_Adams]

*cough* I remember another rant not too long ago about that DVD - the Hummer was definitely not automatic even though it was one of their criteria.... :angel:

EDIT: Besides, what happened to the Discovery? Or was that out of their price range?

[agrojnr]

True very true but I think thats cause hummer did'nt have any auto's

** Thats where it gets confusing and why I wrote a letter to them the criteria said $60000 plus and has to be 4 door family wagon with auto except the jeep which was only $46000. But maybe Land rover did'nt want to give them one after the last one died in the middle of no where**

They came over last week and did a photo-shoot and article on my D3. Spent all day in the mud and then up in the sand-dunes. Seemed polite enough and very helpful. Apparently it'll be in the May edition.

Cheers,

Gordon

[Reads90]

Well i sent them an email this morning with some pics of the 90 and got an answer back from them in about 2 mins, So they are pretty much on the ball.

[Tango51]

The fact that the heavily critical thread remains open and active over there is a sign that Glenn the editor is willing to take criticism and that is a very good sign that they will improve.
I admire that.
What I can't stand is when moderators bully people into silence.
Or when all these positive spin comments and threads occur with all these 'nicks'.
Surely the addition of Landies will be a great boost! :D

[stevo68]

I like the mag and the DVD's and visit the forum at least once a day. There isnt as much LR bagging as one may think. Even with the current issue of the 4WD of the year thread, quite a few have stated...where are the LR's.....and noting that they drive a toyota or nissan. Gee in our club we bag each other at times about where the Classic will go today, will the fender make it up the hill, will the D3 do another tyre etc etc. Generally all in good fun, it is the one eyed monsters who defend to the enth degree, they are the ones who can ruin it for all. Anyhoo have just emailed them a collage of pics of the D3 out at play and a little story...so who know's.

I did the same and had a reply in minutes asking if I was interested in featuring my vehicle, cant but help the marque to get more in the mag.

Me too, just arranging the date to meet the photogragher, don't know what they see in mine, but it should be a bit of fun.

Whether it makes the mag or not, is another story.

The latest issue (#117) with the Classic RR buying guide has a nice photo of a familiar looking yellow RR (TJS-70Y) :).
It looks like Old Slippery Rock Rd. Good going Thomas ;).

They'll change that to leaking very little....
