Outer Limits

[Grover-98]

Why is it that those guys cant give simple advice without getting all worked up, also they really dont make a newbie feel welcome...

I think ill stick to this forum! Much friendlier and you guys actually help without criticizing. For you guys who also use Outter would you mind remembering the forum is for helping each other not trying to be bigger then each other.

Are we talking the Rover section or just general chit chat:confused:

[Grover-98]

General Chit Chat :(

[amtravic1]

I guess its because they are all jealous of a Rovers capabilities and try to put them down as much as possible. I read your post regarding a Suzuki on there.

[Grover-98]

Yeah thats the one. I have now learnt to watch what i say on that forum.
I have been cheating on Land Rover a little with the Suzuki :angel:

[amtravic1]

I find OuterLimits quite entertaining. There are some very sharp replies given at times. You need a thick skin.

Ian

[Grover-98]

Yeah its all good fun. Doesnt bother me but i just needed to let the guys on this forum know they have much more of my respect.:)

[PAT303]

Try explore Oz.No better place for one eyed biased opinions based on hersay and rumour.Thats where I go for a bit of light entertainment.Actually we should all give drivesafe a clap for his sticking it up the tojo owners,the LC200-D3 thread is a good example. Pat

[Slunnie]

Don't sweat about it. It's be like saying that Suzukis are better than LandRovers on here. Someone will bite. :lol2:

[PAT303]

Come on slunnie,my mates dads,uncles,neighbours friends who live across the road had a workmate who's brother-in-laws cousins niece had a suzuki that pulled a disco out of a bog that prooves that zooks are better. Pat

[Slunnie]

I'm not disagreeing Pat. :lol2:

Yeah, I hears about that off of an unlces, sisters friend.... The Suzis diff broke from memory.:lol2:

[lokka]

Ya should try the landcruiser forum man dont them guys bite i had to change my sig cause it had the words "soft" and "landcruiser" in the same sentence :p:p

[Slunnie]

There are a lot of very sensitive and defensive 4WD owners out there! So many of them can have a dig but cant take one. Good for baiting really. :D

[lokka]

Yep forum fishing i call it :D:D:D

[long stroke]

What else would you expect out of a Nissan/tojo owner:angel:

[dullbird]

just as many on this site that do the same thing....it's not brand specific ;)

Must admit I bit on this comment on a UK 4 x 4 site




I know the Landy stuff can be pretty unreliable, but then I'm a serial tinkerer




What BS. If you tinker with ANY motor it will be unreliable! Maintain and drive a LR properly then they are reliable as any other vehicle.

OL is the half tame Aus version of Pirate 4x4 from the States. That was apparently how it was set up and there are certainly no apologies from the founders.

I have enjoyed it for quite a while because there is some really good innovation and problem solving at times. I don't think it hurts to see what the wider 4wd community think about issues, even if some of them are full tilt rednecks. Some of it is very intelligent and hilarious.

cheers, DL

[Disco95]

I've actually only stuck to the Rover section and on occasion, more recently, the Jeep section.
(not that there's a problem with SWMBO's new Cherokee) just looking at times to see if others have any.
I find the tech stuff extremely helpful in most cases.

Me too, I don't venture into any areas that don't interest me and I get plenty ofg tech advice and ideas of Outers so in that way I do enjoy the site.

Yeah the only thing i look at on OL is the rover tech and the classifieds section;)

Likewise, I really like Pirate. The tech is absolute benchmark and exceptionally diverse. Some of the engineering on there can be a bit dodgy and nobody seems game to question it, but likewise it is largely 1st rate work and just so impressive. What has been interesting is to see the way the members approach dealing with the King of the Hammers event and their vehicle development. They've learnt a lot since last year, but I think the learning curve is super steep for them still. Its a shame there isn't circuit racing and rallying experience in the mix too to share developments on weight biasing and positioning, shock and spring setting and development and the other finer details rather than just chassis, suspension design, axles and driveline. Anyway, I'll babble for hours if I keep going.

:lol2:
Which we've all done on OL a fair bit in the past :D
I only drop in on Pirate once very couple of months these days, just to see if there's anything new/interesting.

I thought they were quite gentle with you, considering the inflammatory statements you made. I guess some of them may still be on holidays, Outers has been a bit quiet of late. Lucky you didn't try that on Pirate, your private life would have been laid bare for all to see, and some of them may even have come knocking on your door!
