4WD Action mag.....look at all the AULROians!!

[long stroke]

Got the 4wd action mag in the mail today.
In the dvd we have Maggot 4x4 (Ash) in the Japan vs USA vs England challenge:cool:
And in the mag i can see a few forum members- Boxer, Redback, the yellow 2door rangie (sorry i forgot your user name):angel:, a silver defender (maybe discowhite;)) and i think a silver classic rangie (maybe Scouse)

Congrats to all:D

CHEERS TIM.

[Scouse]

Does AULRO actually get a mention this time?

[Grover-98]

I went looking for the mag today my local didn't have it :mad:

But i will certainly be getting it now! sounds like a great edition!

:wallbash:Damn post box:mad: I want my copy :BigCry:.

NO....

No mention of the site and made out to sound like they just happened upon you all whilst out and about (thought this was planned).
Really only focused on the fact that a base level d3 costs lots and has too many electrics.... but then the toyo200 is running on fairy dust isn't it to assist reliability. :angel:
Not the best article on l/r product but gave the d3 a fair report.

the dvd was ok but the voiceover man gives you the turds, still ash put on a good show and man he has some flex in that rangie. how is it running the new stt's.

cheers
yorkie :)

ps. anyone got contacts that can make up stickers for the top of windscreen with "www.aulro.com" as would give a little more exposure.

The magazine supplied those for the photo shoot.

[Newbs-IIA]

Might auctally buy 4WDMonthly again :p (yes I still use the old name hahaha) I'm a fan of the custom action mags though

[Yorkie]

The magazine supplied those for the photo shoot.

i guessed that as mr coopers was letting the air out before the start of the tests.....still nice to get a new set of boots:cool:

[long stroke]

Nope not one word about AULRO:mad:
I think the wind screen sticker sounds like a good idea to me, put one on boxer's disco:D

[Cap]

Now lets make sure we dont put ol' Boxer between a rock and hard place.

[Rayngie]

personally, i'm quite pleased they did'nt put the footage of me belting the tripe out of my inner guards to stop my tyres rubbing....that would have pleased the land rover haters to see that!

Still, had a great day out.

when are we going again?????

[Ace]

oh goodie, something in the mag to actually look forward to, and a decent feature in the DVD.

Should be out on shelves mid this week if it isnt already, looks like im off to the newsagents on wednesday

[George130]

Haven't bought the mag or been on their website since the great shed incident.

Shed incident?:confused:
What happened there don't go into the shed section very often;)

That was back when we all registered our rigs on the shed and had Landys in all the top 10 positions.
In retaliations the cruisers boys started voting full marks for any toyata and giving all Landys low marks. Mods accused us of doing it deliberatly and removed most of our scores.
Some of us also got temporary bans. One mod was extreemly out of order and very rude over it and never appologised so since then I have returned the view $%^# them.

Now thats just wrong:mad:
Thats why i don't get involved with different make 4wd forums, i'm a member of most of them mainly for the classifieds etc:D

[Redback]

I'm pretty disappointed they didn't mention the forum, considering it was an AULRO day out:mad::mad:

And the yellow rangie was Thomas:)

That really gets me! i hate that it seems to be you either love of hate Land Rovers, owners of other makes are so ignorant to land rovers! Toyota owners being the worst generally! when i went on a trip with a bunch of guys i took my Toyota lover mate and was glad to see all land rovers survive and only a 100 series broke down... funny how he didnt mention that but if it was a Land Rover i wouldnt of heard the end of it!

He is always first to say how un reliable Land Rovers are... but he has never had anything to do with them! and i must say mine has served me fine for almost 3 years and has 325,000K on the clock.

And he always says "how many toyotas do you see on the side of the road?" fair enough they generally are more reliable in some cases but lack personality and are just as common as a white fridge! and to back his comment i always reply with "as many land rovers as i see on the side of the road" as i have not seen on since the day i got my P's.


*sigh* sure is good to vent, oh and just so you know i canceled my registration on that forum as soon as i read this! :mad:

[long stroke]

We resently went out with the Woolgoolga offroad club that were hosting the 4wd action june long weekend meetup at coffs, suprisingly we didn't cop one bit of land rover payout;)
We had a great time!!
Just one or two harmless jokes which are fine in my opinion but i really do get over it on the forums:mad:
Some are worse than others, they were mainly nissans on the trip, still plenty of toymotors though.

CHEERS TIM.

I honestly had no idea :mad: haven't been over there for a while (except to post piccys of the IIA in the Series landrover section hahaha, there is only one thread in that section lol - most of which are my pics)

That really is slack...

[101 Ron]

I find ,if a thread at the 4 WD Action site is not what the Mods want or is honest, but may not be politically correct to the mag or a sponsor ,then the thread is pulled and one mod is a complete ####head.
I have a few different brands of 4wd kicking about the place, even so I find myself kicking around the Auldro site as there is little commercialism and politics and just good 4bys nuts like my self.

Piddler is in his soft top suzuki with a corolla motor in the readers section at the Pieman River

That incident was a couple of years ago now. I was a regular reader of their mag before that.
Things probably have changed since then.
I don't mind the freindly brabd ribbing as log as it doesn't get out of hand.

[BMKal]

No - things haven't changed that much George.

There's some great people on that forum, but unfortunately, a disproportionate amount of complete ******* as well, including one mod already referred to in this thread.
Unfortunately, the management of the mag seems to have deteriorated somewhat, to the point that the mag seems now to be aimed more at those I would class as the ******* in the 4WD community. There's definitely not a lot of technical credibility in their magazine articles any more.

And, I'm loathe to admit it now - I used to be a bit of a fan of Roothy in the DVD's - but not any more after some of his recent offerings.

I've just bought my copy of the mag. You must have really good eyesight or you have a different issue to me as I can hardly see my car in the pics :(.

If I squint & poke my tongue out to the left, I think I can make out my RR ;).

Yeah, i thought i could see abit or range rover so i just said it might be you:D

I'm a fan of Roothy, he got character!

The tech info may be difficult sometimes with the custom trucks as it is all supplied by the owner, and I'd bet that there are a lot of modified trucks ou there which have owners that don't really know what/how/why things have been done or the specifics or anything. I'm always fascinated by the custom jobbies where people have broken the ARB/TJM etc mold and gotten gritty fabricating their own bits to make it do what they want it to do.

I also don't support slagging off forums on other forums. Dirty washing should stay at home.

If this is in reference to my posts then I told them so back at the time. I also do not appologise or take it back.

[sclarke]

I laughed at that challenge.

The Rover was More Jap than Milo.......

No, generally speaking. I've seen it a fair bit on here and other forums. The last time I recall it happening here was a few months ago when there was a barney between AULRO and I think it was some UK forum.

No worries.

[dungarover]

I stick to this forum, great site and plenty of info plus our club hasn it's own section too :cool:. From experience, 99.9% of all the LR nuts I've met have been great people as a whole, always helpful and not full of themselves. That doesn't go with other brands, big egos and too much bravado for my liking I have experienced it for myself sadly.

On forum trips, don't generally do there mixed forum trips or go wheeling with non-LR people, call me a snob but I just don't have time for dickheads in Jap 4WD's shouting out foul language that are full of grog and full of stupidity endangering themselves and myself with there behaviour (ran into such mob at the Glasshouse Mtns recently).

The shed I don't go into much, too fiddly to acess and always get lost in there. I have a couple of my Rangies (one now sold) in there but haven't checked for a while.

Still enjoy the mag and it's articles but how namy Nissans with 35's, 6 inch lift and all the bells and whistles can you take :mad::mad: The budget buils they used to do seemed to be missing of recent :(

[Chucaro]

This is my fav forum, however I am a member of the Expedition Portal Forum as well and it is very good with very friendly members :)

[justinc]

Right. Heres my 2.5c worth.

Just watched that DVD. It won't be loaded into the player again:mad: IMHO Ash did a fantastic job ignoring the LR rubbishing, so did the Jeep owner ignoring the jibes about Jeeps. That is the last time I buy a copy.

I am all for ANY make of vehiclejoining our trips and really enjoy trips with a mix of vehicle types, and to date haven't had any problems. I am really glad I didn't make a huge effort to enter that comp, Ash went well but hats of to him for his patience.
Dissappointed,

Thats all I have to say.

[Chucaro]

Gosh! is that bad :eek:
I am glad that do not read that magazine at all :)
