Thread: DON'T LOCK AUSTRALIA UP

Can I support the cause without supporting Roothy?

Hahaha, i hope so, i would do the same, i don't even buy the magazines only look at what goes on facebook, maybe we should get our own stickers made, how about we make a website link 'onelifeliveit.com.au' or something haha (then i can get some lower door stickers like the Camel trophy cars), then we can raise awareness without filling their pockets, only reason i'm interested is to keep the tracks open.

what's wrong with roothy? he's a champ

You only have to look at their DVD's to see why the bureaucrats and greenies want to lock up the country.

We're the poor buggers suffering because of their meat-headed environmental vandalism.

soap box here we come

I think if you want to support the cause you should put your money with what Roothy's got going. It's better to pool the funds and effort in one large group then many small groups. You may not like Roothy but how about you get over yourselves and look at the big picture.

The problem is extreme imbecile 4wders, and 4WDAction seems to attract them like flies to ****.

A major part of the problem is, in my view, that track damage & vandalism caused by imbecile(s) is usually only seen well after they are gone .... the perps are immature idiots but how does one counter that ?

hmm..... the bigger the wheels ...

I did see one $WD Action video that had been apparently included with a magazine.

It featured one of their (staff?) wombats thundering through relatively pristine sandy/swampy country south of Pemberton. I think it would take years for the wet areas of that track to recover from the damage caused by the "presenter" and his mates churning/blasting & snatching their way through an largely unspoilt locality with generally forgotten tracks.

In my view it is the publishers and writers of 4WD Action itself who are to blame for that example ...

.... and now Roothy wants to take action ?

Note to 4WD Action - show us some responsible 4wd action by cleaning up the attitudes of your own staff & writers - then we'll take notice of what you publish

Without sending it to the soapbox but what a load of bollox. How many DVD's have you watched and what sort of off roading do you do? I have been watching the DVD's...every single one of them...since the day they started and there is nothing in their that I would consider "meat headed vandalism".

Also there is nothing in there that I havent done in terms of offroading as an individual, as part of a club or as part of the current group I am in. As for this comment...

facts and figures please? Or again is this just an off the cuff opinion with little to no substance? The biggest nutjobs I have ever come across on any forum....has been on this forum. That does not mean that this forum is full of nut jobs. Generalised, sweeping statements like that...alll they do is give more creedance to the folk who want to mess with our freedoms.

The ridiculous thing is that regardless of forum/ magazine/ make of vehicle...we all enjoy the same bloody thing FFS.......that is getting off road, to places the average joe can' go...some like to challenge their vehicles and modify them....others like to cruise it. What ever your poison...we drive 4WD's FFS.

Statistically we probably have just as many so called "bell ends" as 4WDA/ Toyota owners/ Patrol owners etc....its more a case there is a lot more folk who drive other makes than anything else. First and foremost I am a 4WDer......then a Landy owner...as I have said before...if LR's weren't invented...Id be driving something else.

If you don't go 4WDing/ camping/ getting dirty/ get a bit of a woody tackling a rutted hill or getting through a muddy boghole, tackling the great outdoors whether desert/forest or touring unique spots.....YOU AINT A 4WDer.........blabbing on here about your landy but never going anywhere.....well what a joke. Things like this deserve our support not pre teen bitching,
