Thread: Times like these I am ashamed to be called a 4wd'er

I die a little inside whenever I see the local Hilux King.
Giant wrangler stickers, 2 massive aerials, two bits of poly pipe because lets face it, 4 aerials would just be ridiculous, twin giant truck stack exhausts, more lights than a brothel at christmas time, and various witty stickers such as "She'll buff" or "Bogan boys".
But I have a little laugh when he stalls it at the lights.

And just why would you be checking out the Brothels Muppet?

I'm not.
I just figured they've got sleazy lighting at the best of times, why should the holiday season detract from that?
Tis the season to be jolly after all

There,, all fixed for you

But it still doesn't mean Pat can steal railway pins
As isuzutoo states with the old mine in Tassie,, its sad when people destroy our heritage We'll have nothing to go and look at if people keep up this behaviour.

I cant be all high and mighty about this one though...
We did take about 8 spikes from the old Ghan line about 8 years ago, from a washed out section of the old line... middle of a mates property....
But we used them to make a cracker hat/coat rack for a hospital
day room... so we justified that to ourselves that way...

(Basically had about 2 1/2" wide (depth) jarrah sleeper 'slab' about 6' long and 5-6" high, installed dog spikes as hangers, (filed a few rough points but most OK) and varnished the lot! Looked schmick!)

I did the same thing, it was either that or run over them.

He wasn't.

He was really checking out the lifted Hi-lux, secretly wishing that it was his.

It is the actions of others that tar us all, and that get laws changed for the worse...

Is he responsible. No I would suggest neither responsible nor accountable (sorry day job mode lol) in this case - no downside for him, and it is not until the kids and grandkids grow up that his actions will cause issues for us all.
