    absolutely, they would not agree that my td5 D2 has a smaller footprint than a commodore...its a bloody great smelly , diesel powered 4wd, that tears up forest trails.
    I must admit the cartoonist got his bartreads in the right direction.....

    The Greens Senator is not quite as depicted by Manet:

    Mick, that is why I did not put up a copy of the original

    She'll probably complain - they probably have a way out policy on censorship anyway.

    Back to alien's question - yes, we are stereotyped (like grey nomads, shooters, horse riders, skateboarders, etc, etc)

    I'm fairly confident the only sector of society that isnt stereotyped by the media, is the media.

    Its the same with trailbike riders. The media think we ALL ride unregistered and unliscensed overly loud bikes.You only hear of the bad stuff and none of the good. The public don't care that clubs go out and cleanup the tracks. It only takes the actions of a few to ruin it for everyone.
    All tared with the same brush I'm afraid.

    Cheers
    Todd
