    4WD Cliches

    Thought this would make an interesting topic: 4WD Cliches.

    Who has any to share, and who will step up to the plate and admit to being guilty of any :?:

    For me the #1 cliche is the chromed MACK Bulldog affixed to either bonnet or bullbar :!:

    That's so when they break down they're more likely to get a tow from a passing LandRover.

    Ever driven a series Rover they laugh at you

    I stopped to help extract school Mum in mitsubit****ti that would not go into gear and was asked "you are not going to tow me with THAT are you..?" 8O with a stright face and a slight look distaste on her face

    So I phoned a tow truck for her and just about wet myself laughing when the towie said "you should have got the guy with the landrover to tow you out" [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

    footnote, this was at a kid's sports event with parking in a grass feild, in the middle of winter. Turns out nobody had tried to but the thing into 4x4 before and it did not work

    8) vlad,meboyo,
    you reminded me of my dads fairlane many years ago, i fitted a mack bulldog to the bonnet,
    he used to swear that the dog would fold his front paws over his eyes when the ford got over one hundred miles per hour!
    later on i grafted the fairlanes roo bar to my xw ute, and the dog, but i chained him to the bar, so he felt safe at 100mph, and didn't cover his eyes,
    now he sleeps in a drawer, might have to give him a run on the disco, he probably needs a walk by now, havn't had the xw since '73, so macky boy is probably a bit tired of the kennel!!!!!!!!
    and i just didnt want him to **** on my new p76 !

    Have seen those bulldogs for sale with small red LED's in the eyes, just for something differant.
    There are two types of people in this world, good and bad. The good sleep better, but the bad seem to enjoy the waking hours

    Cliche #2: Anagrams / Different words made from "R A N G E R O V E R" on the bonnet of a Rangie. (as discussed in the funny badges thread).

    Saw a not-too-pretty-or-bright blonde shiela trying to back a MitsuTritonThingy 4WD out of a rough gravel car park. Back wheels spinning madly and making a lot of dust.

    "Try four-wheel-drive..." I said as I went past. Second lap around the block saw woman still in the same situation but three burly blokes at the front pushing and dust and dirt still flying from the spinning back wheels....

    Oh well..... I went back to minding my own business....


    Speaking of funny badges. A mate of mine, when I was in the Navy in Cairns, had bought a S-II ute to "do up". Badge on the grille was cleverly altered to read "HANG-OVER". [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

    Then there is the ToyoThingy100Series I sometimes see barrelling along the M1. It is a white one with 20" alloys and super low profile high performance tyres....

    It goes without saying there is never any sign of dirt on this thing.... 8)
