They're all jumping on the anti 4wd bandwagon.

**charliebrisbane** · 18th April 2006, 08:29 PM

At the very start of channel sevens All Saints this evening, (which my wife watches), a woman is brought in and it is explained that she was hit by a speeding 4wd. The Doctor then remarks "who the bloody hell needs a 4WD in the city anyway!"

This is blatant 4wd bashing with no basis in reality if the person was hit by a speeding van or sedan they would be in the same shape. God forbid they got hit by a speeding truck. The question isn't really whoe needs a 4wd in the city it's who wants one. It is all of our right own one and it is all of our responsibility to drive them responsibly considering their differing attributes compared to smaller (and larger) passenger vehicles.

This 4wd bashing bullsh!t is going too far. No wonder I dont watch soapy crap on TV. Soon we will not be able to fart in public because it might kill someone. (Knowing my diet it just might some day). The point is though 4wd owners have become known as redneck, roadhog, pr!cks who kill good honest citizens. Surely it's time for this crap to settle down and common sese prevail.

Rant over.

also heard of the call to ban fourbys from beaches after toddler run down on noosa beach ,now if the law states that the same road rules apply to beach driving,what was that kid doing playing on the highway?
food for thought

(please note,no disparagement intended for the parents of said child)

Just saw the same show here in Sydney but
at 9.15 Thought the same as you. Their realy
pushing the subniminal message.

PS. Is Brisbane on daylight saving time ?

i just went on to sevens website and you can't put in a formal complaint by email.
in fact unless you want to tell them how much you like their website, you can't send an email at all.
i sent a whinge into their "good on you " email address, that should **** them off.

was my computer that was on daylight
saving time . All fixed now.

We are never on daylight saving time :roll:

Yeh up here in the soon to be civilzed state too many of us thought that the whole idea of an extra hour of daylight would fade our curtains further. I personally would like the extra hour of daylight it would help our solar panels store more electicityin our bateries while we wait for state power to be available to our homes. :wink: Oh how I wish we had modern sewers in our little country town.

Write to The Australian Broadcasting Authority.
They have to investigate every complaint.
I had a call back from the Professor in charge of it!!! ( so maybe they are looking for something to do)

first time i ever watched this piece of tv, obviously harold scruby is a scriptwriter, but i liked the hidden message.

who really needs a 4wd (inferred as in big bulky thing, like a Touareg or an ML or an X5) in the city? (LOL)

I was in Sydney a while back having come from far away and my Disco hadn't had a wash in ages, and there was this bloke trying to race me, in heavy traffic, in a bloody Cayenne, (btw it was very shiny).

get over it pal and go off road or give it away.

climbed over Boundary ck on Sun in high range! cool! (earlier, the local copper bogged his patrol).
