Thread: Slanging match, How to upset others. The real guide

Should've been here when a 4wd touring club ripped up Alstonville over Easter, none were driving Land Rover products, all had an encounter with the 'law'...

lots of dudes removing big spotties from the roof racks, for fear of defect notices, the local 'boys in blue' also measured height.... some lift jobs are just a little bit tooo much it seems, when much sunshine can be seen asunder the springs

a day later several still managed to bog solid on our south beach;

tyres, lift kits and attitude not withstanding....

but a nice lightweight disco 1 will go anywhere

suckers.......

Goodonya, pity we cant identify all the bogans that do that sort of stuff and name n shame them.
I spend 10-12 hours a day on the road and come across that sort of stuff most days. Would be great if they took your approach and worked out how much they are actually achieving by driving like that and whether the potential loss of life is worth it.

Reminds me of the piece Jeremy Clarkson did with a new RR, a Cherokee, his own 100 Series, etc - and a Series 2 Landie (not Disco).

The Series drove around the stopped-in-the mud Cherokee etc.

Clarkie,

Just read your other forum post. I think I'm right in saying you wasted your breath (or is that typing) on telling them what for.

I live in a remote town where everyone knows who drives what and yet there are still idiots who think... I drive the only purple SWB MQ Patrol with a light bar, 36" JT's, body lift and personalised plates so nobody will know its me destroying the bush tracks and clowing around! Stupidity can't be bought and is usually not prepared to listen either

You are also right about the speeding. Its just not worth it and you really get no further. How many times do you see someone overtake only to get stuck behind the line of cars in front of you!

"I drive an 80 who needs mods?"


I think that about sums things up.

There's a 'club' that gets together, fortnightly, at a local hall in Alstonville.

All run big Jap rigs, about twenty big trucks at a gathering on the tarmac.

They seem to be a classic case of keeping up with the Joneses, bigger lifts, more lights, more aerials, bigger bars and roof racks, bigger tyres.

No wonder in a small locale, we have so many 'offroad' supply businesses, dedicated to overloading shabby jap crap with unnecessary 'accessories', so important to deliver kids to school...

laser cut print stickers seem to be the current 'go'

on the back window of one: '**** off jack, jim lives here'
another: 'bush pig' (and a female drives that one, and a good foot high lift, too, on a 90 patrol lwb)
more: 'keeping the dream alive'... no doubt a reference to John Laws/yota


see that mob and laugh, truly amazing.... john chapman was right, when he setup ome a generation ago - i should've believed him and taken a franchise... cant beat a 100% markup!

Sounds like a bunch of red neck Wa#%^Rs to me mate if its one thing that will stuff it for all of us it will be idiots like that not respecting themselves or any one else for that matter

clarkie,

not knowing that guy i presume he is a bit of a dumba$$... to identify himself as the offender .

They sound like red necks. Unfortunately its something that is a bit of a common occurance in the bush a bit like there trail of bundy (cats pi$$)cans ...
