    I wrote in to 4WD monthly many many years ago when I first got Gus. I submitted a photo to their "readers rides" (or whatever it is called) section.

    Roothy picked me as the winner because he got all nostalgic about young blokes and Landies. Apparently it was how he got into 4WDs. I won a small compressor, but at the time (I was about 15 and a 4WDM subscriber of many years) the biggest prize was getting a phone call from Roothy!

    I was so excited it wasn't funny!

    Interesting some of the opinions that have formed with this 4WD Action lot in general. I to used to think they were a bunch of biased bashers. But really, its all about marketing and sponsors at a given level of readers. The majority would be?
    I think we may find all of them a bit different in real life somehow.

    I'm lucky as drive Landys and Toyota's of similar vintage here so can form my own unbiased opinion
    Lets say one does some things better than the other and the other does some things better than one

    I don't think the 4WD Action writers are anti-LR per se. A number of them have owned/do own LR products.

    My main complaint about the mag is the writing style.

    I agree wholeheartedly Ron, but instead of complaining or getting my face in a twist, I save ten bucks a month.

    Same here. I didn't renew my sub after it expired a few years back.

    Same with me.

    Then some nice member of our family gave me a years subscription I don't mind it at all now. Just have to filter it out a bit thats all
    They have shown interest in my 120" and only reason its gone no further is me at this stage.
