    Can't help a good stir

    4wd Monthly has that Journalist John Rooth who thinks he is Ned Kelly incarnate, drives a green old Tojo which has been rebuilt by every man and his dog who wants free publicity, Have a look at the stickers on the rear bumper

    one is the southern cross flag (BLF icon) and the other is
    "Convict Blood and proud of it"

    I couldn't help myself to send in an email to "Roothy" asking him what the diggers at Kokoda would think of that Convict blood being chauffeured around in a Jap car... Need a few more needles to get a reply..lol
    Maybe suggest he chop it in for a HQ WGN with a 4wd Modification
    Wasnt he a Motorcycle Journo? for Two Wheels

    Anyway he seems to have a sense of humor..try to put it to the test

    Yes, as Rooth and as John West. He also writes in a caravan magazine. He's a freelance journo.

    He was the editor - he may still be. I think he was also editor of Two Wheels at one time.

    Cool

    His truck is an old dark green leaf sprung Toyo, 40 Series or something, with most of the rust cut out. He takes every opportunity to knock Landrovers in print, but I reckon he only drives the old Cruiser because Toyota sponsor the magazine he works for, and he's really a frustrated Landy owner. He should 'come out' and admit, a Landy is a far superior vehicle in every respect, but he knows he'll loose his job.

    I try and limit my use of Jap products where possible, guess I should get a Perkins!.
