3. It was done by AAMI

4. Written by "staff writers" which means, they ripped it off from somewhere else, they printed it word for word from AAMI or no one is game to put their name to it.

We should do an Australian wide survey of 4176 Aulro members and "press release" that :2up::tease:

Well said I think we do one now it should go like this

4176 Aulro members where surveyed and 100% of them said wake up and smell the coffee we all dont drive military spec hummers

Aulro members also come up with the conclusion that 4wd owners dont do donuts line locker and genral burn out and that cars that are capable of this should wear an extra tax

all boy racer and V8 super car wana be's should all be banned of the road and squashed by metal compacter and no componsation to the owner :eek2::angel:

Ahh yes I did, but not relevant to the message in the ad, which is saying it is ok to be really nasty to anyone who drives any kind of 4x4.

Boy, it really spoils the fun when you have to explain the joke :huh:

They should do a survey up here in the NT, where having a fourbie is practically mandatory - especially if you live outside of Darwin.

They're into all that anti-four-wheel-drive crap in the UK. Don't need it here, thank you.

Well he drives a Cruiser, how else do you want them to treat him?

I say ban the 4wd's from cities and whilst your at it ban the road taxes on 4wd's at the same time considering the drivers would no longer be able to use 95% of the states roads due to them being based in the city.

They also need to redefine a City at the same time considering Parramatta is now classified as the centre of Sydney due to the increase in size compared to 20 years ago.

Will this happen? F no

From what friends who live in the UK suggest, you can get to just about every likely destination by public transport. And if a bus can get there, you dont need a 4wd.

Here is different. There are much larger properties, larger distances, and waay more roads to remain full of holes.

If you go back to the original link, click on it again, them read the "Comments".

Very interesting :D

I saw that last night and was going to post a comment but figured that I would be just fuelling Newscorp's desire to generate publicity and more sales.

That's true of the major cities, but not of the countryside - small country or not, a 4x4 is just as essential there for some. The backlash there is mainly against all the "Chelsea tractors" - stereotyping rich people in X5's and Range Rovers who use them to drop the kids off at school and who never go off-road. Unfortunately, the genuine owners with a real need got tarred with the same brush by the media.
