4WD Action mag.....look at all the AULROians!!

I find ,if a thread at the 4 WD Action site is not what the Mods want or is honest, but may not be politically correct to the mag or a sponsor ,then the thread is pulled and one mod is a complete ####head.
I have a few different brands of 4wd kicking about the place, even so I find myself kicking around the Auldro site as there is little commercialism and politics and just good 4bys nuts like my self.

Congrats to all:D

CHEERS TIM.

That incident was a couple of years ago now. I was a regular reader of their mag before that.
Things probably have changed since then.
I don't mind the freindly brabd ribbing as log as it doesn't get out of hand.

No - things haven't changed that much George.

There's some great people on that forum, but unfortunately, a disproportionate amount of complete ******* as well, including one mod already referred to in this thread.
Unfortunately, the management of the mag seems to have deteriorated somewhat, to the point that the mag seems now to be aimed more at those I would class as the ******* in the 4WD community. There's definitely not a lot of technical credibility in their magazine articles any more.

And, I'm loathe to admit it now - I used to be a bit of a fan of Roothy in the DVD's - but not any more after some of his recent offerings.

I've just bought my copy of the mag. You must have really good eyesight or you have a different issue to me as I can hardly see my car in the pics :(.

If I squint & poke my tongue out to the left, I think I can make out my RR ;).

I'm a fan of Roothy, he got character!

The tech info may be difficult sometimes with the custom trucks as it is all supplied by the owner, and I'd bet that there are a lot of modified trucks ou there which have owners that don't really know what/how/why things have been done or the specifics or anything. I'm always fascinated by the custom jobbies where people have broken the ARB/TJM etc mold and gotten gritty fabricating their own bits to make it do what they want it to do.

I also don't support slagging off forums on other forums. Dirty washing should stay at home.

If this is in reference to my posts then I told them so back at the time. I also do not appologise or take it back.

I laughed at that challenge.

No, generally speaking. I've seen it a fair bit on here and other forums. The last time I recall it happening here was a few months ago when there was a barney between AULRO and I think it was some UK forum.
