    I'd send you boys some tissues....but my last major lot went down to Mick/Fusion . From where I sit, it boils down to expectations...I enjoy the dvd's......from a value perspective....a mag and dvd is bloody good value. Of course there is going to be advertising....thats a given.....how else is any magazine going to get off the ground. Roothy is always giving a nudge to landies....does it wear a bit thin at times...for sure. Does LR as a company help to change that perception...not really.

    The D3 has come out and won awards all over the place and proven itself. Whereas I wouldnt touch a new Defender ( or that lamo name "Puma") with a 10 ft pole until its myriad of issues are sorted out. The average 4WD punter knows how well our beasts go off road...but also know it has a history in the past of unreliability...part of no doubt is urban myth created over time.

    On previous dvd's where they show a specific vehicle....then you get to find out all the mechancial/ technical aspects. To expect that knowledge from that "shoot out" I think is expecting to much. Besides if you want to know that info....PM Ash . Ultimately, I love anything 4WD/ Camping/ Great Outdoors.......if LR's weren't around....I'd be driving something else,

    Regards

    Stevo

    Had a look at the DVD today I was a bit of a send up as mentioned but what else do we expect from this lot. Was good entertainment....
    Did Ash put that sticker on Milo before he left? Looks like Roothy may have edited it with a pocket knife

    Well done Ash if you see this post, the Rangie did well.

    The voice over was totally lame, made me laugh actually.

    The Rangie was all over the other two, never lost grib well almost never, the logs made him slip but probably due to the mud the others left.

    My only gripe would be the Isuzu rumbling away, not a fan of them but did a great job.

    Very nice rig indeed.

    I watched it the other night - pure entertainment. And if you let the constant landy jokes get up your nose, you need to thicken your skin or stop watching them. It's pure entertainment. I find Roothy entertaining. Everything's said and done with tongue firmly planted in cheek, and I reckon Boxer will back me up on that. Well done Ash by the way.

    As for the ads, I didn't think it was too bad, compared to the Fraser Island dvd a couple of years ago...that's when I stopped buying the mag...

    Not a bad bit of entertainment I'd have to say.
    Good to see the old Tojo struggling against the other two vehicles.
    I reckon if it wasn't for the brand recognition that Milo has, he'd be getting rid of her. Every month something's breaking. Although, I think that it's good to show how to get yourself out of trouble in the real world. No matter what you think of it, it is displaying inginuity and lateral thinking to solve a problem.
    I saw him plug a TC hole with a bit of wood and some epoxy once, the difference between driving home and being towed.

    I reckon I'd pass on most of his cooking though
