Image is everything?

[XTC]

That is sooo funny! But it's true.... these guys in oversized 4x4s.... do they really use it off road?? Most of them don't, so it really is an image and by the sounds of it, the guy you described is just trying too hard to be cool..... too much monies...... should send some to KB for our server upkeep!!!!

I don't own a large 4x4 but I don't think people who do deserve to be ridiculed for having chosen the type of vehicle they desire... After all we chose motorcycles. I think that most guys with big bikes capable of close to 300kmph raely use this capability either and the same could be said about them???

True - But the motorcycles aren't chewing up non renewable resources and spitting out pollution at the same rate. Nor are they likely to drift across your side of the road because the mum driving it's vague-ass steering home from school is texting.

Well, there may not be so big a gap between some sports bikes and some 4WDs. And by no means all 4WDs are driven by Mums, or incompetantly.

However, there is grounds for suspecting that some (not all) 4WD drivers are not entirely competant at driving this class of vehicle. After all, it is a bit silly that someone can pass their restricted cage test in a Toyota Echo, then jump straight into a Ford Explorer.

Which brings it all round again to the idea of a graduated licence for cages.

To qualify then, I have no probs with big 4wd's if they serve a purpose, tow a boat, go bush, whatever. 4 tons of mum's taxi that doesn't leave 'Remmers' is wrong. There are better, safer vehicles without the waste.

I still think everyone should have the right to buy and drive whatever they want Even a large sportsbike that gets 2000k's from a rear tyre
Or Ashton Kutchers International truck

They can mate - it's the wonderful thing about living in this free country. *I* just don't like the things. I don't have a car for the same reasons.

This is my best mate back in NSW.

He's 5'4" on a good day - he won Bathurst 3 times, the Castrol 6 hour 3 times (mainly class - but a few outrights as well) and the Yamaha 250 World/Gold Cup and rides bigger than anyone i know. I've also seen him smoke sportsbikes on that sporty.

No probleeeem at all mate.

A few months ago I was driving home in my Pajero and pulled up at some lights next to one of my customers in his 4x4,,we exchanged greetings by showing each other various digits of our hands - then he holds up his left hand,palm open...and in his hand is a pistol!....you just never know what those 4x4 guys are doing!

Pistol ? I thought you said penis...
