trucks

truckster with no truck I dont know why I bother to reply to you

Truckster, I'm assuming you're a truckie other than the patrol...I don't call my cruiser a truck for f*cks sake as you would understand because its a 4x4. My mate has an "american F20 Jeep"truck" ...I'd call it a pickup or pickup truck if your a yank but couldn't get across a weekend warrior gully if he paid for it to. It must be a dominant thing in the eastern states because if anyone here called their landy, or patrol a truck I'd hit them on the balls with a stick...apart from the rich farmers that buy the f250s etc which are trucks...fukin useless for offroading...haha good for dusty fields and showing off in town. I'm only talking about the yank tanks and will keep drinking.

most of us just joined in for the hell of it. I have no real opinion either way and your opinion is as always, most welcome

Yes... you gave an opinion.. and you are entitled to it. Just like you are entitled to refer to your 4X4 as anything you want to!! And so am I... and everyone else... and you "simply said that it annoys me"... but your post implied (to me anyway) "Everybody stop calling 'em trucks 'cos I said so!!!"....

But to be honest.... I thought it generated some of the funniest posts I have read on this forum for ages.... had us in stitches of laughter, and THAT can only be a good thing!

Good on ya TrucksterNT

TrucksterNT, don't worry about it any, it's the off subject posts that get the creative juices running with most of the forumites here, and you provided a wonderful distraction from the daily things of life with your post, well Done!

I admit to being "the one". It was I that started the underground movment known today, Australia wide, as... Truckies Recreational Unified Co-op, or T.R.U.C for short. And yes, I drive this cause whenever the opportunity presents. I am a TRUC driver, and damn proud of it.

Truckies come from all walks of life, and this is reflected no more than in the diversity of the "trucks" they drive. Sam and his "Subie", Terry and his "Tojo", Larry and his "Landie", Crusty and his "Cruiser". All fair dinkum little truckers.

However, there are some, a shallow few, that flit through the shadows, disseminating half truths and bathing in self-rightousness as they spread their twisted gospel. They scoff at the little trucker!! That would challenge the very concept and freedom for us to drive "little trucks".

But there is a voice, you can heard. As a member of T.R.U.C we speak on your behalf. No longer talking in whispered tones, or cringing in fear when at your next barby the missus says " we had a nice Falcon and then he went and bought this bloody truck!" The tide will turn.

Anyone wishing to join T.R.U.C we will be meeting, in secret, at an un-disclosed time and place. All welcome. (balaclavas opitional).

Miker.

This is my current "truck" but when I was a real trucker I drove flat tops or prime movers towing bogies, tri's or wide spreads but alas never a B double. Never had a problem trouble with people driving 'Tonkas" and especially in a forum.

Fishin was good with that "truck" comment Truckster.
Here's one for you, I call my Troopy a truck cause on the compliance plate it's called a "bus", buggered if I'll go round saying me bus. LOL :>)
Keep em comin.

TrucksterNT
your opinion, I call our suzuki a truck, the hilux a truck and our patrol a truck, really couldnt care who called what what.
By the the way a few people have asked, What rig (truck) are you driving
Foxer

I drive a Navara with a canopy and call it the "van" Hope nobody has a problem with that.

Well that was fun....NEXT!!

I call My Jackeroo the 'maroon monster' my 3 year old grandson calls it "Pa's fruck" very confusing.. i thought he was talking about his grandmother....

I can handle someone calling their vehicle a truck but what about ..SUV or Recreational Vehicle.
