yet more 4WD bashing !!

And the media are dumb enough to give him air space............

Just imagine if ALL the Vehicle manufacturers pulled their advertising dollars............

Wouldn't have much of a newspaper would we..........

It's up to the manufacturers & suppliers to fight this one, not us. The 4 x 4 manufacturers have way more to lose than us, and yet we don't see them fighting back. This tells me that they aren't worried, and sales will continue to boom, and all we be good.

At the end of the day, it's pure dollars. Look at smokes, alcohol, etc. All bad things, but the government still rake it in. Same with 4 x 4's.

So, In my opinion, you can rest easy, safe in the knowledge that we are a money first society, and while there's money to be made from 4 x 4's, we'll still have them. After all, the government is going to find it hard to impose a pedestrian walking tax..............

I'm thinking this squeaky door will soon run out of oil, and get it slammed shut, permanently.

I still like Mercedes Benz........... 'cause they got a pedestrian gun sight on the bonnet!!

The article titled 'Big mothers' is the most biased piece of reporting I have seen in a long time.

Not sure what the author has against us considering his background:-

Keep an eye on it!!

Political Correctness was scoffed at in the '70s now listen to it all - "you can't say that!!!!!"

Today Australians have some 4028 life restriction rules - there was only 104 in 1972 according to the records of Australian Living Standard

It only takes a small niggle and a continuing push from any minority to put the majority at heel.

Scruby will keep shouting and eventually enough will listen and up comes number 4029.

The only answer here is to yell back - LOUDER

What a fantastic piece of biased reporting,the heading said"Why the world is divided into 4wdrivers and those that hate them".
Yet there was not one word explaining just why one in five vehicles sold are 4wdrives.
All you get is the old child killing,roll over,bushbashing,fuel guzzling crap.
I agree with a previous post,why does not land rover for example advertise its fantastic economy,safety cell,air bags etc to counter this now general opinion of the public.
If all the manufacturers followed this line, rather than showing the trucks tearing along beaches etc public perception could be changed.
Also its up to us,yesterday at the back of Healesville in aptly named River st,the road was flooded to the depth of about half a metre.
an old lady stopped at the edge of the water trying to decide what to do,A Nissan tray (Grey GU at 10 am)roared up behind her ,swung past and shot across the flood zone completely drowning her car,including the interior as her window was open.
Now who is she going to believe when she or her relatives read the age,what is she going to tell her friends?
What do the other car drivers think who witnessed this stupidity?
My advice to that 4wdriver is-if you are that frustrated that you cannot get any real 4wdrive action,join a club,get trained, and do it right!
And to the rest of us remember that our on road behaviour is just as important as our Bush manners.

isnt that bits from the last 5-6 articles thrown together.

Again, I shall say it - if they throw enough shi+ it will eventually stick.

It is not just us though Rob,

Mr Scruby said these decisions put motor-vehicle manufacturers and advertisers on notice that the Pedestrian Council would complain about any advertisement which breached the ABS code.

"Why are they releasing these vehicles on our roads when the motorway speed limit is 110km/h?"

He called for speed-governing of vehicles and for speedos to be limited to showing 130km/h.
