a 4wd is born just died

Eric,
I hear you mate. Thank god the Poms didnt use the same engineer to build the Spitfire WW2 Masterpiece. Glad that one worked as well as it did. Guess some people just have nothing better to do with their time ay.

Angelo.

Okay, here's where it got really exciting for a minute.....

I don't have pay TV, so I am not aware of the shows that air.

I have just been woken up, from an afternoon nap, and I'm sitting here reading this, whilst eating my tea, without wearing my glasses. Remember the part of not wearing glasses....

"Mind you this is a porn show......"

Well, I'm like reading, eating, and waking up REAL quick like, waiting to see what's gonna happen in this steamy 4wd story, and, like nuthin's happenin'.....

Oh, now I see ................ pom................

Life is sort of exciting when you cant see properly sometimes...............

Yeah, I know, I never had enough toys when I was a kid...........

A 4WD is bourn this wouldn’t be a follow on from another pommy show, A car is bourn would it?

Now a British show about 4Wding sorry to say you were just setting you self up for disappointment

Being of Pommie extraction myself, I often wonder how on earth the last days of the British Empire were built on the back of the Landrover. I was a mechanic on LRs about 30 years ago. They were "HOS". It was only when I came to "Oz" in 1974 that I knew what a real 4WD looked like.

I've often regarded my childhood in England as an accident of birth.

I also read recently that after a comprehensive survey, there is no spot in Engalnd that is further than 3 kms from a bitumen road!!

Ya gotta love those Poms ain't ya!!

Bilbo.

I can't wait for the Dutch version of 4Wding then (if you've ever been to the Netherlads you know what I mean) LMAO. S'pose lots of mud would be good, but the country is flat as a pancake and 6' below sea level (except for a small area in the S/E of the country)

was that the dude building up the landy stripped right down to chassis and new body etc??

Caught the show a week or so ago.
Take this 4wd to a paddock, i.e. at least a 100 metres from a decent dirt road and get it stuck in the mud. Not even up the axles as far as I could see. His mate got bogged trying to pull him out, so they had to walk to the local farm (2 to 3k?) to borrow a tractor!
These blokes wouldn't have a hope knowing what to do 100k plus from no where stuck in a dry creek crossing or on a sand dune.

And yes, I was england born, but have the paper to prove I am now aussie.
Visited my cousin on a farm and had a laugh telling some of the trips we do.
At least he is a pom with a sense of humour.

Hmmm,

I have the DVD of the series. I thought it was quite well done, although the guy is a bit of a tosser. What they end up with is a pretty good hybrid vehicle which lots of people in the UK have done in the past, awesome off road in the right hands but these guys are not experienced in that regard so their antics with the finished vehicle (which amount to about 5 minutes of the whole series) are really irrelevant.

Funny how ignorant Aussie tossers think that there's no good off roading to be had in the UK. It's actually quite a popular hobby and they do some extreme stuff but it mostly has to take place on private land as most of the public access unsealed roads are being restricted.

Anyway, the main point of my post is that I find the term 'pom' racially offensive and would appreciate it if people stopped using it.
