you have all probably no doubt seen all teh bad press re 4WD owners........
Well they are now branding ute owners as hoons. A TV program down here in SA recently had a segment on Utes, you know the ones with bug mud flaps, aerials and usually a Burbon
sign somewhere. The poly on the tele stated that anyone in a ute is usually driving with a meat pie in one hand and a coke in the other..........funny how you can brand an entire
population of people by one or two bad experiences.
I feel sorry for the ute owners......although it may take a little heat of 4WD owners for a while.

it is very easy to brand a certain niche of the
population. Geez, i have done it before... xmas just gone... bloody hilux drivers on fraser island (no offence intended to hilux drivers) but 80% of the 'luxs "we saw" on fraser were driven by 'the hoon type' (ie... their vb bommodore with a fully sic 202 is in the shed at
home). wow, look at that, now its commodore drivers...
agreed tho, it will keep the heat off the 4b owners for a while... albiet a short while!
I guess, we keep to ourselves, enjoy parts of the country that the greater
population cant, do our little bit to ensure we dont lose access to the
places we love, leave the hoons stuck where they were for acts of stupidity & last of all, pray that nissan's next model patrol isnt released with IFS.

Hahah Tom you made me smile!
Been awhile since a VB dunnydore with 202 was ever thought of as 'fully sic'!!
Now its a VY with 20" rims and no
suspension thats fully sic!!
All the best! Matt..

Toytruck, was it one of the commercial stations, 7, 9 or 10? They tend to make generalisations like that just to get a reaction to boost ratings.
I had the tv on 10 today for some reason when they had Bob Brown and the environment minister on talking about climate change. EVERYTHING those two said was argued against by some random third bloke on the show who I've never seen before.
It is common for these low-life shows to have someone on for the one and only reason to stir up controversy.
