4WD for beginners

Sure Steve but the point I'm trying to make is that some of the questions asked are so general that it's very difficult to narrow down the info required. For example if somone calls up asking, 'are the new Mitsubishi Pajeros any good?, what can you say that's really unbiased and informative. However if they ask(after looking at the Pajero forum) ' how bad is the DPF problem that people are experiencing' then they're likely to get a more sensible answer (from people who actually own one)
All I'm saying is that there are some people in this forum who have amazingly detailed knowledge on multiple subjects and if they're asked a 'specific' question, they can give extremely informative answers (and they've done this for me)

Sorry Steve, that response might have been a bit terse but I must have a problem with some 'questions'. The first 4WD drive I got was a Lada and despite all its faults it was built like a brick chit house and would go anywhere. I was out on the Birdsville track and some TFI said to me "'Did you get here in that?." EXCUSE ME.
No, I rented it from a depot just in behind them thar hills.

I give up???What is the T in TFI stand for??(Ive led a very sheltered life)

Total F Idiot. Even to this day I still can't get over the question this wacker asked.

Wigger,

Not everyone is as intelligent as you it seems mate :)

I think I better watch what I ask in here in the future for fear of being ridiculed by you.

Lighten up old son and if someone wants to ask a question, let them...you don't have to reply...or even read it if you don't want to, that is why we live in a free society mate.

LOL it's all good Wigger/Twintrail. All just having a bit of fun :)))

Well I've got a confession to make. That was actually me(Twintrail W A) using my psuedonym. I tried to sound a bit dumb so you wouldn't twig it was me.

Well u get the prize for the dumbest post of all
You must have the jitters as well tonite LOL

No, Graham , didn't have the jitters. Its all part of the joke. Was in my Twintrail persona so had to push the button twice to be true to type.

Well I,Well I, Aaaaaah,Aaaah, I think I've been sprung.

You've got a good memory Borgy. Hope your not like that with your wife and bring up stuff thats months old in order to claim final victory.

G'day Wigger

My wife is sitting here along side me at the moment.....Her reply to you ..."Yes Wigger , he's a typical Male , always thinks he's right ,when really i know he's f*$#in wrong".....

Thats her words mate ...but really us males know ...dont we ??...hahahaha

Cheers .....Dave

Dave , Just hope the real Twintrail is not watching tonight, otherwise I could be in deep do dahs if he's a homicidal maniac with a deep seated persecution complex combined with raging paranoia. If you never hear from me again, you'll be able to point the cops in the right direction

No probs mate , go and have another pill,or maybe 3 ...you'll be right

Cheers.......Dave
