Hi Folks, my wife has been away swanning it up in the Hunter Valley doing her best to empty a few cellars down there and I have been doing the Mr Mom thing dropping my son at school and picking him up every afternoon and have been looking at all the "trucks" parked out the front of the school.

Yesterday, I was in a line of 4b's that consisted of a Jeep Grand, a Prado (new shape), my GU then 2 Crusiers (100 series) and another 80 series. I could not help laugh as I saw all these shiny new (apart from the 80 and my GU) 4wd's picking up kids from school, none of them looked ready for a dirt road let alone Landcruiser Park, and there in the middle was my insect covered screen with more aerials than NASA control centre and even more dirt/mud than paint surface showing sadly looking and trying to talk to me....."where's the dirt?"

This line up was only one of a few that consisted only of 4wd's the odd smattering of sedans was in amongst the sea of 4b's. Amazing when most will never see a dirt road.

What drives people to buy such expensive vehicles to run and maintain when there is cheaper alternatives? In my family it is the wife, she usually does the school thing in our shopping cart known as the Jackeroo. Still no logic to us having this car either. (Before everyone has a go at my GU, it is used for what it was bought for, not many other vehicles would cope with the caning this thing cops from me and keep coming back for more.)

Cheers, Trevor.
