"Townie Trucks"

[geoff]

That looks a nice fresh truck Mike.

Round here in Essex it seems a 4wd is a thing to aspire to as a status symbol,the ones that get me are those trucks with silly names on the sides,like 'raging bull',generaly driven by short pot bellied egg heads in football shirts,always puts a smile on my face.

Many years ago, I had a Range Rover LSE for a house car that occasionally towed a chipper and went across ploughed fields if I was surveying sites. One farmer said that it was a majestic sight seeing a stretched RR going across a wet set aside field at speed!

 

Tony Saunders of Homegrown went everywhere in his RR Sport, and John Straka of JS Agriculture used his doing rail deveg, back was full of fuel/oil and saws, long reach stuff went between the front seats!

Nearly as bad as those rather hairdresserish silver Jimny things that some people drive

Nothing wrong with a clean truck. Thing that annoys me is people that buy trucks, make them look "offroadery/overland like" and then just drive them on the road, telling me to clean my truck and paint it!

Range Rovers are fantastic vehicles imo

What’s the difference between a range rover and a hedgehog? - With a range rover the pricks are on the inside.

I have to agree, I clean my farm disco when its MOT time or if the weeds and seeds start growing on the inside or if the you can't open the windows quick enbough before the smell wants to make you puke, and the 90 about the same! So safe to say i'm no clean car fanatic, now my older brother cringes at me. He cleans the engine bay of his car and takes the alloys off everytime to clean behind them. He's a cleaning fanatic, he's just been on a weeks holiday to dartmouth, on the south coast, as there was no garage to put the car in he took his gazebo with him to park the car under all week........thats dedication!

 

We have some good jokes between us about it, but thats what its all about, if we were all the same it'd be boring. I love leaving lumps of mud behind my truck where i park it, wife always says if i got lost anyone could follow the mud to find me!!

Whenever I see a range rover/bmw x5/audi q7/discovery3 with a private number plate, i just think 'what a complete arsewipe'....but they are sitting inside them thinking everyone is looking at them as some kind of deity!!

Don't get me wrong for a second, i am not jealous. I don't buy into their way of thinking, why can't they be a bit more humble with their money?

[LancsMike]

I even thought of doing this for the front corner where it's dinted inward for a few laugh's

It's up to the person buying to buy whatever they want, I can't believe so many people are commenting slagging others off for buying cars.

 

Life's far too short to get wound up about things like that. Just don't let it worry you.

 

If the worst thing that happens to you in a day, is that you turn your nose up at an office boy buying a brand new defender, I'd consider that a very good day
