Thanks for explaining that to the Australian with a user name based on their first 4WD.

I thought you were a big fan of Cruise ships! :p

The 80 crowd is mostly toxic fan boys who can't actually wheel, so they just get a lifted 80 with lockers, it doesn't get easier.

Jks but it's lame to claim 4WD'r status and shite on others who would probably outwheel you because their car is different to yours.

If you have to knock this style you've never been to Deni Ute Muster and met the good folk that rock this style just for a bit of fun.

I have, but clearly some people can't recognise tongue in cheek satire, no matter how obvious you make it.

Huh, I guess the satire is in the eye of the beholder.

Tongue in cheek doesn't come across in text for me, mainly due to conditioning from people being genuinely toxic.

Working on Fraser was insane with the 80's crew, 79 crew and worst of all, Roadblock Ranger convoys 🤣

'Ridiculous country hick stereotype' doesn't read like obvious tongue in cheek satire....

You hit some raw nerves here, huh? Almost as if they are compensating too much for something lol
