Yeah fair enough. Rarely watch them now, the last one i watched my mum & Dad got me for chrissy from the bargain bin. He doesn't seem bad from the few I've seen, doesnt give me the irrates like a certain someone else that's for sure. . .

I'm sure if we met all the blokes for a beer they would be good company. I don't think it's about that. It's what they do to promote their mag and the perception they generate to the non 4wders out there that all anyone with a 4wd dose is go out there bush bashing. With governments and councils and all the other groups trying to close off areas we need the support of average Joe Blow and if he thinks we're all a bunch of hicks we have no hope.

so yes they only carved up the track to get some good footage.
Not a great way to promote "tread Lightly" or the cause of track closures down it Tassie
Dont buy the Mag any more, since Pat was editor I think

If you want to "tread lightly". IMO, you don't attempt a track like the Balfour. This track is renowned for drowning cars.

I've just watched the DVD and IMO that's what they did through the Balfour Track, that little piece you said earlier about driving around the bog on the side track..... well that's what they did and the camera crew cars were bogged on it.

I'm not sticking up for anyone on the mag or the mag itself but before making judgments make sure you have the full story.
There's been plenty of vids that have been uploaded by members on here showing much spinning of wheels getting through bogholes or up ruts etc etc etc........ We've all done it to some extent
