In my experience, the others don't have the same level of involvement and comradery that this one does. Think AB (and everyone else involved) does a fantastic job of making this a "group" rather than a forum.Quote:

Every other forum I've ever seen is full of tossers that do nothing but hang shit on each other's cars, they are just a big boys club and if you're not one of the boys then good luck to you... lolQuote:

I'm on a dive forum and it's like a battlefield at times, lots of bitching between the states, shore vs boat, PADI vs SSI etc. Gets to the point you don't want to make a comment or ask a question as you'll probably get hammered, or someones response will get hammered.Quote:

Also on a couple of caravan/camping forums and get much the same, lot's of know alls etc.
This forum is by the the friendliest and respectful I've been on, and very happy about that. Glad to be a member!
I watched a group of guys drive out one of the most helpful members on one of the other forums, and then hang shit on every newcomers posts, and that has only happened here on rare occasions ....
I think it is not only a great bunch, a great culture starting off ( welcoming courtesy ), and a good bunch of moderators .....
The members of this forum who understand the politics of 4x4 vic keep chipping away at the edges
this forum np.com could steam roll those old farts and have more clout than they the other ppl would ever imagine we are growing daily and all have one thing in common to enjoy our bush and tracks and be responsible 4x4 owners our meets are getting bigger and better each year and lots of freindships are being forged
its only a matter of time may the force be with you
Hmmmm, got me stumped!Quote:

Let's say I am in a proper 4WD club associated with 4WD Vic, and I go on a club trip, what sort of insurance is it?
If I roll my car do they pay me out? Or is it more if I hurt myself they cover the bill? Just curious.

It doesn't cover your own vehicle, as you are expected to have your own insurance....
It does seem to cover Personal Accident and Incident....
The main benefit as far as I can see, is the fact that if I organize a trip and invite others along, and something untoward happens to someone in the party, I cannot lose everything I own from being sued by the other parties....
