Title: 4WD Action pulls a few heartstrings
Post by: Symon on October 28, 2011, 03:37:58 PM
Just watched the latest DVD from issue #172 and got to see a story about a bloke going through a bit of a rough patch.

For those who haven't got the mag yet you can see the thread that started it all here - http://www.4wdaction.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=113353

Now I know we all have the odd beef about the magazine for various (and sometimes justified) reasons, but you cannot take away what the magazine and a few of their sponsors have done for this guy.

As someone who has had to battle with the 'black dog', I have no shame in admitting a lot of what was said struck a chord, and I was blubbering away like a baby by the time he got his truck back.

So two thumbs up to the lads at 4WD Action for doing something to be proud of.

Wow what a story, it does make you feel great to be able to help others out. The great Aussie mate spirit lives on.

I wish someone had of helped me like that when I did my back in.
I could have used a nice new 4x4!

Shows what the 4wd fraternity can do when someone is down on their luck.

I am always amazed at the number of 4wd club members who get stuck in and help out after fires/floods etc.

Maybe Scrooby needs to come out on a fencing trip...

No matter what one may think of the mag, they occasionally can do a real good deed  - good on them.

Cheers
