Agreed; the last episode was hilarious. With the exception of the Sophia
Loren questions, and a bit of the Chaz Liccardello stuff, I laughed all the
way through.
The Sophia Loren bit was so cringingly bad I'm surprised they didn't leave
it on the cutting-room floor. (Although I s'pose it was a bit too
high-profile to just pretend it didn't happen).

Yet another yuppie 4WD owner gets offended! ;-)

(Must be my warped sense of humour then.) :))

I don't think a Hilux qualifies as a "yuppie 4WD", I just can't be
bothered with any more antu 4WD bullshit so I ignore it.

You need that to live in Qld:-)

Here's a direct quote from a farm management consultant which appears
in this week's rural newspaper (Qld)....

"almost half the fuel used on farms is in vehicles used to move around
the farm and on trips to town. One way to manage this component is to
use smaller, more efficient vehicles, rather than big four wheel drive
utes, using gas or diesel, rather than petrol."

I guess that leaves 4WD clubs and the military! ;-)

My Father in Law owned a farm out between Parkes and Forbes, he had about a
mile of Dirt road from the house to the front gate, then another 10k of dirt
to the sealed road, there are times when it used to rain that if he didn't
have a 4 WD he would have been stuck, sometimes for weeks, and he used a
Yamaha 4 WD bike to get around most of the farm, its amazing what one of
those will tow ;-)
