Scott Brady wins the Outback Challenge, Morocco in a PZJ73!

[crushers]

why? cause a year or so back, you blatantly told me if i don't like the way things are to create my own.

i mentioned to Brian that a international section would be a good idea. tehre will be both TLCA clubs and just plain International clubs.

i have watched as a few stopped posting in the IH8MUD forum after the International section was broken up. some people do not have the experience to post tech but have a love for the JDM/diesel cruisers. they enjoy reading about what they could do if they had the money/time/ability. soem got sick of their threads/post getting moved or deleated. they posted here for others of our select group could read and enjoy, a privilaged brotherhood, if you may.

then the split happened, no i wasn't happy about it at all. it killed the "feeling" of the forum and it turned out i wasn't the only one that felt this way.

i guess my attitude has a lot to do with it. i do not like to always play by the rules (actually, i seldom like to play by the rules).

i absolutely LOVE the idea of a brotherhood of JDM cruiserheads. We are different from the rest of the cruiserheads. most of us are diesel bigots. some of us are Attention Sluts, we want what no one else (or few anyway) has. we build our trucks and trick them out after the OZ boys or the off road competition trucks.
WE LOVE OUR TRUCKS, this is not to say that other models are not loved by their owners as well as we know they do.

Greg, if you wish to join in that would be fantastic but if you wish not to then that is up to you.

anyway, there might be no participation in the new section. maybe i am way out in left field (it wouldn't be the first time), only time will tell.

i hope this will bring back some that have left off posting and encourage others to join in...
cheers

I also did not like the splitting of fourms.

To bad about the JDM for sale section as it made things easier to weed through.

Lets face it the diesel section should cover JDM, non north american vehicles and all diesel related, 7 series 8 series all series........

lol

And here I thought it was simply all about trying to re-create the JDM sandbox, as you miss the idolizing hoards that came to worship Wayne, sitting in a Budda like pose in the middle of the sandbox, where the 2LT reigns supreme, propane is “the” solution, R150 and 151 trannsmissions are the s***e, and solid mount fans shred the winds of opinion…so there is only one: Wayne’s. And Lord help anyone who says anything otherwise…

Silly me

LOL!!,
i think you are one of the few that thought i was being worshiped.

i posted because i liked to help out or if i had a different opinion then i wasn't scared to post it up. i like to think outside the box so if you feel the PZ is an inferior engine or the 2LT etc are light duty then i will take the oposing side, why? cause it is fun to either prove you right or maybe wrong.

when the RMLCA was in it's infancy Peter and i would get into great battles about gassers and diesels, higher or lower, driving abilities then Peter became all PC and the fun was gone. You have strong feelings about what you beleive and i have ideas, if the ideas don't jive with what you have said then i will try and prove my point.
the new forum is not about "Wayne", it is about the JDM/international units. it took me a while but i am taking your advice, you should be happy.

if some want to worship me then all i can say is don't. i like attention and i strive to find it by posting trip reports, tests, and by driving cool rigs but as for me as a person, there are a lot more knowledgeable people on this board and you Greg are one of them.

cheers

LOL!!,cheers

Well, at least you're still laughing!

On a serious note, perhaps an intl chat may well be warrented, however I would think it could be better placed in the general section, below "common" chat. I really do believe a disservice to the LC community in Mud as a whole is being done by not posting any international trip reports (anything outside USA) in the Trials-Events-Expeditions (Or the potential of having International Trip reports split between two areas). It's the best advertizing we an the international crew can get. And, to that end for continuity the TLCA Club corner might be best continued along the path for TLCA clubs, and/or organizations which have bylaws, a board of Directors, and require membership in the TLCA.

However, at the end of the day we are all guests here, as this is Woody's house. He has given a lot of leway to let this conversation wander in the public domain... I/we (G&S) continue to pimp Mud to customers who may not have heard of it, anyone I run across who has a LandCruiser, and at this point I see no plans to change that. I like it.

and i visit to enjoy the brotherhood and to banter back and forth.
i pimp my trucks by the banner above and the visits to my website.
i don't think i have actually advertised a truck on mud since the BJ40 from a ways back.
if some use the site to pimp their wears then good for them and i wish them well, if i see or hear of someone that is lookign for a particular need i sent them to the vendor that caters to that need.
if someoen sends me a interested customer i appreciate it but that is not the reason i am on mud....
brotherhood, my man, brotherhood.
if the masses want to read about my trips or reports they know where to find them...
cheers and peace...

Now Stone you are reading into this, it says something something, or chat or trails expeditions or diesel tech or 70 series........


Moderation is a good point and the natives have grown wrestless, lets drop the nit picking and get on with some diesel, 7 seris, worldwide landcruiser talk.

We get so little milage in this forum it is not imparitive to moderate with a iron fist.

I am sick and tired of this ongoing power struggle, I do not care who thinks they are the schat, we can make our own minds up. I have no problem with anybody on this fourm as we all have opinions(likes A#$ Holes we all have them).

Lets have some fun, share some information and build relationships with other cruiser folk.

Pity that sweet 73 has to go back to frog-land . . . .

That bad boy needs to be headed for North America.
