Nah its a pristine land rover type thing with a winch on the front and a bunch of gumball/rally stickers on it. It's pretty white.

I don't know who the man in the picture is but if I had to guess what vehicle he drives I would think either a 4WD hilux with giant knobby tyres, winch, skidpan, bullbar front bumper replacement, rollbar, roof lights and not a speck of mud or dirt anywhere. Other option is an HSV commodore ute automatic with a noisy exhaust.

Trivia:

I am intending on going to the shooting range tomorrow. I am bringing 5 A4 pieces of paper with a colour graphic printed on them (I didn't print them- got given them after a Christmas party trivia quiz) which I intend to shoot various kinds of ammunition at. What are on the pieces of paper?

There is a goon shoot in March where they do stuff like fill cans of incendiary material or shoot high powered rifles at motorcycle helmuts and stuff so we will have to wait for the result of the 2nd referendum

I have some qualms about shooting an actual flag though, like thats edging a little into the anti-nationality territory and there are plenty enough typical people shooting pics of Obama and should really be under watch of the Secret Service in this country.

But for now they are just tea towels and I am pop pop popping

Cool that Saudi Arabia is bombing schools in Yemen and we're giving them millions of dollars of tax payer money instead of telling them to go gently caress themselves.

But it's the GOD drat RAPISTS AND MURDERERS in Aussie detention centres who are the evil criminals.

Even better when you realise that ISIS is funded by well connected Saudi businessmen and we are paying bribes to a well connected Saudi businessman so there is a chance our government is supporting ISIS.

ISIS also appears to be receiving support from Turkey, quite possibly other NATO states as well.

Were also buying oil or oil-based products which ends up back in the hands of Saudi businessmen. Did you drive a car today? You're literally supporting ISIS.

No but for real, there's a lot that could be done to isolate ISIS further but no countries really want to do that, they'd rather just spend more money on bombs.

The US doesn't want to isolate ISIS, because ISIS is fighting Assad, and the US wants regime change in Syria.

Daesh is fighting anyone who isn't Daesh. They don't want to win any of the wars that they've started, because they don't see victory as their actual goal- it is the fighting that counts.

Also, the US is doing 80% of the bombing on Daesh targets at the moment.

My greatest fear about Red Peak was that it was less a popular movement and more of a brand logo for the Grey Lynn Farmers Market. ... Inner-city suburbanites living in restored villas or bungalows who tend towards organic and/ or vegetarian diets, cycle to work, and profess cosmopolitan social values and centre-left to radical and green politics.

Why is it that every pundit talks about The Public like it's separate to them and then moans about not engaging with The Public, stuff not being in The Public consciousness etc etc. It's like saying you're stuck in traffic whilst sitting in the car and pretending you aren't traffic.

Prime Minister John Key says drug dependency is a major contributor to poverty in New Zealand, as a damning new report claims that one in three Kiwi children are living in hardship.

The report by the Child Commissioner suggests that poverty in New Zealand is much worse now than it was in the 1980s.
