What a miserable lot...

[nero279]

..surf owners are, whilst awaiting a recovery vehicle just off the M20 J7 roundabout today, no less than 4 surfs passed me. Not one even acknowledged me let alone stopped to offer a hand. I got a few nods and thumbsups from other 4x4s, but not even a glance from any of the surfs that passed.

In fact, sod it, i'm sellin up and buyin a mitsubishi [yeah right ], but it is true that the only person that actually stopped was driving a pajero.

The other makes where just laughing at you!

I'd have stopped, but you know, it was raining and the car was lovely and warm..........

[joker??]

sorry to hear you got probs mate bet all the surfs that passed you was saying bet thats a 2.4
doubt if they was members on here

[POPEYE]

Yeah know what you mean, there's quite a few surfs round here and ports and i've never got a wave, thumbs up, kiss my arse or owt, got a real frendly (un solicited) wave and thumb from a guy driveing an american van tho and a couple of nods from paj drivers, sod the surfers

Face it guys, to some people who own them, a Surf is just another means of transport. Just because we wax lyrical about them doesn't mean that others share our passion (unfortunately)!

[BUSHWHACKER]

I would have stopped .

thats true spoke to a few people with surfs around here dont even know what engines in them
had a s3 landy everyone s3 i passed used to flash there lights or wave

[logey79]

tend only to get any acknowledgement from the older surfs...the newer ones are mostly owned by people who just see it as a cheap chelsea tractor.

[Apache]

I would have stopped mate!

I'm sure all members on here would have.

I've put flyers on several I've seen in carparks, and none have ever turned up here! Miserable bu66ers!

[Woodzie]

The truth of the matter is there is a hard core of about 200-300 on here the rest are not so friendly .......that number over the uk are spread very thin




Oh and i would have checked you were ok

[Apache]

I've stopped for other vehicles before now, if they were in a dodgy place such as a dark country lane.

Again, if all us 4x4 owners did that it would be another step in letting the world know we're not bunny-squashing, deer-crushing, pedestrian maming monsters.

i don't think so!!

depends wot SHE looks like lol

[nero279]

If it's safe, i stop for pretty much anyone broken down. 2 of the 4 i think quite possibly were members, although i'll let one of em off coz he only registered a couple of weeks ago, and didn't come from the easiest direction to stop, i was in the top of the sliproad and he came round the roundabout.

The other one i'll let off because i'm not sure it was him, and if it was i already owe him big time for helpin us out last time i cocked it up at woodlands?

Yes, it was ontime that picked me up.

I knew the guy in the paj too, i went laning with him a couple of weeks back, and he had also been at woodlands today.
