POLITE GATHERING ANNOUNCED

There’s a big ol' Melbourne blogbash planned for this weekend. Not sure of the venue yet, but most likely it’ll be one that supplies alcohol; updates on this soon. I’ll be there, but so will people who you’ll actually enjoy talking to, so turn up and buy them drinks. Much thanks to the Ford Motor Company for providing transport -- review to follow.

Boycott Ford!

They gave millions to the feminist movement.

IS that a satire on Ford's, um, pro-Aryanism?

You're joking Tim - no self-respecting RWDB would be seen dead in a yuppie tractor. You should have put your foot down and demanded the Ford RTV ute. Throw a couple of sandbags over the rear axle then feel the power of that sucker.
If the shit hits the fan down south, you can quickly convert into a technical. Simply mount an M-60 and a couple of spotties on the roll-bar, and let the car do the talking. One can never be too sure with those mexicans.
PS. wouldn't that impress your mate at the Albury drive-thru !

No Andjam, it's been reported that they've given about 230m to the movement since the early seventies
