Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / 4x4 Cars (Australian group) / February 2005South Sydney Council
It was reported on the news tonight that South Sydney Council will charge up to double for parking of 4WDs. Surprise surprise.. their web site www.sscc.nsw.gov.au was not active tonight either. I guess they didn't want all those abusive emails flowing in. Isn't it North Sydney Council that was on the news today!! > It was reported on the news tonight that South Sydney Council will charge up > to double for parking of 4WDs. > Surprise surprise.. their web site www.sscc.nsw.gov.au was not active > tonight either.

There's enough blokes still around on aus.cars.offroad from a few years ago on this newsgroup, who might agree that the 4wd scene isn't what it used to be. remember when driving a 4wd gave you some cred as a bloke? remember when doing Big Red didn't mean some homosexual Oxford Street gay bar cruise? Remember when your wife ........... remeber when HAVING a wife was in fasion? remember when your wife wouldn't drive your 4wd because she COULDN"T!!!!! Yeah........why not? Some yuppy fuk council in sissy-ville ups the rates on 4wds to offset the cost of the condom vending machines they provide in the latte bars. You know it makes sense. > > It was reported on the news tonight that South Sydney Council will charge > > up to double for parking of 4WDs.

I was in Birdsville before the bowser stickers "have you conquered Big Red yet?" (and by the way there are 2 of em these days, the National Parks Big Red and the real one around 2k north...but you'll find traffic jams on both of them ) Having a wife was always in fashion. Not married at 30 ? Hmmm..... She stayed home and looked after the kids. Now we do it. Its fashionable for her to be the bread winner and to have a house hubby. My wife rekkons she still can't drive my 4wd. Thats feminist bull. She just doesn't want to drive it cause her car is much more comfortable to drive. These days she has more money than I. Men have been marginalized. Gotta run and do the vacuuming, otherwise I'll miss Opera and Dr Phil. Cheers Jim Bit pissed last night. 4x brings out the Sam Kekovich in me. I guessed :) But at least you had an excuse. I didn't have one when I wrote this http://www.jimshire.aussiewide.com/marginal_man.htm > Bit pissed last night. > > 4x brings out the Sam Kekovich in me. Yeah, good stuff Jim. Agree with all of it. Lots of things I could talk about. Are you on any forums/bulletin boards or the likes? Dont want to hijack this thread too much. There's been a shortage of threads on how opressed 4wd owners are these days. >I guessed :) But at least you had an excuse.

Say, arent the charges based on motor capacity ?? meaning the V8 limos etc will also cop it ?? -- Regards ..... Rheilly Phoull Yep. Police, ambos and council vehicles excepted of course. I wonder if scrubbys Forrester is also exempt ? :))) > > Yeah, good stuff Jim. Agree with all of it. Lots of things I could talk > > about. Are you on any forums/bulletin boards or the likes? Dont want to [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > -- > Regards ..... Rheilly Phoull The news paper reported it as being an anti pollution thing and because 4WDs use far more fuel than cars do they must pay more and of course that stupid old (got a 4WD but wants them banned) scruby says it's a win for everyone because these gass guzzling Behemoths have no place in the city because they take up so much room in car parks of course all his ramblings are now irrelevant since he bought a 4WD(why didn't he get an Impreza or Liberty, why a Forrester??) Now I don't know about anyone else, but I know when I park my 100 series in a car park it only takes up one space, usually jammed between two fuckwit cars drivers who need two spaces because they can't park straight(maybe thats scruby's problem) and as for fuel usage, it uses quite a bit less fuel than my 84 XE Ford used to so what is it about my car that gives them any right to charge me more if I were to win $20M and decide I want to be a North Shore Toss pot Kev > Yep. Police, ambos and council vehicles excepted of course. I wonder if > scrubbys Forrester is also exempt ? :))) [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > -- > > Regards ..... Rheilly Phoull The mayor (who owns an AWD Volvo XC70 which apparently will be exempt from the higer rates) says: "It is only the big gas-guzzlers like the Pajero and Cherokee and eight-cylinder vehicles that will pay the higher rate." So does a Volvo XC70 use less fuel than a turbo diesel Paj or Jeep? I doubt it. Will they differentiate between diesel models and petrol models, or will they have a specific cut-off fuel consumption rate? Who's fuel consumption figures would they use? Perhaps the definition will just be any vehicle that's higher than what the mayor chooses to drive - because nobody should be higher than the mayor. (I haven't checked, but I imagine that the current models of both the Pajero and Cherokee are probably shorter and narrower than the Volvo XC70 - or at least be very close). Rob I can see a quick court case involving a Jeep Grand Cherokee owning lawyer and the returning of extorted monies to those with 4WDs one thing does this also include a Hiace LWB van a Merc 100 van or any of the maxi vans getting about what about a 2WD F100, a toyota 2 tonne dyna? a 1964 Caddy, or any 60s yank tank Kev > The mayor (who owns an AWD Volvo XC70 which apparently will be exempt from > the higer rates) says: [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Rob > I can see a quick court case involving a Jeep Grand Cherokee owning > lawyer and the returning of extorted monies to those with 4WDs Yep. I believe there is a queue........ Tony Smith "It is only the big gas-guzzlers like the Pajero and Cherokee and eight-cylinder vehicles that will pay the higher rate." So, they use more fuel parked with the engine off? Damn I'll leave the Landcrab idling in first on full lock! smack Exterminate! Destroy! You are the Dr!!! You are the enemy of the darliks! Nah really! What's the point of all these threads about how the forces of evil are out to get 4 wds? It's being going on for ages.but nothing's has changed. I mean what have the Romans done for us? The wine? (that's important) Safe to walk the streets at night? Stan now has the right to have a baby, even though he doesn't has a uteris for the foetus to gestate, but it symbolises the struggle we 4wd owners have against the oppresive regime. Well................ Despite not being a whinging Pom, I still have the RIGHT to be a whinging pom. Can we talk about something else? You never know. Maybe the aliens read this newsgroup, and if they find out that we're just a bunch of miserable kill joys, they'll slap a "sad f.ck" tax on us too. This stuff is being going on since I bought my BJ40 (so long ago, it might not have been that) in 1977. And we're all still a pack of environmental vandals who use 100 / rainforests /10 Ks Lets move on. Next? >I can see a quick court case involving a Jeep Grand Cherokee owning >lawyer and the returning of extorted monies to those with 4WDs [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >> >> Rob This has open a can of worms so owner of BMW and Merc all wheel drive are these exmpted ??? Hmmm. A few young ladies must be worried about Honda's. Next case trade people all use uts of some description either 4wd or 2wd plus crew cab. A workhorse during the week and off road at the weekend so the list goes on. Went the Next council election.
