Boggins, Tappits & Patrolholics

#1

Post by Mad Manny »

ASPW released a video in which he calls Patrol owners 'Boggins'.
Boggins is Ozzie slang for 'Tappit'.
According to the great Andrew St Pierre White the Ozzie Patrollers behave like South African Toyotaholics...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3aguetATgY

If you don't know who ASPW is, he founded 4xForum (now 4x4Community Forum) & 4xOverland.

He says the Pajero is crap Off Road & the Pathfinder was a crap 4x4.
So he knows of which he speaks...

The Pajero is useless off-road but he especially despised their owners more than the lack of ability of the vehicle. That makes me feel okay, to be perfectly honest Image.

Look at this clip and then see how even an X5 with 45” rims and the tread painted onto the rims outperforms most of the BitsofSushi’s:

He’s spot on with the Pathfinder. Useless vehicle. Spent best part of a morning behind it at Klein Tafelberg. Useless, useless vehicle.

Pajero…..

As some may know I don’t often watch YouTube vids and this is the reason why.

It’s friday night, it’s raining and I’m bored so I thought, against my better judgement, to see what Manny is in about.

My word this guy has totally lost the plot. He seriously needs to be put out to pasture and fast.

The drivel he comes up with. He goes on and on and on about a Pathfinder he tested in 2006 while trying to explain why he doesn’t like Nissan. He confuses the Y61 with the Y62 Patrol the whole time. He still spends time telling us how bad a Pajero is off road. How long has he been saying this? Has he not got a new drum to beat.He is completely past it, over the hill, senile and irrelevant. Doesn’t even take the trouble to edit out his errors.

What a plonker.

And there you have it. The reason why I don’t watch these types of YouTube videos. Because, mostly, they are full of plonkers sharing their gems of wisdom which are so often biased(because they are Sponsored by the product being reviewed), badly presented, boring and just a complete waste of time trying to sift through all the garbage trying to find a gem.

He should have compared the Y60, Y61 and Y62 with the 80, 100 and 200 Series Land Cruisers. The 70 Series were never intend to be opposition for the Patrol.
You will never find me without Stroh or a 4x4 :D

ASPW has launched a video responding the outcry that the Boggins, Tappits & Patrolholic's video caused...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQBM3z-99PE

I like where he claims he is called the 'David Attenborough' of 4x4'ing.
I have NEVER heard him called that...
:lol:

There was a meme subsequent to his first retarded rant.

Im not going to give him the satisfaction of getting another view on his tally.
Sad that hes going the controversial route to get views these days.

Sad like in the pathetic way, not sad as in I care about him ;)

In SA it's not so much the brand of vehicle that makes you a Boggin, but rather the stickers you have on your windscreen and tailgate

I have a NORC and Patrol4x4 sticker at the back of the truck. I also have a 4x4 Community sticker. But it has been modified to highlight my elevated status there. Also, I drive a Patrol. You cannot be more boggin than I am...

Boggin, and proud of it. :D :D

ASPW is a tit of man - and not the perky good kind.

He likes the sound of his voice and secretly laments that he is simply unable to reach the pedals of a Patrol (while seated on a cushion to see over the steering wheel).

I concur. Sadly, this forum does not have a "like" function (ahem).

However, I think that as he has become less liked, more hated and totally irrelevant as time passes, he merely spouts his controversial idiocy to garner likes, views and shares on his video. Click-bait. I just choose to ignore the idiot.
