No, but it seems a lot of people do.

Nope.

Doesn't mean I don't enjoy chirping those that drove other brands though....

Of Course!

Where it's Off Road vehicle related.

What a person drives tell you a lot about them.

Cruiser and old Defender guys are generally OK.

Patrol guys are OK but have a massive Cruiser chip on their shoulders.

Hilux and Fortuner guys are either sensible guys who made the safe choice or Holics who can't stop making the Toyota name gat.
Luckily the latter put stickers on their vehicles so you know which group is which.

Disco 1, 2 and 3 guys are generally OK.
Disco 4, 5 and sport guys are generally tossers.

Ranger drivers are just Hilux drivers who think they are different.
Like everyone else.

Guys with a Chocolate Starfish decal.on their doors are either tossers or cockwombles.

Isuzu drivers are salt of the earth guys. People you can rely on.

I think that covers all the Off Road brands....

No, each to their own. Although many people judge me when I first arrive. :D
I have driven many different brands, not many are as much fun as a Jimny among a bunch of big rigs.
And Manny does not even rate it… 8-)
And a Pajero is sublime for long distance touring.

Sorry Flippie - I forgot about the Jimny.
Jimny (& SJ) drivers, like all hobbits are great guys, they do tend to act like outcasts - but it's great when they mix with the full sized off Roaders...
