I have to say that I agree with parts of both sides. "Total Chaos" doesn't do our image any favours but equally we shouldn't keep bowing down to the antis. Part of the reason the bobblies are so successful is because they are downright militant and demand their rights rather than trying to keep everyone else happy. They therefore get their way because nobody can be bothered to stand up to them. While I'm not suggesting we should be as aggressive as they are I do think a more assertive attitude might help. This is just a case of demolishing their arguments and refusing to allow ourselves to be bullied or pushed aside.

I do not buy TOR as its CRAP, but theor views in green lanes need a lot of work.

In my defence i'd like to point out that i was at a private event on private land.
Mr King has mounted his high horse without knowing anything about me or about the events that led to the roll-over.
It was a clumsy mistake on my part that caused the roll-over whilst in reverse and as for reckless i had my partner, my daughter and the wives of Disco Mike and HiQ Lee in the vehicle so i don't think so !!!!!!
At the time i did what many people do when someone sticks a camera in your face....... I stuck my tongue out.
I suggest Mr King and others of his ilk get a life while they still can............

I think this is my main complaint with "Total Chaos" - it doesn't give any information on how the vehicle ended up like that.

When I saw the picture originally, and posted about it on here, the thought of how it happened never even crossed my mind. Mr King and his like seem to have far too much time on their hands to be able to analyse pictures like that  :roll:

I actually rang and spoke to the editor Alan and said thanks fo the comment he put at the bottom of the letter.
If the reader had actually bothered to get all the facts before moaning he would have known better.
Off road site, controlled environment and a piccy of a jolly chap aka our Hissy having fun!!

If i took a picture of Hissy or most memers off roading, they woudl be smiling or pulling faces!!!

I appreciate if the image had mentioned this was taken at a pay and play it may have given off different views but come on, some people really need to get a life.
After all thius reader bought the mag.

I was just in front of Hissy turning to come back down the track blocking his way, hence he decided to reverse, I watched what happened and it was an extremely slow roll, there was absolutely nothing wreckless about his driving and as for the fact Hissy was pulling that face it's not his fault he was born like that :oops:, sorry that was humour again.

I say that as a group we seem pay far too much attention to what antis think, or may think. Ignore them and lets get with enjoying our hobby. 

Havent seen the picc Hissy, but sure that its a corker - well done.
