I know Mash carries a saw while laning and I've seen him use it... might mistake my car for a branch and convert it to a SWB! LOL :lol:

[our] Kit recalls those great â€œwoodâ€ Wagons of the past that started the whole S.U.V. movement. The timeless design and long history of woodies as the rugged work-horse was forever changed to include luxury appointments and comfort.

I know we're accused of some weird things as 4x4 owners, but the demise of wooden panelled cars ?!?!

Now a) how is that our fault and b) is it really a bad thing ?

Post by: V8MoneyPit on October 11, 2007, 18:05:49: I'm not sure they are saying it's the fault of SUV's, datalas. I think they are suggesting the woody's were the forerunners of the SUV.

Not that I'm defending anyone who thinks they look good :lol: Of course, some of the old woodies did look the part.... but that was in the 40's. Not such a great idea on a 2007 Mini Cooper :lol:

Depends, anything to disguise the fact it's a 2007 mini might not be a bad thing ... Especially when it's in cat vomit yellow.

I rather think the fraud fukus estate rather suits it, considering some of the old planks that drive them...

Now that's not very environmentally friendly of you...... just think of the carbon from the fires :lol:
And, of course, it's not wood either!

Actually, its not so bad. I've seen worse. As far as bad taste jabs at the US due to some dodgy wood grain stickers, go spend an hour in Halfrauds, etc. More fake 'bolt ons' than an episode of Footballers Wives, more sticky-back plastic than an entire season of Blue Peter... :roll:

Seriously though, the 'woody' wasn't always a name for that embarrasing condition, rather like the Morris traveller, wooden panelled station wagons were a big thing in the good old U.S. of A.
