Mark Gladwell, writing in the New Yorker in 2004 presented the bare facts on the Four Wheel Drive craze with three mighty strokes of the pen. He outlines the history of the four wheel drive, examines the safety and discusses the phsychology of the buyer with the psych guru hired by the design team.  Lizard Brain Fools Car Buyers is the on-air outline of the story, there's an excerpt on this site, and the full article on Gladwell's site.

Repco Rally    BIT LATE FOR 7.30 report/ but protest as shown below anyway

The anti-Repco Rally protesters of the north coast are looking for your support. This weekend the Repco Car Rally is going to pass through national parks and the internationally recognised biodiversity hotspot of the Green Cauldron in North Eastern NSW.  Noisy, polluting, environmentally damaging cars are going to tear along the roads of some of the most beautiful parts of this state, containing endangered and vulnerable species,  during breeding time for many animals. As well as the cars there will be spectators and their vehicles, helicopters, media and extra police in the area.
