We publish 4WD Action. I also have a financial interest in Tigerz11 and Roo Systems.</p> <p>I started 4WD Action over 200 issues ago with a view to cover the 4WD lifestyle and help 4WDers enjoy the Aussie bush for less money. Other prominent 4WD media was then, and still is, mainly concerned with expensive new vehicles and products. For 15 years 4WD Action has been showing the average Australian that you don’t need lots of money to enjoy the bush with your mates and family.</p><p><a href="http://www.4wdaction.com.au/articles/2013/letter-owner-4wd-action-charles-vella" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://www.4wdaction.com.au/articles/2013/letter-owner-4wd-action-charles-vella#comments 4WD News News Mon, 13 May 2013 00:39:32 +0000 admin 59601 at http://www.4wdaction.com.au LIVING THE DREAM! http://www.4wdaction.com.au/articles/2013/living-dream <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-article-images"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <img src="http://www.4wdaction.com.au/sites/default/files/imagecache/album_large/article/130401_Simpson-3411.jpg" alt="" title="" class="imagecache imagecache-album_large imagecache-default imagecache-album_large_default" width="400" height="250" /> </div> </div> </div> <p>When you’ve been travelling across this great country of ours how often have you thought, “I could live here!” Well this is how Dave and Mel Cox stumbled over their career and lifestyle change.
