If it gets 20,000 more people to go and get out there then great job done. Jet, I also get a bit uurrgghhh watching some of the insert bits but we have to remember were a small percent that have set ups almost just right, have spent Months on the road and know that it works. I think those thinking about thee first, second or third trip away would be quite excited about what they see on the show. I've always liked Pat and in real life he goes as hard core as any one, well used to but I see where the show is pitched and unfortunately if we he was to show any track chewing up the Green Mob would be go into a frenzy - catch 22.
Anyway, aside from Graham Cahill (SP) on 4Wd action I think he is the best 4WD host and way better than Roothy these days.
