Isuzu/VX mention in Petersens 4x

This is (stolen from a post elsewhere) from the new Petersens 4X mag. They mention the VX and our great site....and ZuZoo!

Super Trooper
I love your magazine, but I cannot recall the last time I read about or saw an Isuzu Trooper, which I love. I thin it is a much underrated rig. I love being different because everywhere I go, everybody has jeeps. Its bad enough that my favorite mag doesn't talk about Troopers, but nobody sells parts for them either. If you could help me in anyway, that would be great. Trooper lovers unite!

Just you luck. If you check out this very issue you'll find a wealth of information on Isuzu's and other orphan 4x4s starting on page 96. We call these rigs orphans because it really seems that everyone ignores them, even though just like your rig, many of them are highly capable machines that don't get the credit they deserve. By Rick P'ewe'

(Page 96 article on Isuzu's)

Isuzu has been a hit or miss (Trooper, hit; Rodeo, decent; Ascender,desperate; Axiom, more fun on the pavement than on dirt; Vehicross, way cool), but it has still managed to sneak some sturdy components into its less hard-core four-bys, such as a Dana 44 in the Amigo.

Isuzu followers almost seem to have gone underground which is unfortunate, since the brand is struggling and could really use them more then ever before!

Copied and pasted....stolen....from planetisuzu, so it may have been a mistake in the posters typing. I haven't actually seen the mag yet.

Yay for Petersens! \o/

Its the thought that counts.

I mean cmon, where else is a VX owner gonna go for info? This site is more reliable than even a dealer. :p

You know, I was just talking with some Subaru buddies yesterday about internet vehicle networking. Ever given any thought to a VX webring? I know I would definately join it and tag it on my personal site. Might even give me a reason to actually update my site from 2002, heh.

Also, on NASIOC.com (us Scooby freaks), they recently started a Zoints network community. It's pretty neat actually. Basically, it's essentially a myspace clone, but with purpose. I joined it because of NASIOC and so far it's been a great way to meet locals that have a Rex. Like, I learned that there was recently an autoX that I missed from someone on there, which I didnt know about.... bummer. Anyways, it's just another way of getting our small VX community seen and heard, and thats never a bad thing. ;)

In case you arent sure what Zoints is, here is my cruddy link for my Rex stuff.... (notice, the VX is on there as well, hahaha).... http://vxss.zoints.com/?tab=0

edit: bah, hit post before i was done....
