They ran an article like that on a few of us in consecutive magazines. Can't remember th blokes full name but it was "ruthy" I think. The bloke that owns/ed "Milo".

Pic was taken at Big Boys 4x4 park when it was still running. Good thing is the Subies took out a lot of events that weekend.

You're right.... the fellow's name is Roothy and he still owns Milo, although its undergoing a full rebuild at the moment (engine, gearbox, diffs, etc).

I don't know this because I buy 4WD Action (formally 4WD Monthly) btw, I work for a company that sponsors Roothy and Milo.

MY offroader is the real "Milo" anyway... it might not be green and full of brown stuff but it had a genuine Milo exhaust tip for a while there.

I put an actual milo tin over the my twin (standard lib) exhausts, sounded like shit, looked funny and it was on just to have a stab at the big milo tin drivers
