Sorry members, I didn't see the clip/link/post so I can't comment.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Ok, if that was the same clip I didn't see the problem either. :?

Ok I was the one who originally posted the Steve Irwin link.
When I questioned why it had been locked & what was offensive about it (so I didnt post anything similar and offend again) I was told it wasn't my post but a reply that had been offensive so it was locked / deleted.


Having said that, I am happy to play by the rules & glad that we do have a forum that is family friendly and generally a nice place to spend some time.

YEAH! That Steve Irwin link was funny and should never have been banned!



I just watched this clip and I can't see a problem with it at all..... If anything it was hilarious!
This is certainly the kind of clip that should be seen over and over again. Steve was fricken awesome and this is a perfect example of how cool he was. Just like the footage of him with Rove on Rove's show.... totally awesome. I'd certainly like to hear an explanation of why this link was removed. We wouldn't remove a video clip of Peter Brock driving around Bathurst... would we?!?!
Apples and Oranges. Pretty well everyone respected Brocky although he did have a few detractors. Steve Irwin definitely had his critics and anything that might inflame passions over someone who has just passed away, is best avoided.
