Footloose

Ron's Footloose column appears every month in 4x4 Australia magazine. He's been called a 'red neck' and even a 'Hitlerite'. Here you can find out what he really thinks, so you can make up your own mind! Controversial, insightful, thought provoking and sometimes just plain fun, make the column a must read. And, they are just as challenging, inspiring and provocative as they were when they were first written.

Here's some from the last past couple of years. For up-to-minute reading check out the latest issue of 4x4 Australia magazine.
