Graham meets Roothy - West Australia, the first trip.

Graham meets Roothy - West Australia, the first trip.

People have been asking me to find this old classic - the first time WA contributor Graham Cahill was introduced on camera. What follows is a trip where Graham lends Roothy his Shorty Nissan and Roothy naturally takes plenty of care of it - not.....

Weirdly feels like looking back 50 years lol, old jocko was just an idea back in these days 🤣

The master and the apprentice! Now Graham is looking like the old fella on the new 4wd247

Thanks for sharing Roothy!
I really enjoy watching the original show. No competition about how cool your car is, just building friendship and sharing time in the Aussie bush with ya mates.

Graham himself is a legend...roothy however, is papa legend 🤘🏻

i remember back when theses old patrols where everywhere now there not so common, all the ones you find are either rusted out to the roots or beaten to high heavens. makes me tear up seeing the old show, i can still remember Christmas 8 years ago watching these on the disc sets the old thin plastic cover ones. i loved every minute of footage, the Hustle and effort that went in to those is 10fold to what we see today. thanks for building my childhood roothy i owe it all too merry Christmas to you and your family have a safe one.

Never seen any of the early stuff I’m purely a YouTube only fan this is cool to see this stuff be cool to see an episode now where he comes back for one last trip

I got a 12 month subscription to 4WD Monthly back in the early 2000’s. The promo was a free Kangaroo jack. Sure enough one turned up at the post office for me-good quality one too I still use it all these years later how good is that ay thanks for the memories Roothy

Met both of them @ Birdsville in 2013. Great blokes to talk with, funny and full of knowledge about everything off road. Legend's.

Bloody awesome, there’s nothing better than watching a video of Roothy on Christmas Day while having a cold beer after all the relatives have gone home 😀👍.

[peterpetkovic]

I am a loyal Roothy fan, in my opinion never bite the hand that feeds you. It was pretty obvious Roothy was stragically asked to step away or whatever so Graham could take over4wd action or be the main man. It Roothy stride he took it on the chin and moved on... full respect 🙏 for the bloke keep up the good work buddy Australia loves you.. and appreciates you experience and commitment to the 4wd industry..because of you heaps of people got into camping and 4wd driving and cooking, exploring etc.

One is a legend of Australian 4x4, with journalistic integrity and values the industry and refused to sellout, one isn’t.

I remember when this guy Graham over took my stock 60 series on Brand Highway in that thing. I could hear his muddies singing on the tarmac as he passed me And I just looked at my passenger and shook my head and said look at this goose. Then I saw him on a 4WD Action dvd And thought I Know that Pootrol and the when I saw the guy that owned it I just thought. Yep it all makes sense now.

Love the old episodes Roothy and hello from the states! It's so interesting seeing the origins of my favorite 4wd show! Watching the new and old episodes have definitely made me want to come over and check out your beautiful country.

Gods country right there. My favourite 4x4 playground. Bogged a shorty bundera out the back of those sand dunes back in 95, 4 hours of digging later. Way before maxtrax were even thought of. Great Times

[bladenrexroth]

Roothy looks like he knows food way better than Shauno🤣

[tazyt]

[Malc]
