Hi All,
Anyone see the Russell Coight guide to 4WDing on Sunday night?
I think they will be having a post production sale of a slightly used 100 series that went for a bit of a swim!
What a hoot. Russell is a true Bush Legend!
Cheers

That is 2 and maybe 3 to look out for. Wonder if they were rentals???

The one in the lake was cardboard, one needs a new bonnet and the other a cut and polish down one side.

So much Bull$hit.
The Yota on the side on
the beach still had the
water marks from being in the lake.
As said I think they ended up on the same beach they started from.

Hi ya Ray
I watch lots of movies and most of them have a small degree of credibility, but this was to stupid to be credible.
I loved the way he wrapped the snatch strap around the bull bar just before he pulled it off and landed in the lake.
Sorry also forgot the winch attachment to the muffler, No problem he Say's we will just put it back.
Wonder if that was the muffler off the yota in the lake / on its side on
the beach.

Just as
well the kangaroo was a cardboard cut out too, with it being set up for the croc to take it. You could see that about to happen. Saved having to take it to the wildlife
park I guess - if it hadn't been a cardboard one.
Think you were being a bit of a spoil sport John, just cos you are Diver John and notice some
water marks......... ;-)

Johno You would have to be blind to miss them.
Pretty obvious they had a 100 series body and shifted it from location to location as required.
"Cardboard Kangaroo" jeez that caught me it looked so real maybe I need Kangaroo spoting lessons.
The only thing missing was that other bull$hit artist Mr Steve Erwin.

Careful Ray the Nissan owners will take offense to that.
It couldn't possibly be a Nissan as they did not get a mention in the credits.

The camera crew drove Nissans. They had to be sure to get there first to take all the footage. :)

Oh
well, nissan or toyota I have to get some explosives for track
clearing, could have done with some the other day when we came across a
big tree blocking the track. It should create some easy firewood at the same time.
