On the road as ussual today and stopped at a take-away
shop in Port
Melbourne for lunch. Parked next to me were 2 4by's, a stock Disco and a Pathfinder. I ordered my lunch and walked back to
the bench infront of the cruiser to eat. Half way through lunch , the question came.
Hey mate you taken that thing off road ?
or do you just like the look ?
Now here is a 80 , jacked off it's head , 35's shovels hanging off it .
I had to look around to make sure they were talking to me lol.
So I answer , Nah mate never been , is it any good?
So the next ten min. are spent with these guys telling me what hard core off roaders they are and that there vehicles go everywere.
I turned around and took another look at there cars , Yep stock , road tyres .
So i deside to ask , where can you go .
The next ten min are spent with these guys telling me about Gembrook. The only name main roads in Gembrook and not one track.
Then the best parts comes . We even had to pull out some guy 2 weeks ago who was stuck , a black GXL they state , some Toorak bloke with the number plate GXL.
Now I had to try hard to contain myself , since there talking about the supercharged GXL I built for a mate of
mine .
Anyway , I say nothing and wish them a good day and drive off , I call up my mate who ownes GXL to ask if he had recovered by these 2 blokes .
This is the best bit .
My mate laughs and says that he was recovered by another Landcruiser and remembers 2 blokes in similar cars sitting on the main track watching . After my mates car was clear ,the 2 caracters walk over and asked the guy who helped my mate , if it was safe to drive through the track ahead of them . All of the people there looked and wondered what the hell were they talking about . 2 sec later the penny dropped and they realised that they were talking about some
water that had gathered on the side of the main road. Then came the burst of laughted and these 2 blokes storming off.
I had to laugh and freaked about what a small world this is . I know its not the norm post for here but it made my day .
They say laughter is the best medicine
