hi everyone, we had a great weekend and it was fantastic to meet some new people and enjoy time with lovely friends. The Glayva incident I shall never forget, and I'm not sure what was more surprising, a lap full of Glayva because the bottom of the glass "fell off" or Willie offering to suck it up !!
We had an eventful drive
home, travelling down the Carwarp Rd, an emu ran out from the side and ran into the side of our car. No one in the car saw it happen, we just heard a loud bang, and Al stopped thinking he'd somehow hit a branch or a
rock, as he got out he saw an emu running into the scrub and on closer inspection of the damage there was some emu plumes stuck to the car. The two driver side doors have dents espcially the rear, it was lucky that it blindsided us as Al said he would have reacted differently had it come out in the front of him, as it was he didn't react at all until we heard the bang and he stopped. So after
easter it'll get fixed....
Thanks to everyone who came along, thanks to Eric for being the organising member and for the doof doof...ahhahahaha...Glenn thanks for help in the planning and a great drive on Saturday...and Willie...thanks for the wet sticky pants...hahahahhaha.....
cheers all
Lyn

and here was me thinking that this sort of thing only happened over here in the great sticker god's
home state.....lol
same thing happened to us when the patrol was still very
young,,,,,tho the emu didnt get up,,,,,ever. :( .
insurance company wasnt a problem,,,,just the dumb assesor who reckoned that i bent the step down,,,,,hahah
drivers door and passenger door, as
well as the plastic guard were all replaced.
funny thing with those emu's,,,,when they hit ya,,,they hit hard.
we reckon ours was because it saw such a yewbeaut shiny patrol, that it wanted a closer look....lol
