So who from weekend had the most damage

Ah, Maaaaaaaaa, see you are being your normal self. Any photos of the tartan blanket and donkey's straw hat this time? Sitting here amusing myself on the 'puter (while it's working) - can't go outside, can't see anything because of the dust storm that's come in from Mr Pesty's place. Supposed to be a cool change following - can't wait. Mungerannie has already reported the dust gone from there and cool enough not to have the a/c on. Bring it on. Noticed Callum has clothes on - must be a big boy now.

Hi Ruth

no pics of straw hats or tartan blankies, though Willie did take quite a nice pic of me on Saturday night even if he can't remember doing it...ahhahahaha...Callum is a big boy now and prefers to wear pants these days.

JohnR, you forgot to mention the poor old wildlife and a few of us that might need counciling after witnessing you in your speedo's, hahahaha.

Paul, like the little old lady watching a young attractive guy for an hour, you could have turned away. I did try to limit the best viewing to the Murray Cod.....

Good to see you got home safely, sorry we didn't get to see you off because we enjoyed your company with Baz, Mick and families and Peter. At least you are close to counselling in Canberra mate.

Was a pleasure meeting you both, look forward to catching up again some time..

Cheer's Paul..

How could you damage it? It was like driving on an Autobahn...

Could've gone bush on one of those catch-me-out corners on Pheeneys

yea but it wasnt wheelin'... :(

Itching to try those new lockers out eh....

How could you tell :P

Hey Ive said nothing :P~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh wat a feelin'...

Might drop over on Sunday if ya around. I'll bring my own coffee cup.. ;)~

Here ya go..

Silly question, but what actually let go and how did does this sort of damage happen

Besides the damage done, looks very lucky to have landed on the wheel. Imagine the front end hitting the dirt...............

non hightensile bolts holding front in. How does it happen, when a crowd is amassed and urging on the young combatant, they do silly things to impress the crowd... like jumping the car on rock hardbleep.

He actually rolled to that point, it started falling off about 20-50mtrs earlier. Lucky it didnt happen at 110k's hour or 2 earlier. he would be in a pine box as front would have dug in and fubared him totally..

Was thinknin about this incident today.

was it the 'topping' out that snapped the bolts? or the landing...??

And how many pieces is it in?

Mine got home too...

You see Bruce , Stopped in the middle of a hick town getting a lift in another car . Is called breaking down lol .

Mine is called maintenance . Got home , no stopping , no lift , no need to buy some chick a tank of fuel hahahaaha

mine still got me home cheapbleepgerman alternator or not... and is still running... Hows yours, been for a drive in it this week? I went wheelin on the weekend, did you :P and infact going this weekend...

Mines going well mate , going to Gembrook on Friday , Jam that one ;-)

and how much in repairs?? More than $140?

Did a full re build , new acl pistons , new bearings , new rails & chain . New head bolts , full gasket kit , crank balance check , re hone , cc head , 0 deck hight , $1000 parts , $ 400 in and out ,

Jam that

Build your diesel for that lol

Mine was off road for 24 hours.. How long for yorz :P

Simple yes or no answer...
Was yours off the road for longer than that?

Simple answer ? Did you make it home ? eventually ,

did your car stop ? Yes ,

did you spend over night at Jims ? Yes

Mine , home , one cylinder down , still till 110 all they way

what was wrong , simple ware and tare , old engine , Pull down your nissan when it wares out , new crank , re bore , 10 k ? maby if your lucky lol

You been to the joe bjelke peterson school of dodging a question? You still didnt answer the question. its a Boolean question, not asking for a debate.. its either Yes or No..

Mine was a simple 1/2 day off the road.. not a week+... Was also only a hunge$... not over a grand..

Also once the new batteries were in I could have driven home I think, since the alt gauge didnt drop at all in the klms I did, + havin the 2 others charged up as spares...

And yours is still in bits today :)~

Like bagging someone for his tyres been worn out , you just dont get it do you . Would you like to to use sighn language . Maby you will understand that .

Yes motor was due for rebuild , let me see you rebuild your diesel pump for the cost of my engine.

Goes back to original coment ,

Patrol never made it home
Pajero got home
Cruiser got home

Ill get you a tissue

If i could have , if I would have . heard it all before

You two sound like a couple of kids fighting in the kindergarten.

My Bat , Trucksters ball . You cant play

Mine got me home.. Mine actually got me to work for the following weeks too. Yours is still in bits. Correct? (doubt I'll get an answer from ol' Joe BP)

Mines gettin me away this weekend, yours is still in bits.. how long after the event? (doubt I'll get an answer from ol' Joe BP again)

Going to answer the question you have been dodging?
Was yours off the road for longer than 1/2 a day? (I know I wont get an answer from ol' Joe BP)

Mine broke down from a non Nissan part failing...
yoursbleepitself with Genurine Yota parts falling apart...
mine was a $100 repair and 1 day.. Yours was how long and how much?

Motor was due for a rebuild? It's only got 300,000klms on it... Oh thats right, petrol yota donk.

Seams like the fumes have gotten yo your brain finaly . or you dont understand english . When you need to rebuild your engine , I will wait for the phonecall . O Eric ,. Any contacts , my disisal will cost me 10 k and only 1 year warranty.

My answer . No worries brucy , eric to the rescue once again , My mates can do it for 9.5k lol

Thats my point , my engine with a piston issue got me home . Your pesly Altinator , let you down , Now get the kleenex and give up.

I think 350 k out of a petrol motor is not bad , especialy when its been on gas all its life . Cost less to run than your desesal and had heaps more grunt . ok , lets say I rebuilt it twicw in the cars life, thats 700 k . it will have cost me 3 k , 1.5 each time , Still beats your 10 K AT 500,000 IF YOUR BOX GETS THERE .

Hmmmm, maybe it's because you drive a quality vehicle. Not one of those Nissans or Toyotas!

Well i'm happy with it and thats all that counts eh !!
