Some of you would be familiar with the post about how I had to eat humble pie after getting smashed by a V8TD cruiser ute.
WELL WELL WELL we had round 2 in the Under powered Patrol V'S Cruiser utes today
It goes like this....I was cruising down
Richmond Rd at Dean Park heading west to Penrith, sitting on about 75 in the 70 zone (do gooders don't bother!!) when a smoky old 70 sumfink ute flys past at warp speed spewing black smoke and P plate flapping in the breeze. Bloody ning nong I'm thinking THEN the lights at the
intersection with the M7 change to red.
Now I'm getting all excited as I start thinking HEY I could beat this one :), So I slide in to the lane that has to merge. At this stage there are 4 eyes watching the phasing of the lights like a hawk.... ITS ON
The arrow has gone amber, nows the time to get the revs up a bit, get the turbo spooled up............The lights go green
WELL I had him before I had to change gear then it just got better and better with every up shift, poor
young bloke not only had me get in front of him but 4 other cars did as
well!! LOL By the way judging by the smoke coming out the back of him he was giving it his all.
With this said and done I wanted to give him the "Landcruiser wink" but he would not have seen it, so had to settle for the "PATROL FINGER!!!"
So now its 1 all......can't wait for round 3 now
Cheers Stefan

So you passed a a
smokey old Cruiser, and your point is ?
I can pass you in my son's SV6, but that proves nothing.
Gee I wouldn't be excited at passing a Patrol, it's not that hard to do unless I'm in my 4wd LOL

You picked on a
smokey old cruiser! Hardly a fair competition.
I can remember telling one
young hoon in a Torana that I'd give him a drag any time as long as I could pick the place.
Ok he says, where and when
Simpson Desert in 3 days time I replied :)))))))

Footie,
He picked a
smokey old cruiser driven by a P plater, He probably forgot to mention that the cruiser was towing a fully loaded tandem trailer LOL

Reminds me of a
young bloke who I worked with when I was at
Batemans Bay. He was bangin' on about how slow my Patrol 4.2 diesel was (he had an XR6 from memory)..... I challenged him to a "race" to Moruya and back. I said I would be fair......he could pick the route we'd take to get there, so long as I could pick the route we'd take to get back!!! hahaha He knew the area (and the idea I had of coming back along the power line track); so he declined the offer. hahaha
I agree with the other blokes though.....not a good idea to get into dragging off another vehicle , even in a
smokey old diesel.... a little kid could come out of nowhere while you're concentrating on what the other bloke is doing etc.
Don't get me wrong; I was
young once and did more than my share of illegal driving and motor bike riding....hell, I was just about on 1st name terms with some of the ACT coppers back in the mid 70's.
So, I know where you're coming from and 30 years ago some ol' fart (like I am now) would have been flappin' his jaws at me if the tables were turned, so don't take it to heart.....us old blokes feel that we have a responsibility to save
young blokes from themselves. You'll probably feel the same way in 30 years time (if you live that long!!)
Cheers
Roachie ;-))

Stefan you forgot to mention that the 70 on which you exacted your revenge was NOT a TDV8 like the one that smoked you off before.
Hardly a satisfying revenge.
Nah, you're still sitting at the lights counting your bank balance to see if you can buy a THROBBING GREAT VEE EIGHT MATE.

I see your point totaly Roachie.
The race consisted of two diesel slugs
gunning it up to the speed limit, on a duel lane road with no houses for several Km's and fields on the side with perfect vision all round. I am going through the process of teaching my step son the fine art of "there is a time and a place" right now.

Roachie, the true tragedy is when you attain the OFD monniker. OFD=Old Fart Driver. I have recently noticed that when left to my own devices I look down and am sitting on 90kmh on the open road. Inwardly disgusted I SPEED up to 100 and set the cruise.
Oh My I admonish myself over a Horlicks, with my blanket over my knees watching Dad's Army on Austar. You are turning into your grandpa!
