My son went with his mate for a play in the bush.

He said i don't know where we will end up but we're going to Menai.
I warned him that it is illegal to be out there without permission but he is 20 and an adult, what do i know?

An hour or 2 goes by and he SMS's me a pic of a stripped 80 series.

...another 15 minutes go by and he SMS's me a pic of a drowned Four runner. I said please don't tell me that is you 2 stuck in there......it was......and that is how i spent my Saturday night instead of watching Manly kick some Kiwi's.....GRRRRRR!!!!

Bloody Kids.....And to think I'm the one who wanted them....

Hi Waynepd,
It's worst if they rescue you like my young bloke had to the other day,Because they always have a mobile phone with camera with them and then put photos on every forum they can find HaHaHa.Image Could Not Be Found Image Could Not Be Found Image Could Not Be Found Image Could Not Be Found Image Could Not Be Found
Not a bad effort for a little truck.
Cheers Dave...

Take solice in the fact he will spend the next week drying everything out (getting rid of the smell of that water yuuukk!!) and generally learning a very healthy respect level of what his truck can and can't do. Better for it to happen there than 800 miles from nowhere.

Sorry you missed a very good game, Melb will strugle next week if this week is anything to go by.

Cheers, Trevor.

Yeh this was the mate's car.
It has no snorkel so it got a gutful of water. Luckily its a petrol. He had flattened his single battery trying to winch out with a stopped motor.....When I got there a kind soul in a GQ had snatched it onto dry land. Thanks Ryan whoever you are....

I said to the son's mate right where's your plug socket? DUH at home!!!
You are going to need a torch soon yeh DUH that's at home too .
I am very glad I had installed some reversing/work lights a few weeks back they came in very handy...
Connect my jumper leads ...pulled the plugs and kicked it over....cylinders 3 and 4 were like little water canons.

WD40 in cylinders and carby and dissy......crank....crank....crank....crank....nothing except the smell of burning jumper lead. Been meaning to get a bigger set.

Used his snatch strap to tow start, fired up and ran for about 10 minutes spaying water out the arse end....then it died again and would not start at all.

Emptied water out of the Mongoose alarm box under the dash, engine fuse OK just about ready to call a tow truck when we noticed the lead from the battery to the coil was flopping around loose. BINGO....off it goes spraying water and steam all over the place.....Got home in time to see the 2nd half of the footy and have a couple or 5 bundys...

Well i believe they should experience the dark side before they earn the right to live in the light LOL.

Actually to be fair, its a tuff little bugger i fully expected it to be "roo ted" after the 15 km drive home but its still a goer this arvo so full marks to yota in this case.

Now waiting for the musty, muddy smell to set in hehehehehehehe, serves him right.
