unkle spike Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Glad to hear it was a good time, maybe one of these years.... And Dale, with your one wing in a sling, that only leaves one for beer, so the camera would have to be head mounted and triggered with your teeth, so we understand. Now get some rest so you heal up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Browne Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Great to hear it went well. Was on my way down with trailer in tow and got hit by an idiot who ran a red light. Car was bent, trailer is a mess and my smithing and camping gear was scattered all over. Lost some tongs and a hammer and my blower is now a heap of sh*t/broken, lots of camping gear was never found and what is left is now in a panel beaters yard waiting for me to get back to pick it up. Got back home about 10pm on Saturday night His excuse. He had driven down from QLD that night and was tired. Now it's my problem. I feel better after that little rant....................................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratel10mm Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Sorry to hear that Rob. Isn't it illegal to have no insurance? I hope the @*T*## is being done by the cops!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Browne Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Ratel, You need third party insurance not the property bit. My insurance will chase him but its a hassle I didn't want/need. Now just to get back there to pick up my stuff if it hasn't been nobbled out of the yard, it caused a lot of interest when dragged in. A friend has lent me their ute for Saturday so a quick trip is in order. Dale, The box bellows is underway already. Its something I can do in the evenings so shouldn't take too long. Might even see if I can set up a motor on it, now that would be a bit fancy See ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
