The water line was six inches or so below the bonnet, and he was nearly clear of the deepest part, when a tool in a much bigger fourby came tearing down the track and drove headlong into the crossing. The bow wave swamped my mates car and pushed it into deeper water. He was able to drive out and was bloody lucky he had the air vents closed.
Which is why I carry a 25 mm thick lump of steel in the cab , you'll do it to me once then I'll learn ya .

Im on FB, but rarely stick my head in on any pages except for the JD collectors pages. Zero nastyness in there. We're all to drunk to hammer anyone.
As for Jacks mate. A real bummer that is. FB is full of people who know it all and every detail of the issue that wasn't told, Dunno how they know this but theres some magical thing that must tell them.
I expressed my concern a while back of some dickheads ripping up a campsite on a page, the amount of haste towards me for speaking up was unbelievable. I just removed myself from those pages now. Lifes too short for that shit.
FB does have its uses.

Mate it does have its uses for sure. But there is way too many flogs on there for sure, so you do need to expect negativity to be at the upper end of extreme on particular pages. If you do post something up on any of the 4wd pages, think of the worst possible comment you could ever imagine you might get to your post, then time that by 10000 and your pretty much close.
The collectors pages, like I hang out on, all positives there bud.
Face Book should be called Flog Book IMO.
