I thought I'd start a thread about a good deed that we've all done - something that has helped someone in their time of need.

I'll start by describing my obvious experience. A troll helping a tojo. lol.

I was :icon_driving: on a country WA road, in the middle of nowhere, with a high rise Tojo rental about a km infront of me. Neither of us were in a hurry,
so we were cruising on about 90k's.

I came over the crest of a hill and there it was - parked up with a flat tyre.
:jawdrop: :jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop:

I said: "Do you know how to change a tyre?"
They replied: "Nuh" :icon_bonk:

So there we were, just over the crest of a hill, in a 110kmh speed zone, on double white lines, changing a tyre.
Lucky for me, I was carrying my hi-vis vest! Damn. Left my flexing spandys at home and had to improvise with regular shorts. lol

After it was over, they did offer me a bottle of red. I respectfully declined and they weren't offended when I told them I don't drink.

So, after rechecking the wheel nuts to make sure they were tight, 5k's down the road, for the next 85k's, I followed them to the next town
and they told me they would stay there overnight until the tyre place opened up the next day, so they could get it fixed and carry on.

That's my story. :icon_victory: How about yours??????

Take care out there.

Not sure it's officially a good deed anymore if you talk about it!!! lmao

Short and sweet and already on here moons ago (posted by the guy I helped).

Young fella out on some tracks a long way from fuel. Flexed too much and tore the petrol tank open and was dead set p!ssing fuel out, so I rushed up to assist - he didn't have tools on him, and not enough LPG to make the trip back, so I jumped under the truck and after a bit of hunting, my missus found an old rubber thong. Cut a wedge out of one side and used it as a plug in the tank, cut a strip from the other side to use as a sort of bandage to hold the plug in place, and then tie wired the whole thing in place around the tank. Stopped the flow to a dribble. But not before I was doused in petrol ...

He left, he got home, and he then joined the forum - Blazza. Has one of the nicest lifted and modded GU wagons I've seen ...

Where are you Blair?? Been a while!!

Wasnt me, but was very touching.
supermarket Sat, an old lady at the checkout counting out her change to pay for her things as they do. The woman in front who had just gone through the checkout handed the operator $20 and said thats to pay for the old ladys groceries and give the change to her as well.
The old lady didnt hear what had just happened and continued counting her change out, the checkout operator told her, no that lady just paid for your things, the old lady was quite confused and overwhelmed by her generosity, Then the operator handed her the change and the old lady said no thats not mine i didnt pay for the items, the operator said the lady told me to give you the change as well. Confused and overwhelmed the old lady said are you sure, no-one has ever done anything like that for me before.
Poor old dear didnt know which way to turn, but was a very touching moment knowing there are still descent people in our dog eat dog society.
