Damb, 10 years since this happened.

Some of you that have been around for a while may remember, but its been 10 years (21/01/2012) since my GU had a little sleep on Moreton, its a event that changed my life forever, and has continued to change my life in so many ways, even to this day, 10 years on.

I spent years rebuilding the same car, and in Feb 2015, i took it back to the exact same spot on the beach (the same track actually never re-opened again)

Funny you say that, as the music was not my first choice, but the You Tube/Google compliance stick got waved at me for copyright infringement, BTW this was my first choice i had uploaded on the video (if your interested)........

Yeh, the whole story of events was quite unbelievable, but im proud to say i got it back on its wheels by myself, never give up on it, the Patrol will still get you home as it always has, even if it just needs a little help ;-)

Yeh , whats the chances of that, the Tow Truck organized to come pick the car up once i got to the mainland, itself has a crash on its way over, and we can't get another Tow Truck, so i had to drive the Patrol even further all busted up.

:p

Shoulda done a karaoke version 😛
