$150k plus BMW X5 taken to Fraser Island, trying to beat the high tide, but failing.
Got very very very very very lucky to make it back to the barge.

At first thought everything was OK, apart from being stupid enough to take it to Fraser and drive back to the barge at high tide.

On closer inspection things weren't so pretty.

Low profile run flat tyres, so can't air down, blew out front and rear tyres on the trees that hang out the sand cos he didn't want to get the car wet

Had it slowed down or stopped when they blew out and bogged down in the sand with a rapidly rising tide, car would have been finished.

Made it off the barge and off the sand safety waiting for a tow truck, as he waves goodbye to $150 grand.
