Today Mick in his Coooonty and i went for a fang up in the yarra ranges.....

Well one track that i dont know was a tad to steep and slippery, winch was used and we opted to turn around after a good crack at this hill.....
I found a wash out to turn on i had just for the front arround parallel when i relised i would not be able to turn down the hill as a tree was on my drivers side....

So what did i do???

Drive down the hill and i used the tree to pivot me from a 90 deg angle to the right direction.... Yes it caused damage, but lucky the tree was nice a soft... so it just mashed the tree more than grommet's side panel...

I really had no choice... but it was a good lesson.

When your in the Sheit.... blame something else...

No pix and no more info....

Boring Ehh....

With all the strips it looks a bit outa place in the hills and trees, looks like it should belong in Africa.

Yeah rumour has it you like trees so much that you cut some up:cool:
I hope you had a permit to cut and remove the firewood from the forest:p

some have said the panel damage occured when the stripes went on. Personally I like it though.

Of course we did. :) And we didn't cut any trees down, they were already down (in the cache) that the loggers had left there for the public.;)
