Bugger ! My new 130 has a name... find out why !

Bugger ! My new 130 has a name...

Names for vehicles come in many ways, but usually a name just springs to mind that "suits" it.

Of course there are exceptions when my mad mate called my last Defender "Doris" :mad:

Anyway, a day at Crystalvale and my new 130 HCPU has a name (thanks Chris)


Perhaps it's because it's like a faithful old dog, or perhaps some other reason but his (her?) name is .....


"Rolly"

I like the name it's just the reason I wasn't so keen on.....

What's the damage, and the story.:)

That's not Rolly - that's "Sleepy" or possibly "40 winks", maybe even a "Siesta" but definitely not a roll!!!

Diana:D:D:D

[Utemad]

Ouch. That has to be the quickest purchase to roll in AULRO history :(

[VladTepes]

Ouch is bloody right !

[George130]

:eek:
Much Damage?
How did it happen.

[hiline]

c'mon Vlad

fess up mate WTF happened :eek:

[muddy]

looks like its marking its territory

[VladTepes]

:eek:
Much Damage?
How did it happen.

1. Roof, pax door, windows pax side, canopy, side steps, sill panel few side mirror, few other bits and bobs. Suprisingly little... considering the potential.
2. Slowly.

[Grizzly_Adams]

Was Michelle in it at the time? Is everyone ok?

[Utemad]

I'm sure you insured it so there shouldn't be anything to worry about. As much as you must be close to tears about the situation.

A guy in our 4wd club rolled his Hilux (over and over - write off) and NRMA paid him out.

[LandyAndy]

Sad!!!,Glad you are all OK.
VLAD THE LANDY SLAYER!!!!!
Andrew

[VladTepes]

Mrs Vlad wasn;t in at the time (by sheer luck she'd deided to have a chinwag and not come on that hill!) and noone was injured and I am insured so yeah put it down to bad luck.

[Outlaw]

Geez maybe shoulda come down a day early to catch up with our guys :p:p:p

Just kidding... bad luck for sure... where did it happen? I've written off a vehicle rolling it down a hill there... and almost had a few other roll-overs with a couple members too.

Glad all okay though :D

[VladTepes]

Dunno what its called - theres a valley with kind of a little dam thingy at the bottom and various tracks (including 'big red?) going up in all directions

[weeds]

bugger.....

[adm333]

Think it was hill number 28. Thats what was on the sign I stuck back in the ground after it was "righted".

Folks.... it can happen to anyone and with little warning.

Thankfully everyone was OK (except of course Rolly).

The score today.... gravity and physics 2, Land Rovers nil.

[stevo68]

Geez mate, maybe you need to come and do the GCLRO Driver Training Course :p:Rolling:. Funny must be something about QLD presidents of Land Rover Clubs, ours has a habit of all sorts of things as well :misclock::bangin:,

Regards

Stevo

I think the quote of the day was....

"Well if thats what can happen to the president, what's going to happen to a lowly surf like me....."

[dobbo]

It could have been worse, glad your ok

[Captain_Rightfoot]

Michael. Sooo sorry to see :Thump::Thump::Thump:

[sadbenn]

:eek:
bad news about "rolly" hope she gets her land legs back into shape real soon.....:oops2:......
:thumbsup:......good that you and mrs V are both ok.
stef & dave

[incisor]

vlad!

glad to hear all are okay.

hope it all works out okay....

[Phoenix]

Bloody hell mate!! Whatever happened to taking it easy with a new vehicle??

How did the missus react? Worse if she had been in there I expect.

[87County]

It could have been worse, glad your ok

ditto - glad it wasn't worse

still trying to figure out (for self education) the cause... were you sliding backwards at the time?

Laurie

[CraigE]

Vlad, that had to hurt your pride more than anything.:o
Glad it was not worse.
Looks more like a Dopey than a Rolly, but could also be Grumpy.:p

It got tired and had a lie down, so I'd go for "sleepy"

At a guess, most likely wrong, weight distribution of the vehicle is different to what Vlad is used to. I found the same driving my 110 as opposed to my disco offroad. Plus observing George130 driving plus a previous 130 i went 4wding with in the past, the 130's crew cabs have to take different lines to the 110's due to this.

You buggers always pick these tracks that the 130's can't take. We can put our front wheels in the same spot but the back doesn't like that idea. In a 130 you tent to take the corner wider as the back cuts in further or I'm not going fast enough to get the slid right:twisted:.

[VladTepes]

Well it has to be "Rolly" I think coz 1. It's a cooler name and 2. I dont think it can be chamged !

[JamesH]

Sorry to hear your bad news, Vlad. I didn't even know about the new vehicle so never got to congratulate you on the good news.

Are you keeping the 110? How many kms on it?

[Redback]

That's a bugger, glad knowone was hurt, amazing how things can go pear shaped so quickly.

Hope it's not too expensive to repair.

Not My Problem if 20 odd km's of beach isn't wide enough for a 130 :D

[adnic]

this one up man ship has to stop!!lol.
seriously though were you guys ok?
what do you need to fix it?
ad

[VladTepes]

Check my sig line James - not a TD5 in sight !

Ad - I need for Suncorp to whisk it away and give it back fixed !

[CraigE]

Ah, Vlad Tepes and the seven dwarfs.
:p:p

[jimbo110]

Ah, Vlad Tepes and the seven dwarfs.
:p:p
Ah..........................so you've seen the picture of him in the white dress too..........................:wasntme:

[harry]

oooh sad to see, know where you did it,
i nearly creamed the disco in frog hollow while relieving my boredome with all the others being bogged, sorta wanted to go back around and try the bog hole again and see if i could have got through the second time, didn't work.
hope the insurance covers the damage.
are you insured for divorce as well?

[VladTepes]

jimbo - GGF

harry - insured for divorce ? Now there's a concept.

[jimbo110]

jimbo - GGF
Wheres a moderator when you need one, this man should be :nazibanned:


























































Oh thats right, he is one, BUGGER!



Still wondering about the crossdressing though:wasntme:

[Tyrepower]

Oh dear, Vlad. I like Andy's name for you though. "Vlad the Landy Slayer'
I bet the lady chewed your ear for a couple of days after. At least it's only pride and metal, not bones and body that got hurt. Not counting the grief from HWMBO.
Cheers Richard.

[Aaron]

There is no damage without pics!

[Captain_Rightfoot]

Check the first post :D:D

[lnd130]

my golden retriever lays down like that sometimes a gentle kick in the guts will usually get her up

[jik22]

Look on the bright side. You can jetwash underneath it properly now. ;)

[RonMcGr]

mate,

I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Sh*t happens and in the most unlikely places.

Over the years I've seen a few Army jobs put on their side. It really helps to clean underneath and inspect for damage and rust :D

The interesting part is most started and continued on after :)

I would have left the battle scars in place.
That way parking spots are always yours and no one will try to **** you off :)

There is a bright side to every situation.

Cheers,
