Found this old pic - thought it looked cute

My son and his best mate couldn't outlast the car trip.
Mine is the one with the short hair.

I agree, whole heartedly!
It would be a very nasty situation in an accident:(

x 2...kids that age should be in proper child restraints



You think that is bad??

A Landcruiser was pulled over here last week with SEVENTEEN people in it :eek:.

Unregistered, unlicenced driver, no seatbelts worn by anyone, 9 kids and 8 adults on board.

I remember as kids jumping around the back seat as a kid and rolling around in the back of a wagon. was great fun as a kid . millions of kids done it years ago but for some reason if it's done now days its a really bad thing ....... ya sticks in the mud :D:D:p:p:p:wasntme::angel: ...... joking guys :p

That sounds like something pre-seat belts in the 60's. We would regularly pile 5 kids and 4 adults into the car to go to the beach on a Sunday.

Yep, but you were still only half way to the number of people they had on board!

Did the LC have any windows left in?
That is another thing those people do....

I haven't seen pics, so I can't comment.

I will say that if I had to travel in one of those vehicles, I would hope the windows were all gone to allow some fresh air through...

The vehicle was a ford bantam bakkie (UTE i thinks u call em) which belonged to my neighbour so only has one passenger seat belt.
At least it was fastened not like so many people driving with kids completely unrestrained out here.
I guess sometimes you make do with what you have.

My old series bus only has front restraints but I only reach 45 mph on a downhill with a tail wind so I guess accidents are rarely likely to hapen.

Amazing how threads take on a life of their own sometimes;)

Should we ask ethnicity or would that be racist?

I have always suspected that my son was borderline narcoleptic. From birth to now, he is alseep within 5 minutes of getting into the vehicle.

Bit of a worry as he is now on Ls and getting his license soon.

[numpty]

Ours used to go to sleep as soon as the road got really rough. It's amazing where a child can sleep.

Very Cute! :):)

Hi Diana

No, havn't touched it yet nor got back to me. Seems we must always call them to get an answere.
Left already a message a few days back - no reply:mad:

I don't think it would be racist to describe them as being of Aboriginal descent. I couldn't vouch for what % true Aboriginal they were though.
