drowned defender

[weeds]

wayne from the forum asked me to posts these pics

It is photos of a drowned Defender that a mate took.
Apparently the guy was drinking heavily all day doing do-nuts and tearing up and down the beach. At 2am in the morning he finally drowned the defender and was so drunk he was almost incoherent.

This photo was taken at Waddy Point,. After a few dramas it was taken away on a tilt tray the next afternoon.

No snorkel either. *Not* good.

:eek:

And looks like it's the SVX...a fool and his money are easily parted

That didn't last long.

I wonder if he wants to sell the Recaro's.

:eek:

And looks like it's the SVX...

.

how can you tell.....the mags?

[Slunnie]

I guess he'll be having a few regrets for being such a xxxxhead. :rolleyes:

[dmdigital]

Back wheel is a standard boost rim, so not an SVX. Still its a Puma so its not that old. Let's hope whoever owned it doesn't buy another Land Rover - or any other vehicle for that matter - I've got no time for drunk drivers.

The rear RHS badging and the last side shot shows the bonnet bulge.

well bugger me.....anybody for a cheap puma

[weeds]

rear ladder....no roof rack, smashed window, passenger mirror

Yes I am mistaken.

A Puma but not an SVX and the rear brake light is not an LED.

[JDNSW]

I wonder if he was the owner? (stolen, borrowed, dad's?)

John

[Jay]

Not really Land Rover owner behavior......

[carjunkieanon]

Anyone from here??? (Keeping shtum)

Surely we know every one who bought an Puma

[Dinty]

G'day All, What a clown, cheers Dennis:angel:

[Chucaro]

I hope that he is the owner and that the LR is not insured so he will be out of the roads for a while :mad:

[QUOTE=Numpty's Missus;850986]The man doesn't deserve to own a Defender :mad:


true.....& as said one thing that i detest are irrisponsible drivers.I feel for the piece of pommy machinary....what a waste.

I have still got a couple of pics of a paj we came across on Moreton island a few years back,had rolled many times on the beach,lots of donuts,full of beer cans,keys still in the ignition,occupants weretaken away on careflight chopper....they didnt all survive:(

Some people will never learn.

[Captain_Rightfoot]

WOW. Some people don't deserve cars.

[cewilson]

Wonder what he wants for the seats and rear ladder?

[TD5_Fender]

I wouldn't mind getting the back door if it wasn't in salt water:D what any absolute tool!!!

[Captain_Rightfoot]

Its hard to see what will be salvageable from it. All the electronics will be fried, the mechanicals might have a few salvageable bits, and only the alloy panels could be saved.

[defmec]

bags the bonnet:D

[Rangier Rover]

Bloody Red Neck:angel:

[FenianEel]

Pretty sure this was the same one that was auctioned at Pickles

I believe they are steel on the new ones. It might not be salvageable.

Oh I dunno, windows are clean and the roof rack looks pretty schmick:D

[Captain_Rightfoot]

That's a point. The glass would be ok except for the rear window. :)

[Shonky]

STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPID!

[Rangier Rover]

Ah what are you all on about;) I had my Rangie that far into salt water:angel: I just hossed it out for hours:twisted: Ive still got it:) I guess the old Rangies are tougher than them new fenders:p:p

[scarry]

The old man had a new series 3,in the late seventys,company car,had the 2.6 petrol engine.It spent a night & most of a day stuck in Elie ck on Fraser island.The sea went right over it twice:eek:

Anyway,two weeks later it was back on the road going fine.:)

We renamed it the yellow submarine.

I will have to dig out the pics.

[Bundalene]

When was the pic taken?? A vehicle like this went through the auctions in Brisbane about 2 weeks ago. A mate tells me there is a similar vehicle at a wrecker just south of Nambour.

It's definitely the same one. I remember the broken window and ladder.
The ad did mention some water damage ...


Paul

[EchiDna]

yikes... still as the saying goes, a fool and his money (in this case new defender) are soon parted.

hope the idiot didn't have insurance and ends up with a 50k loan to pay off...

what a tossa!

[Captain_Rightfoot]

Out of interest apparently Eli Creek is more difficult than usual at the moment.

Fraser conditions report (http://www.epa.qld.gov.au/publications/p01663aa.pdf/Fraser_Island_conditions_report_last_updated_7_Nov ember_2008.pdf)

Did I mention it's one week tomorrow until I go there :D:D:wasntme:

[GuyG]

Captain, if you like fishing you'll be glad to hear that there have been reports of Taylor being caught up to 90cm:eek: in length - now you just have to find them

A workmate went up there two weeks ago and apparently caught 5kg tailor off the beach at Waddy Point. Now I didn't know tailor got that big... maybe she mean pounds... but either way apparently there are some fish around at the moment. :)

They will no doubt be gone by the time I get there though :(

[Landy110]

The bloke who drove that beautiful machine to ruin should be in the first batch to go up against the wall when the revolution comes !!!:mad:

[sniegy]

Its NOT an SVX, but is a Puma/TD4 diesel.

Standard alloy wheels & the rear tail lights are colored. SVX has clear versions for all tail lights.:)

Cheers

[Shonky]

This is one instance where I agree, that the Captain should sink with his 'ship'.

Hoons like that belong in utes, wear cowboy hats and go to B&S balls:mad: D...H...! That sort of rubbish gives everyone of us a bad name!!!!!

I don't go to B&S balls but I do love a ute and I have 5 akubras! I took two on my last trip up north. The Territory for thev East Kimberly and Territory and the Stony Creek for cattle stations.

Are you trying to say hoons in over powered rice burners with a base ball cap on side ways, a turbo fitted with blow off valve, Exhast that sounds like a billy goat farting in a jam tin and Sub woofer going at 200 db:p

[BigJon]

Guess you blokes are hoons then :D:D:D:D


You got me :D:p:twisted:

[Tulip]

Some people shouldn't be allowed to own a Defender! I was mortified to see that picture!
