    I towed a Toyota CAMRY off Stockton Beach this evening.

    I towed a Toyota CAMRY Sportivo off the beach this evening .... dickheads!

    Yes, a CAMRY!! It's almost dark, and I'm coming off the beach and, what's this!?? It's about 1km from the entry to the beach ... they only got there because the sands wet & hard ... and I'm surprised they actually got that far considering it had BIG oversized rims & rubber band tyres and NO ground clearance 5 dark coloured chaps ... only 1 spoke english. What were they thinking?

    It's almost dark, and it seems everyone's left the beach, so I ducked home and got my recovery bag ... only to find there's NO TOW POINT on the front of the car (which is belly hard in the sand) ... there was 2 at the rear (but not the front?? not smart toyota!), so I had to sling the back end and drag them around and out backwards for about 3/4km ... they're lucky I'm such a nice bloke or they'd be there all night. Grease the palm fella's $$$

    A Camry on Stockton Beach ... now I've seen it all. Idiots! No didn't have my camera with me, it was a last minute thing, which is why I didn't have the recovery bag.

    Tourist. Bah!

    I just can't begin to imagine what goes through the brain of some of these people. Aren't there signs there that say "Four Wheel Drive Only"???? But commonsense would tell you that two wheel drive and sand is not a good mix!!!

    There was a XD falcon wagon up there last christmas, he tried to follow us up the back dunes at Buribi end.

    Seen a 2wd Rodeo ute bogged to the arse at the first lagoon, and dragged some Honda pretend AWD off lavis a month or so as well.
