Now that is borderline trolling. Do you really expect not to get negative responses to that comment?

Don't come crying to me when you get a bollocking from everyone about it...

Sorry, but you have obviously not driven in the outback, at dusk ,early morning, or at night. I stop short of saying your post is rubbish. But only just. Bob

You forgot daylight Bob. The only animal strike I've had in the Disco was a 5' 'roo (note not wallaby) a bit west of Kununurra at 15.00 hrs at a leisurely 80 kph. There was no hope of missing that kamakazi kanga, regardless of skill level.

In my opinion, five posters are just **** factor, it doesn't matter how tuff, tough or strong they are, they're still only bolted to a bit of tin that's going to bend.

I once helped a panel beater mate refit one of those pieces of crud to a Commodore ute after extensive repairs caused entirely by the lack of approach angle, when the car ventured into a table drain. Had the car not been fitted with a bar, or fitted with an approved bar, there would have been no damage.

Looks good Andrew.
