    Land Cruiser vs Kangaroo...

    Snotted Skippy coming out of nyngan last night, just what I wanted! Ended up losing the front plate so bodgied a laminated A4 with the numbers on it, I'll see what the average speed cameras have to say about that. Ended up being a 19 hour day, fun! Not sure the exact score but I think the cruiser won!
    Had a full trailer and he hopped out about 3 metres in front of me so no chance stopping! I did drag him off the road and check for joeys.

    Was your A4 effort the same alpha numeric order as the back?
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Hey, leave my work car alone! used my local connections to source a replacement cheaper than genuine Toyota, so boss is pleased about that.
    And I didn't have any trouble finding anything, it was all fairly neatly scattered over the road! Hard hit

    So it would seem. But I didn't know he was a he until I checked
    My D2 arb bar handled the one I hit of a similar size at a similar speed much better.

    Ouch I'm glad the damage wasn't worse. Based on long experience I would agree that one of the "brand" aftermarket bull bars would have handled it a lot better.

    Takes me back to Cobar late 80's and snotting a roo on the way to Dubbo in a Mazda 323. Thankfully nudge bar took most of the pain, but I then discovered how a town the size of Cobar kept 2 panel beaters profitably employed. Roos and WNSW go together

    Cheers

    Steve
