Thread: There are morons everywhere.

I had just finished fitting EL falcon fans to the old Rangie at about 11:30pm last night and thought I'd drive up and down the court a couple of times ... To get the engine up to operating temperature and verify the fans cycled on/off correctly.

Half way up the drive I hear a loud "BANG" .... Obviously my immediate thought is it was the LPG car I'm in .... But it was in the distance .... Maybe big caliber rifle ..... In our street Who would be firing one of them, there is to many houses in our area to be discharging firearms

Anyway I pass a car as I idle up the court .... It was kinda surreal ... like a movie .... I spot a grasss fire at the top of the court ... and another ... and another .... Oh ****, there is about 5 separate small grass fires going. That's way to many for me to handle. I nailed the old girl and hurtle up the 1st drive flashing high beam and holding the horn on ..... Nothing.... No lights, no-one comes out ..... I didn't know Range Rovers did power slides as she charges around the "U" shaped drive and back out to the street ...... Damn .... No phone on me .... I can see 4 houses, no lights... How the hell can no-one see what is going on out here ? If there was wind we'd have a bloody massive fire on our hands by now not 5 small grass fires.

So I nailed the go pedal flat to the floor .... hurtle back down the street to my place ... ring the firies .... 1 million and one questions, my brain is thinking "Massive bush fire now ... top of the street"... So I throw the phone at my wife and say "tell them where we are" ...... Flog the poor old rangie back up the court ... to hear the radiator fans cycle on as I jump out ... Well at least they worked ... I'd forgotten about them I spot 3 other poeple standing around watching the fires ... "We have rang the fire brigade" ..... Wow helpful neighbours or what ?? Are they waiting for marshmallows ??

So I point at the nearest house "GET A HOSE" .... he blankly looks at me "no-one home" .... "FIND A BLOODY HOSE ---------------->" IN THERE GO. I run to the nearest little fire and start stamping it out..... The other two standing aroudn watching .... copy me and start stamping the fires out... With 4 of us with actually got it out before the firies got there.

Talk about an eye opener. So here is the deal, if you come across a fire or something that isn't right .......... You just stand around in a group and watch

We found a home made fire bomb in the middle of the road. It looked like a bunch of sparklers tied together with something flammable contained in the middle of it. If I'd be 90seconds earlier, I'd have rammed those assholes off the road and beaten them to a pulp They want fire, I'll give them bloody fire. They could easily have killed people sleeping in there beds if this wasn't the first "still/wind free" night we have had in about 6weeks.

There has been firebugs around town for the last 3months lighting these fires. They are adults as they are driving, not kids.

I had a look in daylight today .... no wonder I thought it looked like a movies set with a ring of fire. There was 8 separate fires there from there home made little fire bombs.... 1/2 of them had burnt themselves out ( if there was wind to fan them it would have been a different story). I put a couple out and the others must have stamped the other couple out.

So now they know the crazy person with all the crappy old cars at the bottom of the court, really is crazy I guess

Just as well they dn't have half a brain. 1 Molotov cocktail would have set the whole area on fire in seconds. Just as well they have never read a book to know what one is I guess
