Bottom line is - did you enjoy it? Yes? Then it doesn't matter what other think mate. I know we disagree on some stuff but don't sweat others not liking the things you do - life's too short. While I'm not the biggest fans of these guys - I did see the funny side to it - reminds me of some of the pranks me and my mates played on each other when we were a bit younger. :)Quote:

I'm sure you've never had any fun or done anything dumb in your life... If that is actually true, then I won't go into how boring your life must be...Quote:

Hi,
Yes I enjoyed the video, thanks for posting it.
The laxative antics may of course have been staged, I hope. Having once been a victim of that prank, believe me, it isn't funny.
The extreme driving? Interesting to see what they can get through and their ability to self rescue, it is all a learning experience for me. That also includes recognising what I won't attempt.
I feel that we, as 4wd track users, should insulate ourselves from potential criticism and having administrative measures restricting our access to places by not always being seen to be degrading tracks to the point that only extreme vehicles can use them.
If we want to use the tracks, we should be seen to be respecting and reparing them, or we will lose them.
Cheers
Well....
I always think it's the same group of people who abuse some substance/law and then when the government react, complaint about nanny state
Laxative will cause diahoriea and this can lead to dehydration, hypotension and also most importantly electrolyte imbalance, particularly when driving long distance.
Because the driver may not be able to hydrate enough during driving but also replenish the potassium (K+) in blood serum.
Once you reach a certain degree of imbalance then it can only be corrected with IV. Also low level of potassium can also leak to cardiac arrest
So yeah maybe you should take a full medical history before giving the laxative.
Finally it's not okay to drug your friend.
Play some jokes have fun? Just make clear your intention is for YOU to have fun? Or for your friend(?) to have the fun.
Until on day a retard drug his friends with laxatives in canning stock route and drain all their water/not enough water/his friend has renal problem.
Then laxative will require a script and gp will have to explain the side effects. And some guys will ask why can't I have some fun?By watching my friends pant turning brown
Cheers
Martin
