    Ooooooooooooh The Embarrassment

    Talk about feeling really silly. My wife had organised an overnight camping trip to celebrate a duel birthday of two of her friends.

    The setting was Greens Lake, only about 40 mins from home. The lake level was very low - but nice enough.

    I thought I would go for a drive around it on the sandy banks. All going well until I come up against this very small (and by small I mean less that 6 inches wide) water crossing. I thought that should be easy enough without thinking that the sand mud for a meter either side would be a bit boggy.

    The front went in - and just sank up to and past the axles............I was well and truly bogged........................and the
    Embarrassment was...........................................

















    Being pulled out by a Nissan Navara thing, oh the shame

    And he took pictures of his 'sucessess'

    Look at it this way
    Landys arent invincible niether are you!
    So when you get bogged you know what to do!
    Call your mate with his Landy!
    And it will all turn out Dandy!
    Cause if you hang around and wait for a Nissan
    When you explain you dont need a camera They sure wont listen!

    Sorry about the rhyming i didnt mean it...............Honest

    Okay to add insult to injury, but the pic's are not action pics. Just one of where the ilustrious bogging took place and some pics of the car wheels after the extraction.

    The funny looking bird standing near the car is the misses, the one sitting in the ford isn't
