$15 to prevent a Ranger drowning

[LandyAndy]

I went on an overnite fishing trip with my Bro last nite.
This bloke decided to bog himself between us and the ocean on an incoming tide.
I wasnt interested in his plight and made him sweat.
Firstly,you dont drive where he was driving on an incoming tide.He had highway pressures.He had no recovery gear.He was way too close to our camp,you dont do that on a beach,you keep away from peoples camps.He rushed us to dismantle our camp to free a recovery vehicle(the D1) using our recovery gear.After recovery he slaps me with $15 saying you to fellas go to the pub and have a beer.
He could have helped put the camp back together that HE mostly pulled apart.$15 dont buy many beers over the bar compared to a brand new Ford Ranger becoming a water feature.
The Ranger

Our Camp


Water was lapping at his tyres when we pulled him out on the first snatch.
WHAT A WALLY,and he was a LOCAL too.

No need to look on Redbook Andy.

You know the value of a Ford Ranger.

Was BRAND NEW
No recovery points/bullbar either,had to go backwards(just as well).He wanted us to hook onto the towball,made him wait whilst I found a spanner to release the anti rattle bolt,he had no tools to do it.

Classic...but it wasn't a Toymotor so it doesn't count

I came across a bloke traveling by himself that drove straight into the seaweed at Israelite...oops...his D-Max would have made a nice water feature too if we werent there

Ditto about the tyre pressure too..we came across another bunch of people out at Israelite in the brand new Pajero's, and 40lbs in the tyres...boy they made hard work of it!

Gets to the point where all you want to do is "smile and wave boys.....just smile and wave"

WOW $15, drinks are on you then?
getting really sick of these people going in at full tyre pressure, sure some will make it but they only make it harder for those behind them after they churn up the beach

Wouldnt get many drinks out of $15!!!!
One would have thought it was worth at least a carton not to have to deal with the insurance mob.
