Yeh I suppose but I have been told that if you herd them into a group they get distracted and don't even know you are there.

Had another car go in the ditch below the house today.

If only Mrs D shut the bloody curtain when getting dressed after a shower

Heres pics ..... of car

Went up on an angle from the right (2nd gear low range), wee bump on the steepest bit and she took off backwards with the wheels going forwards. Grabbed reverse and eventually managed to swing it round and back out of it just here:



Wasn't far off going all roly-poly! Couple of years back but I still remember it fairly well.

Nearly cleaned out a horse on friday night too, clever animal decided it was a good idea to stroll across SH1 about 20m in front of me.

The esses off the front straight? It does feel a fair bit tighter through there than it looks from trackside, and the corner arrives pretty quick!

I dont have any photos but my and my mate got stuck down by the river once, We shot a deer in the morning threw it in the back of the rodeo(crappy holden 2wd) and took it to the chiller then thought we would try our luck for a trout,also wash out the back of the ute. We backed down this little road to the river and started fishing then water started rising so we were outies. a quick wash then into the ute start going up then it started skidding and going back to the river. Lucky for us one of the local farmers was taking some stock down the road said he would be back later with his tractor to pull us out. Its funny he didnt wonder what 2 young guys are doing with a truck any way. anyway he came back and tried pulling us out with this old rope but it snapped, so we went over the road to the metal pit there and took some bailing twine off the screen that was there and that shit pulled us out. since no photos heres some awesome painting to give you idea

Excellent work there Toby!

Same thing here, we were skidding over the top of the rocks it pushed them behind the tyre then sunk in the mud,

Shame it wasn't a gal, Night time gets cold you could do with some warming up
