Mad Max!!!!!!

Yeppy, looks like Greenback to me. And thats not the only one down here like that.

you can take an Australian out of Australia ...

BUT, you CAN"T take the ROAD WARRIOR of an Australian !

Those Aussie Roo catchers would be a blessing to protect against the deer here, if only they weren't so Uuugly. Do they come in a stealth model? The deer had become a major problem here in my part of the state. I know and have known many folks that have had major car damage some were even had the vehicles totaled out from running into deer! I,myself have had three encounters, I killed a 12 pointer with 71 Dodge Charger, Charger got minor damage to the top of the drivers side fender. Second encounter I was driving back to Rome from Calhoun in a 68 Dodge Coronet at or maybe a bit above the speed limit when I saw what at first I thought was a large dog running down the inside median of a four lane Hiway. I had already started slowing down when the deer suddenly ran in front of my car. I locked up those old drum brakes and was already started ducking down behind this dash thinking this would not be good. I saw the deer drop below my field of vision and was expecting that any second I would be hearing the sound of bumper grille and hood being damaged! Then I saw a shadow seemingly fly over the windshield. There was a couple with a small (pre teen) child that was about 50 yds behind me that began flashing his headlights so I pulled over (almost needed to shake my britches leg out any way) The kid was overexcited "that deer jumped over your car" all big eyed. The dad said I sure was lucky, started to tell him maybe, but my shorts weren't, and would have if his wife and kid weren't with him. Coronet 0 deer 0 both let unscathed. My final encounter I was going to work before daylight just 30 yds from my driveway when I saw a deer running to cross the road was driving a 86 Ranger missed the first one but another one running behind the first ran into my door. It ran away and with the assistance of a plumbers help popped the dent right out so this encounter was a draw too!

Sorry to ramble on so, those Roo catchers just trigger some old memories I thought I would share.

that is what happens when you give someone J C Whitney gift certificates for christmas.

i just threw up in my mouth...a LOT!

TR, I really have got off easy compared to other folks I know. The Ranger door just popped out using the plunger. The Coronet could have had a bad ending I was lucky. On the Charger incident I was 22yrs. old and had spent way too much time at a Tavern about 2 miles beyond a local college. My first thought was that I had somehow hit a student walking home from the tavern. I immediately pulled over expecting the worst! A man in a jeep stopped also, asking if I wanted the deer. I was so glad to see it was not a student, and said nope it is yours if you want it. Kinda of shown a new light on the dangers of driving under influnce. mostly always found a ride or limited my consumption after that!

I am glad we all agree he did what he wanted, now can someone explain to me WHAT IN THE HELL he wanted? Thanks, Lyman.

Those utes are what we call!,' B and S utes", or Bachelor and Spinster Ball utes, they are mostly westie guys ( from the western suburbs) that build these over the top utes and go to B&S balls out in the bush. The balls are held so young people from the bush can have a chance to meet up with other young people, as where they live is so remote, and there aren`t many people close by. they are open to all who want to come, and are a bit of a drunken orgie that last most of the weekend.
