It was a great success. I've had two since. All three created or helped a relationship each time. ( Not myself by the way ) Anyway, happy days.

Bought a compressor this morning. Picked it up in my Falcon Ute no problem. Stuff doesn't quite fit as easily in a Jag though..... Lol.

This was on Thursday last week, dashcam GPS modules have obviously decided to give up cause they're just reading whatever they feel.

Did make a longer one for insurance with the preceding few minutes and the exchange of details etc, but it's all pretty boring. Old mate literally did ring 000 but I'm guessing they told him to stop being a silly sausage because he was pretty quiet after.

Not as exciting as DeoLioMouse, but it is in 1080p!

Driving home yesterday afternoon at about 2:25 down Double Jump Road ( a Redlands country type road ) doing 80 in the wet behind a small "box truck". Notice that the small hatchback in front of the truck is indicating right to pull into his drive.

I back off, box truck doesn't notice and is heading straight for small hatchback.

Box truck notices at last second, slams on the brakes, goes left, hits grass, tries to correct.....boom smacks into the power line sideways and ends up on his side down a three metre ditch.

Many helpers and he climbs out looking ok.

He's then talking to someone on the phone as I call the cops.

He seemed totally fine but it was quite a stack and I imagine after the adrenaline wore off he would be damn sore. Lots of other cars n utes pull up. I tell the cops I'm bailing as I'm in a precarious spot. One car came flying by at full speed.

Cops are supposed to be calling me back.

Well I'll remember that for a wee while.
