I want to see what everyone's damage is from the buggy bash day. I know there was a lot more than mine from what I saw.
Boozer's Damage Report:
1. tachometer-unresponsive possibly revivable.
2. Several large and small cracks in fibreglass nosecone and guards.
3. CD player/Radio-doing funky stuff and not working right.
🙁
But if that's all, I'm pretty happy!

If you can't laugh at yourself you can't laugh at anyone else! Because life is to short not to LAUGH
my radio/CD player has been resurrected from the dead! *insert Zombie noises in background* I went for a driver just before and it's working fine now.

hmmmm...let me see....
1. hair was full of dust and crap so needed to put a treatment through it last night.......
2. used an entire tank of petrol getting lost up there and going via toowoomba.....
3. my pink cons (sneakers) are so damn encrusted with mud and crap that i had to chisel off the mud, soak them over night, scrub them with the kitchen scourer and put them in the washing machine..........
does this count as damage?????
hmmm.....love the bajas....think i am too much of a wussy pants girl though....................:blush

just because i was unwilling to sit in johns buggy yesterday.....when the seat was covered in mud --- and we are talking CHUNKS of mud.....he was head to toe grease, oil and mud.............................uh uh................was contemplating using the helidon-spa-mud you were all covered in as a facial mask though.....hmmm...wonder how john's complexion is today.........impurities vanished....wrinkles smoothed......glowing skin...hmmm.............they should combine a baja day with somekind of health retreat mud mud glorious mud.
yes well, just seems to be you just have push a girl past a point and they decide that yes they are allowed to show that they enjoy playing in the mud with the boys and they stop pretending not to like it.

hmmm I do recall a young minx fanging it in a manx, and the black basher was the most hardcore thing (flying baja aside) out! Peeps talk bout subimanx's, megamanx's and bigbaja's.... well meet the Submarbaja! Glugg Gluggg,,,,,vrooommmm,, putt putt putt.... I loved it!:bounce
You know u want one thorun,, you know underneath that fem exterior lay a beast with a passion for rolling round in the dirt.....unleash it I say and see what happens :P
see the problem is I want a GL for racing and rally bug for dirt racing and nice split screen for daily driver and a manx for offroad fun, now where are those good paying jobs?

oh .. damage report.. well got brakes back (80%) by grantham, but encountered a bit of the old wobble wobble wander happening over 65 mph.....(axle nut loosey prob....lol). the dodgey cylander prob appears to stem from the beetroot tin patch on exhaust needing replacement....
few more things needing a bit o' tighten,,, but hopefully thats it.... :P (yeah roight, lol)
mabye try a tomato tin next time? might be better than beetroot? just make sure it italian tomatoes, that way ur car might get a good ferrai sound?
