Sleeing on the side of the road sucked.

Yeah it was me. Only had the baja on the road a few weeks and now it's in someone's front yard near Grafton. It was runnning real well on friday night down to valla from Brisvegas till we got past Ballina. Then it started pinging easily. And then went bang, bang, bang like the exhaust snapped off at the head. Pulled over to see flames coming out the head under the exhaust port. ****ing hell! The pushrod tube also looked bent and had oil all over it. This was at 11:00ish at night when I put a call through to the rest of the crew who'd gone down earlier. Apparently everyone'd been drinking and couldn't pick us up till the morning, which didn't suprise me at all. Wahey! So me and my mate got to spend the night in a baja filled with camping shit and a pushie with trucks going past every minute or so till we could get picked up at 7:30ish. Got back to valla right in the middle of the street parade. After that the weekend got better but now the next one is booked out for a baja rescue.😂
Put my story in the hard luck box for a laugh, didn't expect to win it though! I was a bit stunned actually, normally the way my luck goes I don't win shit.😂
So now I'm planning something different for the baja once I get it back home again....

😂 grafton was about where daisy lost her headlights from memory last valla...no way was I going to leave her there (cars that ate paris spring to mind), everyone had been drinking too, so we battled on in the rain using my hazzard lights and the country buggy as my giude... that's a poor effort Boozer, you should have stolen a horse from a farm, hitched up the bug and continued on.. shame boozer...shame! 🥷

That white Beetle was going great overtaking Us ...

then My car including windscreen was covered in spots of Oil....
and the air was filled with Blue smoke...
it kept going for a while...
Longer than I thought it would have...
with that amount of Blue smoke...
