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....
and did you really expect that we wouldnt be drinking?! haha, come on... tell the rest of the story - the bit about the crate full of grog that you had. not to mention the box of muffins... honestly, dont know what your complaining about!!
what caused that!!!! :o
Someone in a white 70 ish beetle blew their motor too turning right onto the Pacific Highway after the parade. I know because half his sump ended up
on the front of my splitty 
Cheers
Steve

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!
