That's the real advantage of big tyres - they burn longer on the signal fire.

seen that aboriginal show "bush mechanic" omo in the brake lines, bit of stick to keep the door closed, etc. After living in the teritory for several years and driving round the Kimberlys all that stuff was good to see. There was one character who would be on the side of the road waiting for someone to stop and give him a tow to the next garage. What the unsuspecting helper didn't know was the black fella's toyota didn't have an engine it was just his way of getting round......... well I thought it was halairious

Also on that "bush mechanic" show it showed how to use spinifex to repair stuff.
now if you have no spinifex around and you've just broken your d/shaft, you loose all your water and have only a dry packet of OMO things really start to look serious. :D :D :D :rolleyes:

Nah, it only gets serious when you've lost the lighter and you can't ignite your 33" STs [img]smile.gif[/img]
