      No point reshelling the thing. He has another couple he can change bits to and get on the road. It was due for rego this week I think anyway, so getting his nj up and running would be better. He's got an nf he could fix up as well.

            Well here's the video in all it's HD glory.

            They are still a bit gun shy about watching it.

                Yep could've been a lot worse. Further up and it gets a long way down when the wheels are not staying where they should. They've nearly got their nj ready for a blue slip, so will be interesting so see if they want to go out again. It's a bugger, we've lost our 4b buddy and haven't been out since. Father in law is finally getting his maverick ready for rego so should be heading out soon enough. Getting itchy feet to getting out again.

                    2 adults 3 kids. Every time before looking at it he's always said he'd go up alone. He doesn't know what possessed him to go up with the kids in. Funny thing is normally my oldest goes in their car, but this day he decided to go in pops car. Maybe it was an omen.

                      And that's how quickly it can go pearshaped. Cheers to the owner for letting us see how tough the body is on a pajero, it held up quite well.
                      I almost did the same thing at commando just last week.

                        Just heard a 30 grand 4b rolled 7 times on widowmaker, no details as to what vehicle or what injuries occured. Reinforces my reluctance to do it.

                            Kelvin in the pajero had a massive heart attack on monday and passed away. He was 38, 1 month younger than my wife who is his cousin.
