HAHA Good one Mick! I usually just release the accelerator until I can see up their nose and they get the point.
No I didnt make it to the cruise, but I was meaning to ask do you have to a member of the club to go on the cruise? Also my clutch is on it's last legs so a Tamborine run is not a good idea at the moment. And no, not blue wagon, Mango Yellow 200B sedan ;) In Nerang about a week ago now, a guy in his 50s was driving over the alcohol limit and he hit a woman in a ute at a roundabout. It was his fault and he was staying in his car to face the music. But the woman called her friends for "help" and her friends came in the form of a guy who smashed every window in his car with a bat of some sort, and broke the guys leg who was remaining petrified inside his car the whole time. Stupid thing to do, drink and drive, but the other guy was even stupider IMO. The guy with the bat fled the scene and the woman "remained silent" on who the "friend" was. The guy who got battered got booked too. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mick ralph" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2003 10:06 PM Subject: Re: Road Rage > Paul > What happened in Nerang a few days ago? > That was u in the powder blue wagon on the cruise? > Cheers > Mick > PS I pulled up in traffic the other day and opened the boot of the pintara > and went back and invited the tailgater behind me to jump in.
