Ok so i had a bit of a boo boo at Stockton beach on the weekend

This was the Result...

A Busted up fuel tank. and a Busted up Fuel pump.

And here's how i made it all the way back to sydney

And now my car takes a whizz permenantly

Ok now for the Big Question, Who has a Vit LWB Fuel tank sitting around thats not damaged in any way who wants to get rid of it

I might invest in one of those Tank Guards Very shortly.

Ok so i was being a smartarse attempting to beat a mate up the side of a dune... where i went to hit the dune was more of an angle like this _/ rather than a roll up where he was... (we were about 30meters apart) i hit this what i can only describe as a cliff at about 50km/h. it launched the front wheels very very clear off the ground and Slapped the arse end hard against the dune.

i think the Bull bar took the brunt of the force of the dune... there was certainly enough sand around the intake for the radiator
