Sorry to all the people this effects but we'll work around it.
Most people know i did a Melbourne run on Sunday...
picked up some nice repairable rover's.
50km from home we were run into a barrel rolled the truck 3 or 4 times down the freeway.
No broken bones or serious injuries luckily, but very sore and unable to walk or use wrist properly for a few days. just got out of hospital, very lucky no one was killed or seriously hurt(wait for photos)
lost the truck, trailer, two rover's and a lot of parts, all destroyed
Steve

Frikin hell you were lucky to get out. :shock:
The setup you were carting along would hardly have been the most safe thing to roll.
All the best for your recovery mate! :D
I take no responsibility for any alcohol you may not have consumed.

My brother was driving, he can't remember the roll as we think the fire extiunguisher cracked him in the head before hitting me in the ribs.
he is ok, same condition as me really, but with a graze on his head.

i plan on catching up work as soon as i am able, but til then please tell people to be patient

we had just passed murray bridge. 5am.
thought we better have a driver change,
so i got in the passenger seat for a snooze.
i remember the car hitting the trailer and causing it to jack knife,turning the truck sideways
the trailer then broke off and the truck did it's roll.
car on truck came off, and landed on it's roof.
there was junk everywhere down the freeway, found an engine about 100 metres away
it was definately not a fun ride
