That reminds me of my younger brother when he first bought a 4x4. He took his 3 boys out for a drive in it. When he saw a huge pile of road grit in a layby he yelled "Let's go off-road, boys" and promptly grounded himself on the apex of the grit pile, with all 4 wheels spinning in the air. He had to get our Dad to come out and tow him off with his Honda Civic. <g>
He's learnt his lesson now, and never goes anywhere without a Ray Mears SAS Survival tin and a Swiss Army knife with 600 useful attachments. -- Cheers, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Shel Belinkoff > Sent: 03 October 2006 20:54 > To: PDML > Subject: PESO - Famous Foto: 1972 > > In the early spring of 1972 I bought my first 4x4, a Dodge > Rancharger. > Within a few days, and with a couple of friends, I headed for > the woods.
