How do you know it wasn't aimed there?? Cheers, Bobj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm...another memory...sorry. Have seen on a few occasions, young bullcatchers go into town to the Toyota dealer, point out a 4wd, pay cash from a huge roll of notes, take the vehicle to the welders' shop, get the front end modified and have a seat put on a front mudguard and buggaroffski back to the bull bashing. They nearly always had a few old truck tyres strapped to the more vulnerable parts of the 4wds. Two or three months later, they would buy another 4wd and start again. These young men would charge after the old scrub bulls with no thought for self preservation, tip a scrubby, tie its legs and call up the truck to winch the bull up on the tray. These days, about 80% of the work is done by helicopters. Indeed, VRD has, I think, 4 helicopters. Cheers, Bobj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
