I had arranged with my mates to have 3 of them helping and me = total 4.

To get OJ out was a bitch, under a 30 storey unit block, up three carpark levels, of a loop de loop carpark. OJ was tucked in a single garage with all my garage tools, boxes, junk, inside, ontop, underneath around OJ. Hence we had to empty whole garage pull ute out, repack.

Once this plan was done, the goal was to have a car infront of OJ towing her down the ramp, then my car behind strapped as a brake to OJ, so it didn’t run forward into the first car. Remember this is going down 3 storeys of ramps. NOTE OJ has no drive line connected and no brakes.

So while unloading the garage with 2 mates, no 3 mates was late, copped a speeding ticket on the way to the garage, and mate no 2 let him in the garage door, doors are a sliding sideways opening door, mate no 3 tried to squeeze in closing door and promptly got his head stuck between both doors, his head had the full hydraulic pressure squeezing away like a pimple ready to pop. Well head did pop and once door was opened he had a good 2” split on his temple, was seeing stars and nearly fainted, so mate 2 and 3 went to hospital. Mate 1 left to help.

So the only way to get OJ out was to place a 6ft pipe between tow hitches of OJ and my GU Patrol with a chain inside. OJ was going forward and my GU in reverse pushing OJ. If OJ was to get loose was a snatch strap also tied but always could take a brick wall, rather that then my GU.

So like this down 3 story carpark. Then towed OJ 200m up the street and winched on trailer, finished up at 11pm that night shagged as the 2 of us did most the work. Mate is ok but chitty with himself on speeding ticket and head.

Glad he is ok......speeding doesn't always get you a head.

Great story. Wow, your mate really had a bad day. A speeding ticket and a nasty accident with a trip to the hospital. Should have stayed in bed.

Thanks again Steve, I'll buy your mates a few beers for helping/atempting to help you out!

Lol thanks Miller, this mate can drink so could be a late night.

Ferdy came around last and pulled some stuff of OJ, I also pulled more stuff of for Tim.

Still need to get the front wheels off and the chassis number.

Well excited and sad at the same time. Just finished out the front pulling the last thing of OJ for Miller, being the wheels. Had a look at the dash pad and just cant get it Leslie. I'm down to a handfull of car tools and just stripping phillips head nuts. Tried aint going to happen.

Scrappie booked tomorrow morning so now sitting on bricks and really doe slook a sad sight, so your Thursday evening, shell be gone. Now the dash is stripped an open, you can really see the cab is in a chit state. Tray is quite good other then the floor.

Hopefully over the weekend I can remove the box from HP and get my mechanic to load the OJ tub via the car hoist onto the rear of HP, looking forward to less crap laying around

Can't wait to take this "crap" off your hands
