car vs football

metrofish · #1 24-02-2007, 07:15 AM

ever wonder what would happen if you lob a football into the path of an oncoming car traveling at 110kmh . i met a couple of kids who wondered this and decided to find out . unfortunately i was the one driving the car . a 2006 holden rodeo crewcab demo with 3000 k's on the clock

the kids live on a road between northam and york surrounded by poddocks with no other houses for about 4k's so it was easy to figure what driveway to pull into .

I still can't believe how unlucky that was Dave - bit higher windscreen $2-300 bit lower grill $150 - bonnet I'd hate to guess.

Hope you caught some fish to make up for your misfortune mate

Thanks again for the gear you dropped off last night

Hey Dave, Stu wanted to know if we got any fish, how about posting up a pic of that monster i got, haha, i wonder if anybody else has caught one like it before.

and not to mention the soaking we copped, there was salt footprints all over the floor the next day, had to get on hands and knees to wipe them up.

hey Peter yeah i put a pick of your prize catch on the brag board

she was pretty rough out there , im sure the front of your boat was flexing .

PEDHAR · #9 25-02-2007, 06:07 AM

I have heard reports of the larger polycraft having a flexing feeling in rough conditions but thats not to say the smaller ones dont flex either, i didnt notice it as i had my eyes shut the whole way trying to keep the salt out that was coming over the bow. It was a fun trip though. Maybe we should try daylight hours next time.

Both of you have developed the obsession very quickly. To go out in that howling easterly (and at night), catch nothing but a starfish, get wet and still want to to do it all again; yep you guys are in deep trouble

PEDHAR · #11 25-02-2007, 08:34 AM

I know i have a problem and i did try to see a shrink but he wouldn't come to see me on my boat so i told him to get lost. besides i only get to go fishing 15 - 20 times a week so i cant afford the spare time to see a doctor.

metrofish · #12 25-02-2007, 10:06 PM

itll only get worse when we start catching something

PEDHAR · #13 25-02-2007, 10:41 PM

its all down hill from here thats for sure.

metrofish · #14 26-02-2007, 12:26 AM

got a quote today . $700 to repair . ouch . still not as much as i thought luckily

PEDHAR · #15 26-02-2007, 03:28 AM

Thats a bit rich, still its better than the excess you would have had to pay, i still think you should hit the family up before you fork out. maybe we should go and give these boys a whippin with our bream sticks, or better still take them out fishing with us one night, that will tech them. haha
