Ive been told tonight by another neighbor not to get involved! Seemed I wasnt the only one concerned.

The issue has been "discussed" and no correspondence was being entered into.

Keep an eye out for it.

I think someone posted photos of that or one very similar stuck up the high country trying to cross a creek

Or there is this one, I went to a mates property to sus out a good place to camp for a gathering, this came along, this is him going home and crossing the creek to get out of the property, he got stuck going in as well.

On the way there going up Kurrajong on the Bells Line, the transmission over heated, apparently it over heats quite a lot when speaking to him.

His car has a 3.0 tonne tow rating, the weight of the 5th wheeler 2,9 tonne loaded so he reckons, and 2.7 tonne unladen , the towing mechanism in the back is 475kg.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fool

Why do people ask "What the hell were you thinking?"
Obviously I was thinking I was going to get away with it and not have to explain it....

???  Gee ... don't understand at all why. 

LOL!  I think it's hilarious to pull something the size of a semi trailer without the enginey bit (yes that's the sheila's technical term).  Even I'm not the stupid and I've done some pretty stupid stuff in my time.  Like working where I am ... AND twice ... should have learned the first time.   * Sigh *

I saw a Coaster bus on the weekend towing a trailer with a Rav 4 sized car on it, could have been a Vitara, and on top of the trailer was a tinny complete with outboard on a trailer. Would love to know how they got the boat and trailer down off the top of the trailer ???

I overtook a 76 Cruiser Wagon towing a Bushtracker, but on the roof of the Cruiser was a 420 Quintrex Explorer, sitting on its trailer. Old mate must have had some long ramps to get it up n down from the roof.

That thing is crazy big for the ute pulling it, you would need extensions on the extensions for the mirrors. Imagine a bit of sidewind the side slapping would be scary

Well spotted.

Yep, that certainly looks like it, although with an upgraded tug.  He's a far braver man than me.
