more stupid idiots in the ashley river

Post by mike barnett »

Last night i went over the Ashley bridge {main north rd } and saw trucks and people in the river about 5pm. My son went over the bridge about an hour later and did a u turn and went back to find a vx cruiser and a very tidy gq nissan both stuck in the river neither of them running. he was told that the gq was trying to help the vx.Anyway long story short ,lots of cops lots of 4wds end result nissan had the front end ripped out and will most be a right off. The asian owner didnt even want to go back to the gq to get his rope as he said the water was to cold :lol: . Can anyone add to this story :?: Photos :?:

:roll:

What a waste. I'd be keen on some parts if it's too inconvenient for the owner to recover.

My work mate was one of the people that helped pulled it out, the radius arm was sticking down into the ground.

There was a very tidy one getting round ChCh and driven by an asian...had a large ARB sticker on it and same colour as this one. Had 'Goliath' on front of the bonnet - I reckon same truck.

Is he going to pick his rubbish up out of the river? The dude should have o pay to have the body removed. You can't just leave that shit there.
