Towhooks and national parks

Post by elmojerry »

hi, i'm new here but i do lots of cool offroad stuff... i'm really good at it too.

anyway, i was tearing up some banks in a reserve the other day when I got stuck... what I need to know is should I have towhooks all over my truck so farmers can pull me out before the cops and the press arrive or should i just rip the plates off and do a runner...

also why hasn't this forum got lots of rules and regulations about towhooks? i rekon we should write some...

Bit of a no brainer really ... think back 14 months or so when a certain character displayed a similar sense of humour and image editing aptitude in a phantom 'take the piss' posting. :wink:

Hmmmm - who would have the motivation, skill, and sense of humour. :?: :!: :lol:
