Beached as Bro

[FJRider]

There was a time when a clean 4wd would have stuck out worse than a 3rd ball on a Greyhound these days coming across one thats ever been off roads a miracle.

Tyre's fitted are usually the give-away of what leaves the seal ... and what doesn't ...

Na mate,tis the paint that gives them away i reckon, most dont have a scratch on them let alone ever been driven down a gully in the middle of nowhere.

[Paul in NZ]

I'm no 4wd nutter (but I did own a ww2 armoured car once) but been in a few and hung out on beaches and in mountains etc

just like motorcycling, one thing thats bound to end badly is driving fast in areas that you are not familiar with. But yeah - karmas a bitch and I hate morons that drive fast on family beaches (which beach btw - looks nice)

Aint that word 'boomfa' just dandy?
Boomfa....you can add Ca to it and it becomes Caboomfa which gives makes it a three action word instead of a two. When used in the correct manner it is known as a caboomfa-ism.

Sounds a bit dangerous - I'd have waved them down for a chat after the first run.

Strange but I'd picturing the 4 as wearing bikinis and having Farra Fawcett hair-dos.

Obviously not bikini clad beauties, because then he would have towed them out

Karma is good, but hardly ever see it in action.

looks a bit like kai iwi. south and castlecliff beaches dont have stream things for kids to play in, kai iwi does. its lovely out there.

good on you for leaving them there, HB. probably a better outcome than if you had asked them to slow down. lol. hopefully they will learn to play nicely when there kids about.

Its at South Beach, The water level varies but its usually deep enough for small kids to splash around in.

As for not helping, If I had thought I could have towed them out I would have, But they were buried deep.

The hole they hit was a good 5 foot deep, I watched one guy wade into it to get to the back of the wagon and it was up to his shoulder.

[Brian d marge]

are you allowed to shoot them with paint ball pellets , while they try to get the car out

you could have a dye in the paint ball , specially for Morans ...

hey this sounds like a sport ,, a comfy chair , a few beers , a sniper type paint ball gun and four morans trying to push a car out of a 5 ft hole in the beach

Sod the world cup rugby this would be much better

No . hang on I thought of a better one ... shooting Nick smith ,,,, anywhere any time ,,, ( with paint balls of course ,,,,)

[DarkLord]

Hehehe. Dumbasses.

Good on you for getting the shot of them stuck there as well!

[ynot slow]

Hehe,much like watching a guy with his bikes and quad moto-x bike on a trailer back in Hawera at Waihi beach,a good area for years used by all people,he said to the kids try riding the quad on the flat,get used to it etc,smart arse kids went down the track to the beach,hooned along,nearly took out a couple fishing,a horse rider,and myself.They stopped and the guy whose quad it was added don't ride accross the stream(about low tide barely a trickle)but the dork went by doing donuts etc,then blasted accross the stream only to totally lose it as the wheels aquaplaned,much like the old skim boards used to with usuall resulting off.

[skinman]

yep that is one deep hole, o for awesome. Does look a lot like Baileys Beach near Kai-iwi Lakes but I guess most West Coast beaches look like that

[Latte]

any "day after" pics ?


And what happens to the car long term, ends up hidden under the sand forever?

could be an interesting find for the next kid that decides to dig to china, lol.

im surprised that was south beach, but its been years since i was there.

Like the idiots portrayed on TV news tonight camped around the perimeter of the Waitaki hydro lakes!

"They" did not give us enough warning, cry the "victims"!

FFS, there are signs all over the place and it pelted with rain for almost 48 hours and there were radio warnings issued!

Camp wardens and Meridian staff went around warning low level campers and got abused for their trouble!

"Personal responsibility" is really in short supply in this country!

The spillways opened and Karma took it's relentless toll. Big flows! Big Karma!

Standard 21st century stuff John:
"Not my fault"
""Somebody"" should have done something" etc etc

Sadly personal resposibility has gone theway of Brylcreem...
