    Fark me, that was close

    Bloody rain

    Just had a major landslip - its taken out two retaining walls, damaged the house and destroyed the garage.

    Fortunately the Ducati was in the opposite corner from where it hit and was protected by the Rangie.

    Shame about the damage to the ovloV - Not. It got punted about twelve metres and only stopped from going over the bank by a tree.

    Biggest loss so far is a good mountain bike buried somewhere in there under tons and tons of wet crap

    Fingers crossed that nothing else goes. Can I have the badges off the ovloV so I can upgrade my Ford?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Some mood music.


    Glad it missed all the important bits, and you are alive and well.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    If we junk the thing - which seems likely - you sure can. Do you want the leather seats too?

    Yeah .. Scott McLaughlin seems to be doing well in the Volvo - certainly giving it the jandal and beating a few Fords ..

    Thankx for the offer. Storage is needed, but it really needs to be a bit closer to home (Chch).

    What suburb? Your neighbours OK?
    If you don't have anything by the end of the week PM me if a place in Diamond Harbour or Leeston would be suitable.
    I know two dudes who would help at the drop of a hat but they are swimming around their own garages at the moment.

    Also if you need some help on the end of a shovel (although it sounds like it might be a bit more than that) start a thread on here man and I'm sure a few will rally to help.

    Thankx for the offer - but this one is way too big for a manual solution.

    Insurance wallah was supposed to come before lunch, now they say tomorrow.

    The garage is history, the wall and garden leaning against the house are stable (for now)

    This is the view from the back door - can't use the front

    If you're on the hill anywhere round ChCh, it's loess clay.....I've lived Diamond Harbour,Mt pleasant and Huntsbury - and worked in Port too so i've seen what happens when it gets wet....Not a lot you can do.

    Hope you get a co operative insurance assessor.
