    hows it going guys

    recently towed the boat from brissie to darwin about 100km out of brissie on the warego hwy some retard thought he would just turn in front of me i slammed on the brakes and swerved violently to avoid a collision the car (patrol wagon) and boat (5.6m trailcraft sportscab) were nearly lost the only thing to stop me wiping out and rolling was the trailer collecting a pole and stopping the pendulum effect

    lucky for me i had recently replaced me tie downs with a heavy duty transom strap and had the winch cable plus two chains from the bow to the trailer the boat didnt move thank god
