Poor Moose...

Post by Squik »

Moose rolled his car trailer on the way up to Tuff Truck last night... with his Sierra on the back :cry:

Moose and Co. are all ok, but the trailer and Sierra are write-offs.

It happened last night near Singleton (I spoke to Podge this morning). He and the little bloke are ok but the old girl is dead :cry:

Moose is up there now (no internet).

This seriously blows. And to pull attention away from the crying little baby in the corner for a minute, this should makes us all think about the inherant dangers that towing can involve. Too many times over the years have I heard of competition or show cars being written of due to towing accidents. I'm not going to jump to conclusions about how this happened but I would like to offer my condolences to Moose and hope everyone learns from this.

If it rolled on a trailer I'd only have to presume it was at some sort of speed, and a zuk+trailer not only means more weight, but more height for it to fall from.
Would be prettly lucky to get away with a body swap, but I'd imagine it would have broken things like body mounts, suspension mounts, steering links/mounts, even bent chassis & damaged drive train could be a result.

Fortunately, zuks are cheap, unfortunatly it doesnt take much to write one off!

Unsure of the details, but he had driven through from Melbourne so maybe fatigue was a factor....

Okaaaaaaay... just got off the phone to Podge. The poor little Sierra is a writeoff (chassis is screwed - as well as a munched up body) but he's still able to drive it around the property in a fashion. Moose, his mate Bill and Josh were in it... all ok.

Only problem is that the radiator is stuffed. Does anyone have a spare 1.3 radiator they can take up on the weekend for him?

If so, call Podge... PM me for his number, or call Moose on the TTC number: 1300 885 836

Pyrotech... gave you the wrong number.. sorry :oops: - use the one above and I've PMd Podge's number to you as well.

I didn't know he'd had it so long (since it was 3 years old), I understand a bit more now how much it means to him... the poor bugger is absolutely devastated :cry:

I'm thinking a "Moose-a-thon" may be on the cards :armsup:
