Default Sad Jeep Story

Just got back from driving my 1943 GPW to Cape York (Australia's most northerly point).

Found some good WW2 relics including a Bailey bridge in the jungle leading to an overgrown Radar Station.

Unfortunately I let another bloke have a drive on the way home and he completely destroyed a vehicle 3 weeks out of full restoration. He will spend 6 weeks in hospital but the jeep is dead. Lost concentration on a straight sealed road and put it 30 feet down into a creek.

PS Going to War and Peace, hope to catch up with some MLU blokes there.
