Default full story

Here is how the Jeep made a big hole in the fence

After weeks of Emma complaining about the motor bike not working properley, and threatening to push it down the creek, Emma decided to take the beloved jeep for a drive to get the sheep in. The sheep work happened on the highest hill on the farm by the way. After getting the sheep in, Emma parked the jeep, leaving her precious dogs sitting on the back seat for a much needed rest. After a short period of time Emma thought she saw something move and turned around to see the jeep heading off without her and her two dogs still sitting happily on the back seat. The jeep hit the gate and busted it open and headed on its merry way gaining momentum as it went. After bouncing over alot of rocks and rabit warrens it hit the fence. At this stage Emma though phew, at least the fence will stop it, but she was wrong. The fence didn't even slow the Jeep down. But thankfully a few seconds later the Jeep did a very sharp turn to the right and spun around, then stopped. While all this was happening the dogs were happily riding in the back looking at Emma, while she was trying to get them to jump out. Emma ran down the hill hoping her dogs were ok and to see why the Jeep stopped. She found the wire from the fence tangled around the front wheel of the jeep, boy the wire was tight, It was the only thing stoping the jeep from continuing on into the creek. The dogs were still happily sitting in the Jeep not traumatised at all even though Emma was quite shaken and relieved that her dogs were OK.

I have to admit I am now worried about Emmas driving whilst she is out the paddock as those two dogs seemed to have enjoyed the trip a little too much for my liking.

As for the jeep it only has a couple of scratches and now has no brakes, so a good outcome.
