Peanut in a Tarago

Just thought I'd share an experience I had yesterday. I had to dump a load of slate tiles at the local builders waste dump. When i got down there, the rain had had a predictable effect on the tip face, muddy, very soft. I swung around and backed the ute in, no probs. However, there was a guy in a series 1 Tarago who had just finished uloading his crap and he was parked a ninety degrees from me as I backed in. So he's finished, he hops in the Tarago and goes to drive off. No dice, because it's wet and they've layed all this bark chip down to stabilise the mud, he gets stuck. The rear wheel with all the drive wont climb the rut that he's parked across. So he sits there WHIZZZZZZZZZ....WHIZZZZZZZ....WHIZZZZZ spinning the wheel trying to rock it over the rut. Honestly he tried about ten or fifteen times. I am just watching as I shovel out my ute. If he'd got out of the van I would have lent him my shovel and he could've dug the top of the furrow out and driven away, even if he'd jammed a chunk of wood (plentiful) under it but no....WHIZZZZ......WHIZZZZZ......BANG!!!! He rips the sidewall on the tyre!!! So finally, the dozer driver takes some notice of him and organises a tow....with a D9 bulldozer!!!!! When I left, the idiot was attempting to change the wheel using a scissor jack on the soft muddy ground. Why are people so stupid??

Some people just ahve no brains, dont know what it is about tarago drivers but some just seem to be morons. Once I was being followed by a green p-plater in a pre egg shape tarago, he found it fun to tail gate me. Dont know why its not like he has nay chance of beating me, prob has the same engine as me in a cra that weighs another 300 to 400 kg. Any way after a while I just got jack of him tail gating me, so the next roundabout we came, to dumped it back to second, made sure it was clear and just floored it thru the roundabout. Got about a 300m gap on him after the roundabout and slowed down, to the speed limit. Sure enough though a couple minutes later he was back on my arse. Doesn't he have something better to do. I just took some small side streets and lost him. Some ppl just enjoy annnoying the fuck out of others. You be surprised though how many morons in the situation above wouldn't get out and ask for help, instead just sit there runing variuos components being tools.
