Rupert and Nadine made it as far as Manning before Rupert's $200 Ford Tampax (as he affectionately calls it) began it's 40km/hr slow-motion slide into the ditch.
"Ohhhh, I'm sorry," was his defeated apology as brake-pumping, gearing down, and corrective steering all proved useless against the irresistible lure of the roadside ditch. Nadine reports that he was undeterred and drove another 20 feet once inside the ditch. Ahhh. Such is the power of denial.
It only added 5 extra hours to their trip.
Nadine used this time to contemplate how to incorporate her new knowledge of extreme reality stunting into our choreography for "Six Jerks in a Jeep".
No injuries ... well, except the Tampax. Er ... Tempo.
