Thank goodness for bullbars!

Coming home the other day I hit a wallaby. I had absolutely no chance of missing it as it came out of the scrub a million miles an hour. It hit our bullbar. Thankfully we had a bullbar otherwise we would have had a very badly damaged front end! In fact, the wallabt hit so hard it dinted the bullbar and shifted it about 6 inches to the right! That meant that the end of the bullbar, the part that curves around to the wheel arch on the passenger side, was rubbing on the tyre, whenever we hit a bump. The road we were travelling was VERY bumpy! Luckily we came across my F-I-L! He had been minding the place for us whilst we were at the wedding and the funeral. We were both driving home on the same day, on the same road! Mr Fabulous hooked a 'snatch'n'strap' to the left side of our bullbar and connected it to the centre upright of F-I-L's bullbar. He then put our car into reverse, whilst the other car remained stationary, and 'pulled' the bullbar back across the car so that the tyre wouldn't rub. Here are a couple of shots of the damaged bullbar.





THANK GOODNESS FOR BULLBARS!!!

I had a play around in photoshop with a couple of pics yesterday afternoon. I am having a bit more fun with post processing and it seems to be the 'way of the world', unfortunately.

  1. I particularly love what you did with the horses Suzie. What pre-set did you use? Nice work!

  2. I bought a package from Paint The Moon. Her presets are fabulous! I don't know what I used as I was 'experimenting'! I am thinking of getting the horses printed for Grandma.
