Following the nature trail - literally!
Tuesday, December 25th, 2007As a revisit of the Sunday drive my friend and I did a week before - my friend decided to head out again - this time with another friend (the idea was beginning to get popular that our other buddies expressed an interest in joining in). This second occasion I couldn’t attend but I got to hear all about it…
They left in two cars just like last time - but came back in one. The poor little Toyota Yaris took an unexpected slide off the side of a cliff!
Luckily nobody got hurt - however the car itself will need to wait a few days for the towing service to drag it back up the slope.
From the photos I’ve been given - the car seems to have mostly survived in shape - however later analysis will need to determine it’s fate.
The impact was at low speed so it wasn’t enough to trigger the airbags. Looks like it might only require a little panel-beating to solve most of the damage.
My friends had some extra dramas on the way back to civilization - the remaining car (an old Ford Meteor) busted a tyre and the spare wasn’t fully inflated thus forcing them into a long slow roll to the nearest service station to pump up the tyre.
*** UPDATE ***
My friend tells me the Yaris has been towed and assessed and it is declared a write-off.

Eco-boat powered by human fat attempts round the world speed record | the Daily Mail
The fastest eco boat on the planet will attempt to break the round the world speed record using fuel made from human fat.
Pete Bethune, the New Zealand skipper of Earthrace, said the attempt to circumnavigate the globe would begin from Valencia in Spain on March 1 next year.
Bethune and his wife mortgaged their house and sold everything they own to help make the project happen, while continuing to seek support from sponsors.
