Hi

i was driving my mini to the beach to do a spot of kitesurfing and a kangaroo jumped out in front of me and put a little dint in the bonnet ,luckily no one was hurt and the kangaroo hopped away which is nice for him too.

I contacted the farmer who owns the land that he jumped out of .he said he shoots any roos that come on his property so it must have come out of the national park next door so I should speak to the government as its theirs .they asked me where the kangaroo was headed and i said there was a nice grassy field and stream across the road from the farmers place ,they said i'd better speak to the local koori people because they now own that land after recently proving native title and it was their nice patch of land that lured the roo across the road ,they said that a mining company had recently been given a mining lease to mine the property so they were responsible , I contacted the mining company but the receivers answered the phone saying that the mining company had gone broke because of the world financial crisis and the slump in commodity prices ,so bad luck.

my mini still has the dint and I want to get it fixed .What am I to do
(BTW if and when I find someone responsible and get it fixed and suggestions on how to keep sand out ?)

I only recently had it repainted too

That's one very pink mini you have there dude.

Sounds like you're having a laugh but if you're not - dude, you can't find a responsible person for a kangaroo.

OK, I get it now - a windsurfer hit my board..........

Ha Ha, cant believe someone actually replied seriously to this.

I'd blame America for the recession, then throw a shoe at Bush

I think we should be more worried about getting you started on the 10 steps to reclaiming your manhood

Step 1 : repaint car a mans color, and no salmon doesn't count
Step 2 : sell mini, buy ute
Step 3 : stop whinging about sand in car and start getting sand in the bed
Step 4 : go for a kite/surf/fish/stalk and shoot roo that hit you
Step 5 : drink self silly in pub with left over money from selling Mini
Step 6 : pass out with hand down pants
Repeat steps 4 - 6
Step 10 : beg wife not to leave you because you sold her car and you keep getting sand in the bed.

How good was that shoe throw at Bush.
Maybe those roos are waging a 'war against terror' of pink minis

Come on he missed him with two attempts. I must say Bush was bloody quick on his foot to duck under the first shot, it was throwing with some velocity.

Also how slow was the secret service in getting to the guy.

I liked the way bush was kind of grinning at him after the first shoe " c'mon whatcha got for me big guy ,a kebab?"

It must have looked something like this when it happened (I was pushing the mini pretty hard at the time)

I suggest a bit of full moon kiting with your baby strapped to your back and then have a full on accident, whilst showing off too close to shore taking out innocent by-standers with no AKSA insurance and no safety release in 50 knot direct onshore winds riding an old 16m Arc.

Dude I think that kangaroo was humping your car.
You should charge him for sexual assault.
With this car you are putting your self in danger of getting humped with almost anything.
