I love how simply it just says "Used" in the Ebay advert.

I can't seem whether to decide on getting an old quad bike or a small old paddybasher...

I grew up thrashing an L71 aka "gen1 brumby"/"fugly" with my neighbour through their bush block.

We've got a sherpa that was our paddock basher until dad put the engine into a little bobcat - that's still being refined! And our current paddock basher is my mate's old L series that his Liberty replaced :D Dad seems to love it even though he's a range rover man - we had the old family rangie as a paddock bomb for sometime as dad still hasn't been able to part with it!

Cheers

Paddock bashers, you say? When I was about 10 or 11 I remember myself and the old fella chopping up an EA wagon and making it a ute for rednecking purposes. Grass-fires? No problem! Bent up a pipe and had the exhaust coming out the top (no bonnet). And after some serious learner driving and thrashing, it still rips a mean skid to this day. :rolleyes:

Also, one does wonder how the bonnet would get bent in the corner in such a fashion.

How odd.

Bonnet would have come open at speed. You can see the massive dent where it hit the top of the windscreen. Also the roof is dented similarly

"WUT" - I thought this would have been a reference to the noise this thing would have made - "WUTT-WUTT-WUTT-T-T-T-WUTT-WUUUTT-T-T-T-T"

You get the idea. It would have sounded like shit I reckon!
