Diggers in Distress!
Unfortunately as you well know, when things go wrong with Excavators, sometimes they go really wrong!
You can do one of two things when this happens:
1. Scream, Kick the dog and swear
or
2. Get annoyed, but then - look at the bright side of life - as long as no ones hurt and you have a camera then theres an opourtunity there!
Email me the pictures of the incident that the boys still give you a hard time about at the pub on Friday night and we will load it on here for the World to see!
Give us a bit of a run down of what happend to so the viewers can work out how you got in the position!
note; were not interested in anything where people lost their lives, this is a light hearted look at what can happen and survive to tell the tale!
Email to craig@excavatorparts.co.nz
And remember; if you can laugh at yourself, send us your pictures so we can laugh instead!!!!!
