    Default Unusual business..

    Ok so I am driving down one side of Morayfield Rd.. big road, its night time but plenty of street lights.

    On the other side of the road, I see a Jim's van.. you know the kind, picture of a bearded man and big letters saying Jim's Mowing, Jim's Antennas, Jim's Petwash, etc etc... there are millions of them. We are both on our far left lanes, so we are six lanes and a traffic island apart, but its pretty hard to miss JIM'S BRAZILIANS in huge letters across the side of the van, and Jim's hairy face in its full splendour.

    I did a double take, then had another look just to make sure lol.. in fact I damn near rear-ended a 20 tonne quarry truck because I was just mesmerised with disbelief. So eventually I safely arrive home, still shaking my head, and get online. I couldn't help myself, I just had to know!
    I found a photo of the van. Its famous apparently but it moves around a lot so of course I've never seen it before.

    Yeah I wasn't seeing things !! I just wasn't seeing all of them... check the smaller red writing on the roof.

    I give em an A .. Give me the woman in the pic and I will happily raise it to A+

    I like the "Free Quotes and Advice" bit.

    "Yes, ma'am, well, on inspection, I'd recommend the full Amazon treatment. Can't leave any stumps, can we?"

    What a job!

    I'll agree, they are fun to read at most times, however their driving has a lot to be desired, they have caused many near misses.

    One good look at them would tell you that.
