    I give it 10 mins before some tool questions why you were taking photos while driving.

    hehehe... Great minds eh, I was waiting for some dumb post like that to popup too.

    To pre-empt any such posts by any tools, I didn't take it... That's what passengers are for! Quick on the photo button with the mobile.

    thats funny shite & a reminder,i did exactly the same thing years ago when i was still in nz. but it wasnt just the mattress. it was one of those old silky oak beds with a big headboard with drawers & stuff attached to it. it had a solid frame for the mattress to sit on so i just strapped the frame to the roofracks,threw the matress on top of the frame then tied all the headboards & stuff on top of the mattress to stop it going anywhere. things you do when your young & think your bulletproof,lol

    Hey mate, funny as hell pic!

    Saw something like this a couple of weeks ago on the force or cops or something along those lines, maybe the NZ version. On the show the cops pulled up a carload of korean's (or something similar) driving down the road in a crappy car with a table tennis table on the roof like the above mattress. The tennis table was in a box with packing tape going around the box and throught the inside of the car along the roof. They also were all holding the table tennis table down with their hands.

    Anyway, the coppers pulled them over, checked out out how it was taped down and let them go telling them to "take it easy and drive safe" (along those lines). Obviously its up to the coppers discretion and depending on the sort of day he had as to whether you would get a ticket or not.

    Pic you took looks like it is on the highway though! Surely less safe than crawling along at 50km/h.

    Dunno the point of this post but it is kinda relevant! Anyone else see the show i seen recently?

    My housemate rocked up at home last night with a massive trampoline strapped to the top of his tiny corolla using 2 ratchet ties. No idea how he even made it back

    He must have been heading to the Hume Hilton to do a prison break

    A carpenter I know at work said he was in the carpark at a local Bunnings one time when he saw a 40-something asian bloke tying down some lengths of 4x2 to his roof with rope through the windows. He had his wife passing the ropes from one side to the other and when he was done he had to climb in the window of the car lol.
