It just goes to show, you have to watch out for the other guy because there's no telling if he'll share the road with you or not!

Clearly they were towing well over the bull elephant flipping rating and the FGRV that used to be attached has gone flying into the bush! Yet another danger of willfully ignoring manufacturers recommendations.

In 1996 I was on a safari in Tanzania and our tour van came upon a windshield in the road. The guide just said "elephant". Makes ya kinda nervous.

My favourite African story is the one a good friend told me. They were in Kruger Park and a giraffe stuck it's head in the sunroof. "COOL!" they all thought... until the giraffe sneezed. Let me tell you... there is a LOT of SNOT inside a giraffe's nasal cavity!
