Jeers for putting the pics up :)

Yeh thats broken !!

It was nearly left !! I was not happy. Me and my mate ratchet strapped the axle to stop it moving on the trailer, and so we could drive it on.

The thing was, we where driving on ice, and then fell through it, the only way out was to smash the ice, no trees to winch off...

The ice was 6 inches thick in places, so I think it was the cold water and the ice bashing !!!

Old man emus are going on the rear now, not going the iron man route again for obvious reasons !!
