You two were very patient and good-natured about the whole experience. Dad was great too! Nice to see. Not many people know (like you) how to take joy where they can find it - after all, life is the journey not the destination :-)
Talk about taking charge in a bad situation! When things seem the most daunting, you just get the job done! This will stay in the back of my mind next time I am faced with the insurmountable.
Sorry about your nice camper truck. Glad no one was hurt seriously. Could have been much worse. Lost my 89 Mustang convertible after being hit head on by a S15 P/U.
Its pretty telling that the other driver stayed and atempted to help. I would assume you wouldnt get the same courtesy in LA. Thanks for the eye opener.
EXCELLENT VIDEO! A COOL ADVENTURE WITH A COOL MINI RV,TOO BAD FOR THE ACCIDENT,OTHERWISE YOU NICE COUPLE WOULD HAVE HAD A NICE VACATION IN MEXICO,BUT SOMETIMES THINGS GO WRONG AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COUNTRY,IS CAN HAPPEN ANYWERE ANYTIME,AND MEXICO IS A NICE PLACE TO VISIT WITH REALLY NICE BEACHES,BUT UNFORTUNELY NOW IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS,BUT ITS NICE TO VISIT AND LEARN A DIFERENT CULTURE,WISH YOU THE BEST TO BOTH AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK WITH YOUR RV...
Now I feel bad about posting on your other video about buying American, but there are only two trucks to ever buy, and neither one is a toyota. Sorry this bad luck feel upon you. now take your ins. money and buy a ford/chevy and a lance slide on.
I've found in my lifetime that what you seek is not always what you get...You get a whole lot more. Good music choice btw....and when you least expect it, you grow closer to the people closest to you, and meet characters along the way. Enjoy your future treks! Peace :)
Man!! Thanks for sharing this video! Nice job with the filming mate. Did you get a new truck after all this time pass? Or, did you say... "-Heck! I'm getting married. No time for a new truck now...":)
Thats too bad...Well God works in mysterious ways...Sometimes things happen that seem like the worst thing possible yet in reality-maybe that little incident kept you 2 from a more serious threat!!-Oh-did you guys surf fiji with the Tui Tai? I miss Liga and friends!!
Yeah, Mexican insurance paid for everything (except the towing because we insisted on using a flat bed which cost extra $500). We ended up getting close to $10K out of the insurance to totally fix the truck! Buy insurance! It works!!!
I drive to Baja a lot for surf trips, and buy "Mexican Insurance," But from your video, I'm worried that it isn't any good. Did you ever get any compensation for your damage? Thanks for the great vid.
Camper Vans and Caravans suck, they should all be banned, Mopeds rule the highways, especially Aprilla Area 51's, in black and red, like mind, on an 03 plate, they would own your bloody Camper Vans anyday
What dick head thumbed down my comment, if you can't realise Camper Vans and Caravns all suck cock you must be some kind of drug user, I love seeing them destroyed in demolition derby's
Driven that road many times. Although I never had an accident like yours, I have had many crazy experiences south of the border. Any you what, I still love visiting baja as often as I can. I'm hoping the surf sucked.
Back in 1979-80 I spent a year traveling the length and breath of Mexico and Central America in a CJ-5 Jeep.
The scariest thing I saw was just how badly the people drive south of the border. Passing on blind curves and over the crest of a hill. It happened so much that I was starting to freak that one of these days some nit wit would come over the hill or around a curve in my lane right at me.
HMMMM Not sure why that jerks comment didnt post with mine..... OH well you two sure amazed my on the build of your camper! Sorry those idiots hit you.
The deal is, after traveling in Baja a lot of years to surf, I conclude the trip is a crap shoot. You can go one time and everything is great. You can go another time and stuff like this happens. Its just part of the drill...not easy to take, but you just have to factor it in. That's why lots of people in the know drive old domestic 4WD trucks. If you lose it somehow, its no big loss.
Good advice. The old timers all agree. Only take with you (vehicle included) what you are willing to sell cheap or just flat walk away from. Towing a car back to the States isn't always an option. ... but nice rig btw!
Holly and Ryan you guys Rock! Seriously all these losers on the internet have no clue. Probably stuck in Ohio or Missouri with nothing better to do. Ya the experience sucked while it was happening, but 2 years from now you'll just laugh. A lot of ppl just would give up and say screw this place, but you came back and CHARGED hard and the surf gods will repay you! You gotta pay your dues.. and well yours are paid in full!
yah in 2006 the "federal de caminos" stil whit those cars now they drive chargers... LOL Pinchis its a cool name 4 a dog my next one will be named pinchi... love it
that was pretty crazy.you always have to be prepared with thse crazy locals way of driving.were planing a trip from texas to monterey n.l. mexico on our scooters.harley's
You guys are Awesome!!! If that happened on my trips to Baja, in my customized super van , I would have freaked out and killed everyone including myself. Rock on!
If your going to be surfing baja much you a need a full size FORD parts are around and you can put a beefy bumper on. Your to pretty to let the locals smash into you oh my god oh my god! cool tunes.
All in all, a great story- thanks for sharing! Enjoy the adventure!
