Mate recognised it when I showed him. Him and his girl way back round then, were having a bit of fun about 4am in this very spot. Bad tempered fisherman knocked on car window, an told him, "young fulla, pull ya strides up and move ya bloody car, its blocking the boat ramp" If he didn't he was told they would push him and his car with girl, into the drink, which would have put a dampener on proceedings
