Hey pallies, likes dudes today's Dino-devotion is of the most unusual sort.  International in nature, our report comes from the Aussie on-line newspaper, "Perth Now" where scriber Mr. Jon Kaila of the Herald Sun  shares that a man tagged Nick was simply drivin' his Mercedes van as usual on the Monash Freeway....." just casually, enjoying the nice weather and listening to a bit of Dean Martin, and the next thing I know I've got a brick on my lap....."
Likes imagine that dudes, Dino-lovin' Nick enjoyin' some fine weather and some fine Dino-croons when outta no where he has his cruisin' interupted by somebody throwin' a couple of bricks at his Mercedes.  Likes how uncool is that dudes?!?!?!?!  We're glad Nick excaped without serious injury and that he was alone in the car.

ilovedinomartin sends our best wishes to Nick and congratulates him on his choice of drivin' tunes....nobody better to listen to then our most beloved Dino.  Likes we also do hopes that the authorities are able to crack this crime.  And, we thanks Mr. Jon Kaila for his fine reportin' lettin' us know that you simply never ever know where the name of our Dino will turns up next!  To checks this out in it's original format, simply clicks on the tag of this here Dino-report.  Dino-always, ever, and only, DMP

A DRIVER had a lucky escape when two bricks were thrown off a Monash Freeway overpass and hit his windscreen.
Nick, 38, from South Morang, said one of the bricks shattered his Mercedes van window and the other landed on his lap.
Police are investigating the frightening incident, which happened between 7.30 and 7.45pm on Tuesday.
"I was just driving along, just casually, enjoying the nice weather and listening to a bit of Dean Martin, and the next thing I know I've got a brick on my lap," Nick told 3AW.
"Thankfully it happened to me because I was driving a van so it hit low down on the windscreen.
"If it was a car it would have hit higher up on the screen and caused a lot more damage - thankfully there were no kids or anything involved."
Nick did not see who threw the bricks and described the noise of the brick hitting his windscreen as an "explosion."
"I didn't see anything, I was just driving along and the next minute, like an explosion, and then I had a brick on my lap," he said.
It happened on a footbridge close to East Malvern train station and Ivanhoe Grove as the van travelled city-bound.
Police are appealing for any witnesses, or anyone with information, to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

There really is no wonderful experience quite like driving with out Dino's voice coming from a car's speakers.

The author of this story had a very, very close call -- and the closeness of that call makes our Dino's music all the more symbolically significant.
