Yes I now have a bottle of bug and tar remover with me when I drive...
It's so good at removing that stuff, I wonder what it's doing to the paint.

When it's been raining and you just want to get going, but the kids want to see the roof top waterfall over the windscreen.

When the Swedish backpacker who spent the night with you in the back of the 110 somewhere in Far Nth Qld, asks if you can take a detour to drop her and her friend off at a cool nudist beach they've heard about.

Actually I just made this up. Can always hope though.

Yeah my rear windows slowly vibrate down too. Apparently you can tighten up the mechanism.

Or the reverse out of the driveway after it has been raining with the driver side window down and the water in the gutters hit the roof rack mounts and end up all over your lap and leg.

Was worse when I had the awning mounted it was a real bath time then

I parked mine drivers side to the curb the other day. Instead of going in head first I thought I'd slide in like you would in a normal car. Tore the pocket off my brand new work pants.

George brought home a heavy load of crusher dust today. Then he went to the Maleny Wood Show, which was excellent.

George Knows a good Wood Show when he sees one. Bought a good Butchers block from there in 2003.
