Only at the NSW/Q. border does it change, below that in the Southern extremes we see things the right way up & know how to use the Editing Function.


No, really.

It wouldn't fit under the beams in a lot of underground carparks.

Goes into recall mode....

Nope I cant recall any brake probs Paul, but there was an occurrence where the tight arses in HO only fitted Michelin somethings, xxxxx's (?) to the rear only, to save money apparently.

Towing a 2 wheeled Trailer & going down German Town Hill just out of Bridgewater & there was always a tight bend (before the M1 existed) to the right. Not sure even today why the front end decided to go off road & hit a tree on the left. Pushed by the trailer I suppose. Wasn't speeding or owt.

Mind you, it did have a new Ice Bank Milk Cooler tank in the trailer & it was a heavy **** trailer at the best of times.

After that, it was Michies all around on the advice of the tyre mob. Never looked back after that & I can still feel the thump of "her" hitting the tree. Shudders.

"She'' was an HR btw.

Apart from the appalling reporting, are we all getting that soft?? Or do people expect that the seas should be like glass because it's otherwise inconvenient?



But the penguins are cute....
