My God, Ian. I didn't realise how politically correct you are. You didn't even mention the gender of the recovery vehicle's driver!

Haven't you heard Steve, girls can do anything. Boys need to be prepared.

I went grocery shopping and got bogged.
To rub salt in, I was recovered by a Mitsubishi on el cheapo, highway tyres.

It's a shortcut I often use. Last time I used it, it was wet and muddy, but no biggie. I hadn't used it for a couple of months for that reason. We've had no rain for weeks so I was expecting it to be dry. I wouldn't have had a problem if I'd given it some berries, but I crept through, trying not to chop the road up any further.

You have really chopped up the SE Freeway since you've been there. Towing like that on said Freeway is probably illegal & you should have used a flat top recovery. You was lucky there was no coppers hiding in the undergrowf.

My car being so naughty lately. Didn't make it home from mechanic lastnight!! Back on truck right back. The drivers side trans line this time! (Passengers side one fixed couple months back) o ring failure. I'm not sure where the o rings are there but im assuming with the pulley bearing failures other week, trans got hot and then probably the final straw for old line and o ring.
(Battery Light came on, followed very fast by hot trans light, then as pulled over and turned off, engine just got hot)
I hope this is last of any trouble though and my car is back to its super reliable sexy self now.

I dunno! If we all chip in, it is about time you bought your own Flatbed/Tilt Tray, & you could personally deliver it them 24/7 & save on your RAA subscriptions..



No don't tell me. You'd have breakdowns with that. Can't win.


Mind you, the Tilt Tray would have to mirror your outings to be fairly supportive.

It would not be popular if a letter was rcd, from NDIS, to the effect that your car was being so unreliable that they couldn't possibly support your application for Hand Controls during the life of said vehicle & it has nowt to do with Hand Controls & your ongoing mechanical problems.

Ian would hear the howls of Disappointment & Despair from Brissie.

Could be a tad embarrassing delivering the car to the converter, on the back of an RACQ recovery truck.
