Better than getting a propshaft up your clacker at 110ks, dobbo...

Yup a bit greasy and ****ed off I missed the party. Due to my CDL setup (only in low range) it was a slow trip for the 3km's home but I'm here. with yet another dent in the chassis rails and the gearbox sump.

No it may happen to yours too, I now a few toorak tractors it has happened to. I have had very few problems with my TD5 and this is the first time that it has momentarilly halted my progress.

Stuff the Cup and stuff the VRC and the federal Ag minister too. Scumbag redeployed 4000 EI vaccinations to Victoria for friggin race horses which were supposed to go to buffer zones in NSW and Qld to prevent the Bloody horse flu spreading further. Then they redirected 10,000 doses in NSW to bloody track horses and the buffer zones had to wait longer again. Now it's spreading further and faster, people are losing houses and properties as they have no work and just because the friggin race horse people think they're special...

The damn thoroughbred race horse and breeding industry comprises less than 20% of the entire horse industry but by golly gosh they have some pull, but they have no friends in the rest of the horse world (or the DPI) now........
