    About 30km north of Cooma on Monday arvo, I came across the Professor (the bloke who spoke was on stage with the results of the trivia quiz) with his 300Tdi Disco and Series in tow and they were stopped beside the road. I had a look, checked the symptoms, and said "This has blown a head gasket".

    I rang JustinC who confirmed my suspicions.

    I told the Prof to call a flatbed.
