I don't think I've heard of anyone snapping an A-frame mount recently, not since Easter at least!

The joys of chooseing the right people to go with you

The reason for my name Rovercare, is I was always under, in, on one, keeping the things going, it was a **** take, that eventuated from Roadside assist, cloughy's repairs, etc, never has a vehicle been left stranded in my company, and when it has, its been into the night and promplty recovered the next day..........most times at a dear cost to me and my cars, dragging dead vehicles can be hazardous to drivelines

He did have a UHF,busted the antenna sunday arvo when I was out with him.Only was working when close by.
It wasnt the ball joint that failed,it snapped the retainer plate off the diff!!!
Looks like he has stuffed the pinion,plenty of play now,leaking oil badly despite new oil seal.
If any WA peoples have a spare 10spline diff,Jimmy would be VERY interested.

The lengths I will and do go to

I've pulled up for complete strangers, so many times its not funny, I was once asked on the Hume, when I seen a tyre blow out on a VX commodore and backed back, to find a mum and 2 spunky daughters, "why would you stop and help?" after I'd changed they're spare over

I replied, Because I hope one day, someone will be kind enough to do the same for someone I cared for

But that's me, I pick up and stop for everyone, makes for some funny stories, especially after I drove a hitch hiker 1 hr out of my way....I needed time to think.......and he bought me a heap of scotch cans at the bottleo, funny dude

And another dude, showing me his drugs, after I told him I was going to pick up some "gear"....gear for work stupid, I was in a work car after all

I love it and don;t dwell on the bad ones I've helped......trust me, stop for everyone and it can be unpleasant, but not everyone is the same

BUT, If you wan;t a recovery from me, a beer is MANDATORY......even light if we're on the road
