The tube is to mend tiny stone-chips in the windscreen. Costs around $70. if you get some-one else to fix it, and they use exactly the same thing. I know, 'cause I've had it done once, and seen how it's done. Carry my own now. Costs $19.99. The Bagholder is self-explanatary. Handy little thing. ...

Geeze what happened before. I was in the middle of posting, and the site went down. Kept getting told to try again in 2 minutes, gave up and went to bed for a while. I really hate it when that happens. Cheers, Sheba.

I saw a Grey Nomads Sticker on the back of a home made slide on camper on a Toyota ute. There was a sign, hand painted on the back among a few other stickers, from far and wide, that said "Bill's bait box". Anyone know who this character is? ROTFLMAO

Could I please h...
