Hi ... A friend was preparing his vehicle in readiness for hooking up a new caravan. Much to his horror he found cracks on both chassis rails of his Navara King Cab Ute. I haven't had a look at it yet so am just going on his verbal descriptions of the issue. I see lots of newish Utes pulling vans and wonder h...

Hi there, I'm travelling from Brisbane to Singleton at the end of the week - want to get down there as quickly as possible. Does anyone know the current condition of the NE hway or am I better of taking the Newell? thanks

Stew died in a fire and his body was burned pretty badly. The morgue needed someone to identify the body,so they sent for his two best friends, Mick and Paddy. The three men had always done everything together. Mick arrived first, and when the mortician pulled back the sheet Mick said, 'Yup, his fac...

When I open the index of the GN site, the page is normal size and can be read ok, but when I open a post to read or to reply etc, it stretches beyond the edge including the writing and I have to move the bar back and forth to read it all. This has happened recently, not sure why. Anyone else having this problem o...

G'day folks A little piece of advice. Make sure that you carry the special socket with you if you have locking wheel nuts. This week seems to have been one big round of chiselling wheel nuts off because the owner didn't have, or know where the special tool was. At our workshop we carry some "speci...

Ok then, Here I am again and still in Townsville so time for a quick instalment of my Northern Migration. Not much has taken place during the last week as early in the week I developed a bad head cold and cough and that was accompanied by aches and pains to most of the body so that kept me in dry dock for a few...

Our dealer is very good and has struck a deal with another supplier, Royal Flair don't know much about them??. Now we have to head up tomorro...

To help save the economy, the Government will announce next month that the Immigration Department will start deporting seniors (instead of illegals) in order to lower Social Security and Medicare costs. Older people are easier to catch and will not remember how to get back home.

I know there are couples that live in caravans but this is mostly for single people who live in their motor homes, do you travel every day, or do you spend say a couple weeks at one place? or more for that matter? also if you have a little car to tow behind your mh or do you use one of those hitch and go type thing...

First stop was 100 m done the road as the van mirror had fallen off!!! a quick fix and we were away again. After a unev...

You'd be surprised how much dust and 5h1t gets into the plug connectors. A good spray with an electrical connection cleaner does wonders for ensuring a good connection. CRC spray or WD40 also works a treat and keeps the pins nice and clean ready for the next hook-up. Mark

As you know, when emptying a fuel container you never seem to be able to get that last drop out, petrol is not too bad as you can leave the cap off in a clean area and let it evaporate, however diesel does not evaporate easily. So my question is, providing they are empty, but with the possibility a very small...

Hopefully this version will upload. This is the crew at Greens Lake over Easter.

A bloke picks up a girl in a dark section of the street. She is dressed in bright pink knee boots and net stockings under a leatherette skirt that covers nothing very much at all. He asks if she'd like to go to his apartment to have a look at his multi-million dollar art collection. Off they go. In his apart...
