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...

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.

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...

Anyone able to suggest the best way to get to Maleny from Toowoomba. I know you can turn north near Woodford, not sure how steep the road is. From memory, the road from Woodford is very steep, but have never towed anything into Maleny. Hopefully someone will be able to let me know if the road is too ste...

All suggestions appreciated. Will putting an FM antenna on top of the TV antenna improve the FM reception ( yes I apprec...

I was hoping that there may be a easy way to find a list of State by State Show Ground Camping sites. Now I know that if one did exist, that it would be a variable list as there would be changes due to the Caravan Park owners bitching re low cost camping. But any clue would be great. Perhaps there is a thread on...
