I am in.

wonder if Ken would help, but before this option is started can I suggest we wait until Marj has had time to contact the ACCC, I have a feeling in my water that they will be able to help

Didn't mean to make you cry Mate.    We just want to help.  Now I feel like crying.

 

Cheers,

Sheba.

Give me the bank details , and I will be there.Its good to see our comunity helping those who are in need. Bill

Count me in!

I'm in

Had to post that above quickly so you all would feel better.
We had a long talk and I told her all your advice, about ACCC etc. So I will try ACCC first and wait for an outcome there before looking into a new motor.
I need to write down all the details including names and numbers of caryard, previous owner, who did the work and who checked it today, then ring ACCC and give them all the details and ask for their advice.
I'm presuming they will ring around and confirm what I've said the negotiate with the caryard to try and get some for of suitable outcome, Is that right?
Sister lives in Geelong, so if it comes to getting a new motor will take Myrtle down there as more likely to get the help I need there than up this way.


You guys are all so wonderful. When I get back on the road I want to meet every single one of you.

I'm not fibbing guys. I wouldn't lie. I would just refuse your offer which has been given so generously.
I will feel more comfortable with my sister helping out and she offered.
She hadn't heard from me for a while so thought she better ring to see if I was ok. When I told her she offered straight away. No hesitation. She said she knows this was my dream and she had a cry with me. We've all had a rough few years.

Cripes......I'm a bloke and I feel like crying too, that is really good news Marj, we know your not looking for charity, but its not that at all, it is friends wanting to help out a friend in need, there would be no strings attached, so if things change let us know if we can help.

We all need a helping hand now and then and this time it is your turn if needed.  

Good advice too Wombat, lets hope the ACCC can do something.

Hi Marj,

I know it's all very distressing.A friend who lived here had the same problem -was stranded in Forbes ,a family rescue fitted a new long motor and she had heaps of happy touring.

Those vehicles are very reliable with a reco motor and you should have no further worries but do fit an in house battery for the lights fridge etc.

Best wishes don't give up you will love it after a few trips

Cheers,

mary

WELL GO OFF LINE FOR A FEW HOURS, AND WHAT THE HELL HAS BEEN GOING ON ?????????????? It's ok now i have read all the threads and what a wonderful lot there is on this forum, HW , i wish you all the luck in the world, and it is about time your luck changed, If the deal with your sister falls through,[ we will call that plan 'B'] Then we will revert back to [ plan 'A'] that's us, and you can add me to the list as well. whatever happen's you keep this forum up to date, and follow the advice of the experienced members ok dazren

I will put some Dollars to a fund also, HW can I sugest that its not a refund you want but a new motor in the vehicle you now have as it is yours it is part of you and part of you is the vehicle (at this it may only be a tear dripped on the floor), but you will love this one and it has already the makings of a story. So a new engine for mytle
cheers

I've been away from the forum for about 10 days or so & was wondering what happened to mytle. I've now read this thread and the other one, which answers most of my questions.

I've read what you've written here HW & despite that I would also be happy to follow Bill's suggestion & spear some coin your way. I understand how you feel on the issue HW, but please also understand where we are coming from, without you & myrtle burning up and down the highways & low-ways, how are we ever going to catch up with you for a camp fire and a few stories somewhere. Theres not much decency out there these days but theres loads of it ooooozing out of this forum & its always a wonderful feeling to help someone who deserves it.

Anyway, no matter what way you do it, a recon motor & a bit of TLC & both you and mytle will be moving about in due course.

Kudos to all in this forum that have offered their hand & good wishes !

I'm coming out >>>(closet lurker) It's not often that I raise my head to post these days, but this one is so worth the written word that I could not resist adding myself to the "I'm ins" list to help you Happy Wanderer get happy wandering ~ it would be MY pleasure. 

I am not on the road (yet) and you lot are my living room legends ~ especially you Happy Wanderer and any other solo female who fought all their demons and DID IT!

 I wish I had a sister like that but as my great aunt used to say "wish in one hand and spit in the other and see which one gets full first".....

All the very best of luck to you Happy Wanderer I will be lurking around
