I must have mistaken you with Bill, Ross, Robin, Ian, James or one of the many other clubbers. Maybe you could pick one up for the exorbitant prices you are being charged for your repairs.
I had a fun time yesterday. Coming along the Fraser inland road, as the beach was impassable, the right spring on the camper, chattered free on the corrugations. The end result, the axle crept forward, and the tyre self destructed by rubbing against the shackle bolt.
Changed the tyre and then the problem of releasing the spring and working all the leaves back where they belong. An easy task on the concrete at home but not so easy on a sandy track. I will be checking the shackle bolts tension in future.
Mark Haeusler from North Coast 4x4, stopped and helped me , in the spirit of the true 4x4 driver. Without his assistance I would have missed the last barge. We were the last to cross last night,and I had made him late for a Corroboree organisational meeting.
He gets my vote as real bloke of the year, a perfect champion!
