Maybe coincidence Tim but if not you got a bargain on the oil bath. Well done.

Tried to separate hotbox on a 149 manifold once. Gave up short of snapping long bolts.

If anyone is coming into Toowoomba from the south (Gore Highway via Gundy/Millmerran) or west (Warrego highway), or anywhere really, and needs somewhere close to Toowoomba to do anything on their car you’re more than welcome to use my shed. The only thing is I’m at Biddeston which is about 25-30mins west of the city and have about 300m of gravel driveway. I’ve got a concrete floor, trolley Jack and basic tools. So if you get stuck and it’s of any help, give me a buzz. I’ll probably still in the shed phaffing on the EK!

Cheers, Andrew

We made it safely to Sydney today after a quick run across the Nullarbor , not a lot of traffic at 38000’ 🤣🤣👍

Amazing how that happens, isn't it? If I fly to Perth, I walk out of the airport with a nagging sense of having cheated.

Thanks Andrew,
Three cars coming from SA via Goondiwindi. May call in and say hello if you're around.

Bugger. I’m the other side of the island this week for work ☹️ Would have been good to catch up for a beverage.
