Saw a green moke on the road between Richmond and Windsor, um "Having a breather". It was that exhausted that it needed to be carried home by a friendly tow truck..

Oh, Iwannamini and 68matic what time did the truck arrive?

then djhaddo drop by with their mini,
Kev goes over to Antons place,

give Chris a call for fun,
news spreads like fart in a lift.

so, i think the spreader of this "fart" was indeed you Duc

so what is the go with Herman, whats dead?

Love how you called everyone else for help, just called me for fun...wot, you dont trust my mechanical skills or somein.....i have always got my cars started without daddies help (as long as it wasnt a harmonic balancer that shat itself

So....thats a long time for the towie...you not with NRMA??? ouch, thats a bit of a towing fee... I already got my money back!

To answer in short

1. We were in the middle of no where really and needed to get home. When you are in that situation, you call around.
2. Chris no we dont trust your mechanical abilities.
3. Looks like the distributor (condensor) has problems, the starter motor may have an issue and the solenoid may not be playing either
4. NRMA charge you a bl00dy $200 fee to join on the spot AND towing charges over 20km. Windsor to Cabramatta is 50km.. so the tow would cost $100 alone. A bit of sweet talking from me and Trevor was added onto my NRMA policy for not much at all so all it cost was the tow.

Thank you Marcello

yeh just to be safe im gonna renew
coil
solenoid
condensor
points
