Was driving home from work tonight, and just got on the ramp to go over the Anzac bridge and the clutch cable snapped on the splitty! Stuck in the middle lane, I managed to coast over to the left.
Just as I did, a guy in a Bay pulled up behind me and I recognized him as the earthy bloke that was at Boris's picnic day up the far end with his missus selling hand painted pics of beetle and buses.
Being a splitty I didn't have hazard lights (which made things difficult) so the guy whos name I didn;t get drove behind me with his hazards on, whilst I started her up in first and hit the gas.
Managed to get to the off ramp and round the corner up on the curb. Thanks to the guy in the bay. Just shows the kindness of some people.
Had a clutch cable in the back, and my tools, and would of changed the cable there and then, but I was dressed in a suit, so I got the good old NRMA to tow me to a friends workshop in Botany to do the job on a hoist!.
This got me thinking...Is there a way to wire up a switch so that you can turn all four indicators on in an emergency and give a hazard signal. Anyone done this?
Cheers
Steve
