Dead kombi help required near Newcastle

Weeeeeeeeeeell, after a quick top end rebuild at Valla, my bottom end seems to have expired at Hexham. I need somewhere to have it towed to, and stored for probably 2 weeks. Pleez. Maybe you could post some of the pics here Kol?

Mobile ....yes.
Home ......Dunno.

Chris left here yesterday heading for his outlaws at Wangi, I left half hour behind him & didn't find him on the side of the road, so he made it that far at least.

And now young Chris I have a bone to pick with you.
When Zac said Chris had given him some money, I assumed you'd slipped him a few coins off your floor.
Not the wad he produced at 6 o'clock last night.

Please explain......:o

Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.

It is fucked again. For whatever reason it had enough blowby to pump a sump full of oil into the aircleaner. Probably broke some rings when started wif no oil.

It is now dripping oil onto the southbound caltex service centre at Wyong. I will leave it there until I decide what accelerant to use when I torch the bastard.

Basically I am at the same stage I was 5 weeks ago only maybe 50kms closer to home.

Zac and the kids get $10 each cos their Dad wouldnt tell me what booze to buy. Sorry Spook you missed out mate.

Bad luck Chris, sorry to hear about the continuing probs. Remember what we found on the ground in the camp.

Kerosene is good mate, burns clean and its cheap 😀
Look on the bright side tho, its sitting a lot closer to Valla for next year. 😀😀
It's all packed and ready only needs an engine!!!

Met dad down the club. He was reluctant but has given me the keys.
2.8 litres of turbo charged diesel sitting in the drive. Heading up first thing Sunday morning.

I think the turbo diesel may be a better form of motivation for the kombi next time! :P
