I Pull out of my street on Friday Arvo with the kids in the car. I pulled out behind an EB Falcon wagon with a "Dominos Pizza" sign on the roof. As I caught up to it I realized it had a near Flat rear tyre. I knew it was heading back to the shop as we were going to drive straight past.
I was in the GUIV. I thought I should follow them into theircarpark and let them know. Just in case. Then I remembered I had my air hose in the drawer. Winner.
The wagon was wearing a P Plate I thought it would be an Indian Student or something. All good.
I followed the wagon in and pulled up beside it in the car park. I puns down the window and this Young Aussie 18yo girl was driving. "Did you know you have a flat tyre?" " yes I put air in it a couple of days ago and it's gone down again?" " you need to put air in it or you will get a blowout!" "I will try not to use the car much tonight"
"I will pump it up for you now if you like" "no it's ok," I think she thought I was being creepy although I had 2 kids in my car!
"Nah no worries, it'll take me a minute and you can't drive around like that" " sorry I have to go inside and report back"
So she went inside and I pumped up her tyre without a second thought. When I finished and packed up I knocked on the window and she was smashing out more pizzas. I gave her a Thumbs Up and she said thank you. As I was reversing out I saw her take a look out the window and look at her car, she then looked at me again and you could see the thank you and relief on the face of a young girl who was working hard for her money who really appreciated the help of a stranger.
Karma is Good. Pay it forward. Maybe when my little girl is all grown up someone will give her a hand.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

Instead of the chain you could use this medieval style pot lifter.
There is also another style that is fencing wire bent in a heap of esses
with a hook on the top and bottom. Pic is of the first style
sorry about pic

04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Took my g6et for a sunday drive through the sunshine coast hinterland. Drove up and down the Kenilworth range..... fark that was fun. It handles pretty well for a luxo barge. The 6 pot brembos are amazing
