On Friday George spent his holiday working on Drews car fitting a new clutch followed on the Saturday pulling apart the front on my engine to get at an oil leak from the oil pump, being a holiday weekend he tried to think of every possibility but an o'ring the shape of Australia was to put a stop to things so no car till Tuesday at best.
George and his dad worked miracle to find an O'ring that had a 2 week wait from Nissan and late that night I had my car back...wahoo!!!
I have to thank all the boys from HT's for helping as George was even going to offer his car to me if as he knew the importance of this trip... which brings me to the whole point of this trip in the first place and that is to say good bye to my mum and have some mates along the way to enjoy such a journey.
I am really looking forward to this trip but it is kind of bitter sweet as to its reason..... I need a good spot (top of blue rag) and I think I want to do it on the Friday as Mags will stay at camp on the Saturday..
I have to take lots of photo's for my family that cannot be there...... where we are going is a long way from where my mum grew up in Bolton... moved to Canada then back to England then to Australia where she struggled to come to terms... she hitch hiked across the nullarbor plain twice and always said to me that before I see the world I should see this country as it is so beautiful..
Now I have to make sure I dont forget her as she is by the front door on top of the piano.... mental note.
Glad to have so many mates coming along and going to meet some new faces on the way... should be good kids Lets have a good time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
