Starting to wonder if this climate change stuff is true, after leaving work today I had to use rags to grip the steering wheel to drive to some shade and let the car cool down.

Not so much angry just ‘frustrated’ I guess , FINALLY got back working after the continual rain around Powelltown saw me work 12days in 6 weeks - not ideal after a quiet winter, we had a big week then the truck developed a strange ‘rumble’ ( for want of a better description ) , thinking ( hoping ) I’d done a bearing in a diff or worst case gearbox but after checking everything we investigated further & ended up pulling the sump off to discover a cracked block . Awesome . So the big red Cummins came out & I put a brand new crate motor in it . It’s done 1.7million all up & 800,000 since the last rebuild so I’m not complaining but the $50,000 bill isn’t ideal .

I did see you on the freeway at Yarragon the other day, I tooted and waved and nearly fell out the window trying to get your attention, then realised you wouldn't have recognised the car and just thought I was some weirdo.
Truck looks bloody immaculate for having done 1.7m kms!!

No doubt in my mind (about climate change) but find one of those towelling steering wheel covers a better option than rags. This one has been on the car since I bought it & did several years service on a previous vehicle before that. No fried pinkies & has even been washed to rid it of the stench of diesel & fish 'n' chips a few times.
