John & Dianne's Tow Cars

[1954homemade]

Hi John & Di,

Glad to hear that the Ute seems to be running ok again. There is nothing like a looming deadline to get things sorted out fast

Will keep my fingers crossed that you have a safe & trouble free trip.

Luv Di

Hey Reddo. Yes it is the same 55 that was matt black at Maroochydore. I remember you well.
That was our first camp with the mob and look what it did to us.
Another van and another tow car. Can't get enough of it !

I'm sure the ol ute will get us there and back.

Cheers . John

With the ute motor a little tired after the Cowra trip we are relying on the 55 now unless we take the Commodore and that just won't do ! Trouble was when I drove the 55 to work last week the auto wasn't happy. It wouldn't change properly and slipped when I put my foot down . A quick inspection found the pan gasket had popped out one side and fluid spewed everywhere. I fitted a new gasket and fluid thinking it was just low, causing the problems . Still no good, I booked in with my trans guy and headed off early this morning only to run out of fuel five minutes from home.
I don't have a mobile phone so had to knock on a door right where I stopped . Nice people let me ring Dianne and ask her to bring a tin of fuel so we could get to the next servo. Anyway we left the Chev at the trans shop and he rang later to tell me it was just a sticky TV valve and the box doesn't have to come out. He took it for a test drive on the wet roads and figures because it spun the tires in overdrive it aint slipping !. I took it home this afternoon and it feels good again. Yaahoo !!!
Maindenwell with Jellybean here we come !
