Re: 2011 Club Bonfire
Guess what!? I hit mivec and slip through those fire trucks then sprint over the thick smoke 
Ok, true story is that I waited for like 45mins and the smoke got thicker and the traffic control started putting up those cones to close the road, so i made a U-turn and drove for like 10kms then turn into the shortcut route "eighth mile ln" country roads.
But it was no better than the story above as I was driving in blindfolded with the thick fogs throughout the small road and sharp turns which I nearly drove into the forest (wished my headlights got the auto steering system like holden ads)
Anyway all good now. I'm at the lawso's place at the moment.

Re: 2011 Club Bonfire
lol, quick thinking, bit dangerous though! I probably would've done the same thing though after driving for that long and getting frustrated.
Glad you made it through.

Re: 2011 Club Bonfire

At least you are well one the way. Shumie dumped oil just on Batemans Bay. Sounds like the engine might be in a bad way.
