send me an sms tomorrow, will grab the kit from work that i spoke of.... if we still stock them/ sell them.

Didn't manage to sort this out so will be a job to do at the bonfire still. Any volunteers?

Thick smoke coming from the front forest with lotsa fire brigades.

Hooly Dooly I thought that said 'Thick smoke coming from the front of your car'

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.

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.

Car / truck crash might have been the culprit

Sorry guys I'm out, too much work to do this weekend and still lots to do to get organised for Bathurst

First to post after the event, what do I win?

That was a quick trip back to Melbourne .

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.

Got home a hour ago.. Hope everyone else got home safe aswell
