Hey. So this weekend I drove to small ford Sunday. I've done 1500km and now my eskie has died. The gearbox or clutch has died. Not sure which yet. There's a shop looking at it at the moment but I'm waiting for a call.
Right now I'm sitting at JT's take away shop On ebden st, south albury. If it comes to it I might have to stay somewhere tonight. Would any good samaritans maybe wanna let me crash on a floor or something? Or just come chill for a while. Wouldn't mind some company sitting here haha. My number is 0438766302

Might take longer than a night. I might end up heading home. Apparently the gear selector or something is broken. Said it might take a week for parts etc. No idea hat

Ended up stayin in a motel. Best shower of my
life after spending the whole day in the sun basically. Major tan-age!! New gearbox is on it's way down with my dad. Hopefully her by 1. Then it's time to bolt it on and NOT find any other problems! Thanks for the kind words and for the offer ghoafude. Luckily I sold my falcon 2 weeks ago so I had some cash to get me outta trouble. Damn morons that had My eskie before me never put fluid in the gearbox, hence the destruction :(

Thanks Brooksy but it's all over now.
Finally home!! Got back at about 11:30 last night. My dad picked up a Sierra 5spd from Brian at Small Four Spares and drove it down yesterday morning, got there at about 1:00, we went and had lunch got icecream and i got back at 2:30 and they still hadn't started :( It did only take them 1hr 45mins so i was outta there by 5:00 and on the road. Then some pigpoo poo richardhead stole my CD case OUT of my car at a servo through the window, and then my bloody headlights wouldn't work. They still don't work. No idea why, they were working the night before and the fuses looked alright but i had to drive with highbeams for about 200km and i ****ed off ALOT of truckers (flashing me back or turning on their rear highbeam lights at me) doing it, i tried to be courteous flicking them off as i passed but it's a bit scary driving with no headlights at 115km on pitch black roads.. Oh and then one my tail lights wouldn't work and i put my fist through it. All in all I had a poo poo day.
