I do this all the time when bringing the bins in (a well placed occy strap can create a wheely road train for both bins)

Trouble is my drive is only 100m long but it wraps around the shed, one day in the first 30m I forgot I had just put the bins on and took the bend quicker than I do with the bins causing them both to fall off through the garden cracking the recycling bin and stuffing quite a few plants

A lot of money doesn't equal a lot of taste.
No need to ask why he is selling it.
Interior colour wouldn't be my first choice to match with exterior colour.

Better in your pocket than theirs. I once saved $40 using a fuel voucher. If you have a voucher why not.

Our Ranchwagon has a 200L tank. We use fuel vouchers whenever we can, avoid the E10.

Laughed at this guy with a nice Mustang, having a whinge at Bamaga (top of Cape york) about the price he'd just had to pay for fuel ..... He was quoting the price for diesel! He was towed away and had about 120L of very expensive diesel dumped from his tank!

Had a guy from my work come up to me and ask "what does it mean when your car temp gauge needle goes to full red(H) for 30mins then needle goes back to below the start"??????

I told him that sounds like he has lost coolant and may have cooked it!!!

So I took a look at it and could see a big dirty hole in on the side of his expansion tank, he then said could we just put some blue-tak or something on it no way he could drive it home so I took him to ford (Eagle Farm-around the corner from my work) and got a new tank/coolant/stat then fitted to his car --bleed the system, all good. checked the oil level and next to no oil in it

Told him to get oil on his way home.

That was 3 weeks ago

asked him yesterday-hows the car, he said good but still has not put any oil in it

thought I would try to save him some money by helping him out but the dude just wont listen--car needs oil or will eventually self distruct

Don't know why you even bothered.
I wouldn't help him push his car off a busy freeway.

Gee that Poo brown 991 with the red interior looks shocking. Typical Queenslander car. Surprised Porsche allowed the colour combo. All Queenslanders taste in cars (and just about everything else) is up their a*ses, so it doesn't surprise me.

Posers don't buy new Rollers mate. If he had a Roller he was the real deal.

Posers buy C63 AMG's
