10th October

Early start (early for us!) Brian had to have the car in to the Auto Electrician to have the rear caravan camera set up. We got it with the caravan but had never had the car set up to use it. During a heavy wind recently, a passing truck caused enough force to actually snap our driver side caravan mirror back against the car window....result broken but unmarked window, whew...lucky for us.

Brian walked back & again waited for the 2&1/2 hour job that took 5!!!!! Well we made good use of the time & cleaned the mud, red dust, dead flies, bird poop etc off the front of the van. Elbow grease was needed. I'm ashamed that i didn't take before and after photos. I was ashamed of it before. We didn't do the whole van, but did the really bad places & it's made such a huge difference. 

The car the brought back about 2pm and checked, & Brian returned him. He had 5 employees a year ago & with the down turn of the steel industry, he like so many others is about to close, he is on his own now & hardly any work! This is what happens to small towns when the main industry closes, very sad. This week saw the last car to be manufactured in Australia.👷🏻😪😪🚘🚘🚘
