#1 throw new phone away and get 1 with spell check
Fair chance Holden wag behind the AU will be over weight but that being said BIG winds out there this time of year and fuel is over $2.00 per lt in places , unless your going for a holiday with a heap of time , I would truck it back providing it starts and runs $600 will get it back to Melb west side

3646 Ks from Dandenong @ 450ks 500ks a tank Max (less with trailer and car on it)@ $100 per tank = near on $700+ just for fuel one way - the value of the car your bringing back

yeah i know its but im attached to the thing as it was my best mates car..
i had it inline to be brought back on a truck but the issue is that someone whent and had some fun in it after he passed away and the gearbox needs looking at (could be clutch)

so unless theres another way im gonna have to do the drive...
