Well day started with a bang and it went dowhill from there "groan" . Had a simple job at the Gold Coast got to customers house to find an awkward driveway , pulled up parallel with entrance and then worked out because of overhanging tree and telegraph pole I would need to take a wide swing from the middle of the road . Well peak hour traffic ment I had to make the move quickly {bad mistake} turned in only to find a bloody gate post with metal hinges buried amongst the over hanging tree crrrrrunch now i have some lovely srapes and shallow dents from sliding door back to rear flank . Then not more than 3 hours later backing out of another customers driveway bang drivers mirror torn backwards on another bloody gate post . I suppose i could blame myself for trying hard not to run over any pedestrians whilst reversing out but well thats what happens sometimes . This weekend will have some serious cutting and polishing to remove some marks , the mirror has had more hits than Muhammed Ali so this one will just require some more screws to get it back in place . As I said to Jmac the other week I will keep this van till it dies on its own or I kill it like my faithfull old T4 . Trucks and T4's don't play well together , one or the other will come off second best and you know which one it was that time .
