Turns out I didnt have to work, but thats the way I go. The place I work is on the road between Tanunda and Lyndoch, but the office is at Nurioopta. Its a good drive, so yeah on a normal day I do go that way Its mega cold up there though, my last shift my heater wasnt hot until Lyndoch and my windscreen getting fogged up on the outside because frost was forming.
On another note, I think something has just blown (or about to blow up) in the 'line. yesterday it stalled once, today about 10 times and it blows blue/white smoke after I floor it (like on gearchange)
