Hi All,

Aaahhh, arrived home safe & sound from my holiday (apart from the oil leak that i have just noticed under the bonnet  ) but not without a scare.....

Travelling back from townsville & with approx 400km left of our journey i can admittedly say i shat myself!!

My girlfriend was in the hot seat while i was having a breather from driving, she was travelling at a (surprisingly for her) comfortable pace of approx 140km/h when she came across a stretch of road with a freshly resurfaced shoulder. She found herself driving on the loose gravel on the edge of the road & not wanting to upset me with any chips or scratches on the paintwork tried to adjust her driving line but did so a little too sharp, next i know we're drifting sideways on the loose gravel. With tyres squealling, gravel flying & hearts in throats she corrected the car several times while fishtailing side to side down the road surprisingly she managed to keep the car on the bitumen & not once laid a tyre on the dirt where we most probably would have rolled into the ditch. Everything still in one piece i calmed her down, swallowed my heart & changed my draws & took back the driving duties.

We were very lucky, good thing i drive a liberty with 5 star safety rating, even better thing we didnt have to test it out.

Now i gotta deal with this f#@ing oil leak.:angry2:
