Dave is an expat American living in Victoria Australia and a contributor to this forum. Amongst his A's is his very first motor car which he purchased whilst a college kid. It's LHD which is unusual here because we, once being a British Colony are RHD.
well I last year I was off to Murray Bridge in South Australia for our National Model A meeting. I overnighted at Tooleybuc which is a town on the New South Wales / Victorian boarder. The boarder being the Murray River.
Well an inspection revealed a thrown and frayed fan belt. What a nuisance. We'd need to take a drive back to Swan Hill and purchase a new belt. I figured it would be 11 in the morning I'd resume my journey to Swan Hill.
Well what would you think happened. In drove Dave, he too overnighting at Tooleybuc. Under his seat he carried a spare fan belt. I had never been so glad to see him before. So I take this opportunity to say I'm so grateful and thankyou.
I too carry a spare fan belt now under my seat.
