Just after some sympathy actually.
I bought this car from Melbourne and my friend drove it out, we met up in Adelaide & took the scenic route... everything fine through to Oodnadatta, Painted Desert.
2 minutes on the Mulga Park Rd and "Hey, what's that noise?" "Don't worry, keep going" said wise me. Fortunately Christoph stopped and there was a bloody giant rear-axle U-bolt half into one of my brand new BFGs. Ouch. One spare left. Around Umuwa, got out to take a photo, ssssssssssss said the tyre (same location LR again). A spanner this time! Only about 500kms to go and no spares. No kit because I'm waiting for my tyrepliers to come in from my work connection (can't possibly do both spares on that trip ay).
Anyway, we got in safely and I've done some way dodgie patch jobs, but they're holding air so they're so much better than nothing. Work car tyrepliers coming with for now.
