The Wacked Out Wednesday Tow List.

Hump-day for most, the last day of the work week for me. Woohoo!
This was a very un-typically quiet day, with only five cars towed for me.

1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL
2006 Kia Rio
1994 Nissan Pulsar
1997 Ford Fairmont
1994 Toyota Corolla

And that's the lot.

So now to the analysis..............
There is one clear pattern that emerged from this excersize. I really hate to state the obvious but some of you might have missed it.

DON'T DRIVE CARS! BUY A MOTORBIKE!

You want to help the environment, ease traffic congestion, make for easier parking in the cities? We should all be on motorbikes.

And that's all I'm going to say on the matter.
Catch you on the flip-flop. The Tow Truck Guy.

Tuesday Towings

A typical Tuesday saw the usual smattering of cars towed........

2000 Peugeot 206
1999 Holden Barina
2005 Mercedes-Benz A170
1977 Jaguar XJS V12
1998 Toyota Tarago
1994 Mitsubishi Magna
1976 VW Kombi
1990 Mitsubishi Magna

A fairly average eight car day but again, no real pattern there.
I wonder what the last day will hold.

See you then. The Tow Truck Guy.

What got towed on Monday.............

Monday is always busy for the whole fleet, although I try to stick to my ideal of "If you pay me $15 per hour, that's exactly how much work I will do".
Well here is the list.........

Daewoo Nubira 2001
Mazda Tribute 2007
Suzuki Swift 1989
Toyota Landcruiser 1989
Toyota Corolla 1996
Ford Falcon 1995
Hyundai Excel 1995
Holden Vectra 2002
Mitsubishi Magna 1997
Holden Commodore 2007

Just a mish-mash of makes and models, nothing really definative at all.
I'm hoping that by the end of the week a pattern will emerge, but maybe five days isn't enough time to form an understanding of an inanimate mechanical object.
Time will tell.

See ya' where the grass is greener. The Tow Truck Guy.

What gets towed continued...........

And now for the Sunday tow list......

Mini Cooper S 2008
Toyota Camry 1992
Chrysler Neon 1996
Landrover Discovery 1996
Holden Commodore 2000
Landrover Discovery 2008

Sunday is always a slow one, so only six cars
and no real pattern emerging yet.
Still, there's three more days in the week,
maybe something will show up later.

Until next time, The Tow Truck Guy.

Funny Shit!

I dropped off a car at a mechanics in Brisbane and noticed a sign on a truck window. The truck was parked outside this workshop on the street.

This is the drivers side window of the truck with the message vissible on the window.

I'm not sure what P.R. company would approve of that kind of advertising but it is definately effective, wouldn't you say? I must say I'm very curious as to the type of complaint and who was complained to. I won't loose any sleep over not knowing though. :)

See you round like a rissole. The Tow Truck Guy.

What gets towed??

I thought that an interesting way to answer a question I get asked alot, would be to list the cars that I tow each day for a week.

Since my work week starts on Saturday, that's where we will begin......

2006 Ford Courier Utility
1998 VW Golf Hatch
2003 VW Golf Hatch
1988 Mercedes Benz 560 Convertible
2004 VW Golf Hatch
1971 Ford Fairmont Sedan
1997 Toyota Corolla Sedan
1970 Lincoln Mecury Cougar Coupe

And that's it. Not a good day for VW Golf drivers.

Aloha from the Tow Truck Guy.

While I was driving.........

I remembered something from when I was a kid today. Just a funny little something that popped into my head. It goes.... Little Jack Horner sat in the corner, eating his pudding and pie. He stuck in his thumb and pulled out a semi-trailer and said, "F*ck me! I could have choked on that!"
So I thought of a new one. It goes...... Baa baa black sheep have you any wool? No sir, no sir, I'm a bloody Poodle.

Going through Brisbane CBD I could hear the church bells ringing out their tune. It all sounded very pretty but it made me think of the Monty Python skit about the Church bells. Now I'm getting this from my brain so if it's not verbatim you can chalk it up to a faulty memory.

Man: I wish those bells would be quiet.
Woman: It's quite nice dear. It's Sunday.
Man: Why should us Athiests have to put up with it?
Woman: You're a lapsed Athiest dear.
Man: The principle's the same. Bleedin' C of E. The Mohamadins don't come round here waving bells at us. We don't have Hindus harmonising in the hall or Shintoists shattering sheetglass in the shithouse and shouting slogans.
Woman: Alright. Don't practice your aliteration on me.
Man: Anyway. When I get my blazer badge and member card from the League of Agnostics I shall urge the executive to lodge a protest about those bells. Pass the butter knife. If only we had some kind of missile.

That's all for now.

Catch you on the flip side. The Tow Truck Guy.
