What The F#@K!!!

In a service station up near Redcliffe I saw this interesting vehicle.............

Does this mean it's a mobile surgery? And what do they mean by 'Satisfaction Guaranteed'?

"Mate, I guarantee I'll feel real satisfied once I've removed all your organs. You'll be lying in a bathtub full of ice in a seedy motel bathroom, but I'll be satified."

Until next time. Check ya' later.

How's your car?

It never ceases to amaze me at the amount of people that don't maintain their cars properly. I mean, how hard is it to check the tyre pressure or even have a quick look to see if you actually have any tread left on them. The number of cars that I tow in Brisbane with bald tyres is quite astonishing. I'm not just talking low on tread or even heavily worn, these are cars with smooth rubber and sometimes the steel belt is hanging out. I know because when I go to strap the car down, I spike myself in the hand with them.

Also, just a little note to people that are going to have their car towed. Spray a little disinfectant around inside it. Seriously. I'm getting really tired of towing stinky cars. That means you Mr. and Mrs. Bee Ohh.

And on that note I will bid you adieu.

I love holidays!

Well, Easter is over for another year. I had six days off and man, was it relaxing. I revelled in doing stuff-all the whole time. I did do a little skateboarding and worked on my wifes' dirt bike, but apart from that...., nothing!
It might sound strange to some people (my wife included), that I can veg-out like that but when you work the hours I do, sitting around staring at the walls can be quite attractive at times.
Now it's over and I'm back at work I can appreciate that I should have done a little more on my break. oh well, what's done is done and as much as we would sometimes like to go back and do-over, we can't and just have to accept it. Ahhh, hindsight is a wonderful thing.

That's all folks. The Tow Truck Guy.

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.
