Well here is a story for some. Very interesting and gives a bit of a bad point about Bega & Parramatta Rd car dealers. Enjoy
First day:
Bought Ford Fairlane ZL from Paramatta Rd for a bargin of $1200 with 6 cyc EFI, 3 speed auto.
Second day:
Grab mate and decide to go for a drive to wherever, get to Cronulla, refuel ( 75L tank ) and
of down south we head. Well time just flu and so did the Km's lol.
Playing around with the computer with shows all types a stuff, anyway when we had a look at the
Km's left, it stated 55Km's.
Now i knew there were no servo's open 55k's back and the nearest main suburb was Bega ( yes time flu
that quick lol) which was 60k's down the road.
To cut a long story short were counting the k's left to go and the predicated k's left in the tank
( crossin our fingers ). Made it to bega! Wow that was a mirracle, 1km left in the tank... woohoo.
Go to the servo but it's shut so while were thinking wtf to do next, guess who turns up? The police, breath test yadda
yadda and told us where a 24hour servo was, which was 2k's down the road.
Only just making it there with it coughing and splattering, we fill the thing up ( $90 !!! ).
Yippie lets get the flying %&%^ out of this place. 40k's down the road the dash flickers and volts go to swfa. Knowing that
there was a new battrey and terminals i sniffed a reason for it being the price it was. I assumed the allternator.
Well anyways, head back to Bega back outside the servo and decide to let it idle a bit, volts went up which i found weird.
So we decide the dc the battrey to see where the problem was, well that was just the best $#%% idea of all lol. Car died
and it wouldn't fire with the battrey.
So we end up spending the night in Bega, ( in the car ) whilist only wearing shirts. I tell you what, it's one of the coldest
$#^%ing holes in the universe. 
After a cold night, and up walking down to the mech, he can't help but just says there's a auto electricin 5k's down the road.
Great what to do next. Walk next door spend $80 on a new battrey and popped that in. It burnt a earth wire?!
So i replace the earth wire with a screw driver and walla it starts. ( why would it burn tho? )
Get down to the auto elec and he says he can't help, try this place insted which was another 3k's. Went there and got it
fixed. ( had to sit around till 1pm). Turned out the alternator bracket had vibrated f, apprently had being doing so for some
time.
Left at 3.30pm buggered and anoyed lol.
Ok it's not the worst but hey it's something different lol.
