"It won't take long, it'll just take money"

"The mechanic raised up from under my hood
He shook his head and said, 'This ain't good
Your timin' belt's done, shrunk one size too small.

Those spark plug wires are a little too long
And your main prodsponder's nearly gone
Your injector ports are stripped and that ain't all."
"The torque converter's runnin' low on torque
And that water pump's nearly down a quart
But we caught it all in time so you're in luck"

...don't be downhearted, I can fix it for you, sonny
It won't take too long, it'll just take money"

The Polaris part arrived after a long wait, we fit it in, and after an hour of egg collection, the wheel broke (you can see the front right-side wheel in the photo).  The Land Cruiser engine blew up on the way to Gundagai, trailer full of stuff behind it too. The big FUSO truck in the middle of Harden got stopped for being past rego, trailer full of eggs too. The other ute's tyre got a puncture so a quick run to the Active AG Tyre was a gift from above.

It's been one of those weeks, what can you do? Just crank up the volume on that country song and -"it'll just take money"!
