what did you do to your car today?

I got a flat tyre on my wagon this morning... Didn't get the torque specs for the wheel nuts off here before I did the wheel nuts up on the spare and I drove to and from work without checking them...

I changed the starter motor … and didn’t use a torque wrench for any of it.

Hope this doesn't go any further but I broke the law on Sunday. I took the vh for a 60 k run on Sunday. Going to my destination and on the way back I overtook 3 cars at a time (they were nana driving). I had to get up to about 101 kph overtaking them. I think it was safe but others might not. I haven't been contacted by the cops so I might have got away with it. Fingers crossed.

One of the greatest inventions has been cruise control. I am sure I would have spent a bit of walking instead of driving without it. I possibly don't spend all that much time driving the vh so it possibly doesn't warrant it.

To my defence, I haven't had mine calibrated, so there is a distinct possibility it's accuracy may be questionable...

Oh no...That's a jailable offense....Lock you up, throw away the key...Impound the car and crush it.

2nd thoughts....You're an older citizen and the chances of it every happening again are very remote, so we'll let you off the hook with a smack on the wrist....

Don't worry, I got up to 115 kph whilst going uphill with a campervan in tow overtaking a fecking combine harvester on the Bass Hwy yesterday, only because the person directly behind it dawdled when we got to the overtaking lane.
