+1 , totally true story, been there, been helped like that -- similar, but was in the Ozarks and a good ol' boy soldered up pop's radiator on the '57 ford, but he did let us pay for the 20 cents for the solder. Have even helped others similarily after I done grown up* ! Must be Aussie's are not of the helpful sort, eh ?
sure do dislike agitators with the same first name and similar handle ?
* I carried a spare fuel pump in my '71 Datsun pickup when I used to drive the back roads near St. Helens. Guy stopped on a steep uphill in a Datsun, no fuel. Put my pump into his truck. Asked him to send me my cost for the pump when he got home - 'arthur' musta been a transplanted aussie, never heard from him !
