Re cat or something under car.

We were camping in the Blue Mountains, west side, Gardens of Stone. Anyway, I was in our fridge rustling up a 17 course fire side dinner.

While in the boot, in our 3̶ 4 star Michelin restaurant setup a possum bit me on the toe. Looked under the car & couldn't see anything, after the second bit of meat having been removed, there he was sitting on the under floor central heating... exhaust. He should be eating flora & not fauna. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Never ceases to amaze me the state of cars that idiots are apparently driving around in. I especially love the worn out brakes ones where the disc has been worn away by the metal pad backing plate. But what to do if your metal pad wears away and there is still some disc left? Why just weld a new friction surface on, genius. Rolling with laughter

Beggars belief that motors are treated like that and owners are so naive.

I wish journalists would actually look and think about what they are writing. The wheel is not missing at all. The steel wheel has been crushed against the hub and disk presumably after the druggy/alco/moron driver (delete as appropriate) lost the tyre through deflation. Jules

I know what you mean, my 28 year old daughter always refers to her tyre as a wheel but whenever I pull her up on it she says ''who cares what its called, its still the wheel '' Thud Banging Head
