Welcome to insanity Carl! - though possibly not so insane to live
somewhere where its top down all year!
Dont meet trouble half way however, lots of things break/wear out/drop
off or otherwise malfunction from time to time but why worry til it
happens??!
Once youve read this list for a while you'll start to recognise your cars
shortcomings,
since there's close to 1000 people on this list - all breaking down all
over the world and discussing what happened! you can be fairly sure
you'll see the common ones fairly soon
Enjoy it! - we folk in the frozen north have this idea of you aussies
cruising around in the sun with babes in bikinis and tubes of fosters -
so go do it!
