    A huge thank you Ron, aka Wizard, for getting me out of a pickle today. I was on my way
    to Tempe Tyres to have some new front shoes fitted, when without warning, the zed dropped dead:mad: :mad: ,
    out near Holsworthy barracks. My immediate thoughts were the PTU has had enough and having a spare,
    I though NP do a swap, but being the fool that I am, I left it in the garage:( .
    I get on the phone and give the Wiz a call and without batting an eyelid, Ron arrives in 15 minutes:)
    We shove Wiz's new series 2 in and half a crank latter zed lives.:zlove:
    So cheers me old sock, thanks for helping out a fellow zedder. Go MZM.:biggrin: :biggrin:

    Well you'd like to think that those who do good deeds will get rewarded.
    Well not this day.:(
    Wizard has just contacted me to say that he was rear ended by an idiot in a truck on his way to work.:mad:
    Smashed the rear up causing a lot of damage, truck had a bullbar (for some reason?).:eek:
    I'm sure Wiz will post here after work. Worlds not a fair place is it. :bash:

    WTF!!!

    Damn hey...

    Never good to hear when someone gets hit by another vehicle or anything like that at all, EVEN WORSE when it's after they've done a good deed. :(

    Hope Insurance covers it and Ron is back on the road in no time at all!

    ONYA RON!

    Ay Carumba!

    Who in Sydney hasn't been helped by the likes of Wiz or Chili? Crap news about Wiz being rear ended. Hope he can get it back on the road soon without too much hassle, $$$ and psychological dramas. I think sometimes after such a long haul like he has had that something like this may be the final straw but I hope I am wrong.
    Cheers Wiz

    Ron is a legend, one of the kindest and dignified ppl I've had the pleasure of meeting. I hope the damage isn't anything more than cosmetic bolt on parts, and the Zed makes a speedy recovery.

    I'm assuming Ron is ok after the shunt?

    Only because you are beyond all help(accept from your Maker).:p:p:p:bash::zlove:
    Might have been a nice gesture to express some sorrow about Wiz's misfortune, rather than your own.:p:banned::bash::zlove:

    Wiz is a legend!

    Sorry to hear about the rear ending Wiz, I hope its not too bad.

    A couple of years ago. I was caught out by a failed PTU too on the exit off the M5 at king georges road. It was Wiz that saved the day and SENT Brett to come save my day! LOL

    One of the kindest people I have met.

    Cheers Ron

    So, did your Series II PTU die Wayne??? That'd be almost a 1st. Or was it a Series I and you have now upgraded to a Series II?

    Sorry to hear about your mishap Ron. I hope it wasn't your Zed you were driving, but if it was that it's easily repairable (but that they don't get the paint right until after Cowra). :eek:

    Might give someone else a chance to get some trophies. :biggrin:

    Cheers,

    Peter

    No death to a series 2 Peter, it was a series 1 PTU that had the dick, actually it was
    the conectors that were corroded, so cleaned them up and it now works.
    I have ordered a series 2 (as spare didn't work) so I shouldn't encounter that problem again.:cool:
