....well the cabin has. Remember that I had to get the moulds etc away from my composite guys shed as the bushfires were getting close a couple of weeks ago[?]. Anyway my brother needed his trailer back so today I thought that I would take the gear to Firebird HQ and drop the trailer to my brother.I had just put a new fuel filter on the VP C'dore, and replaced the faulty fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail. I headed off and about 2 km from home I felt a surge with the vehicle and I looked in the mirror to see if a trailer tyre has blown, BUT all I coud see was a Firebird cabin sitting on the bitumen in the middle of the dual lane carriageway. POO,[
!] I thought, here comes a semi!!![:0] I do a 180 and roar back on the median strip as the semi changes lanes to miss the cabin which is sitting in the flying position pointing along the road. [:0]I do another 180 and pull over beside the cabin as another semi changes lanes!!! I slide the cabin out of harms way and think, POO that was close. The 6'X 4' trailer has 6' mesh sides to it, and how she, the cabin, got out of there amazes me. It must be one hell of an aerodynamic cabin is all I can say!!!
] Very little damage at all!!![^]I drove home from the fires in the dark but I guess I was not on a hwy and today I had a head wind!!!Aussie Paul.[
