No one thought I’d do it, but they were wrong. Then once I got it going, they thought it wouldn’t last. They were wrong again. I’m proud to say that I went ahead with my diesel enthusiasts club, and not only have I gone ahead with it, but I’ve also amassed a total of 100 enthusiasts in the last six months. There’s even talks of taking this club national, with reps located in different states. The club is totally free to join. At times we might request people to throw some money in if we want to do an event somewhere that might need catering or things that we need to hire. Most people don’t mind chipping in. I think a lot of the enthusiasts just love being out with like-minded people in an environment where it’s socially acceptable to talk about cars as much as they like. 

None of this would’ve been possible without the advice from the best diesel mechanic close to Raceview. He’s helped me a lot with my diesel car and given me a lot of insight into diesel cars in general. In fact, a lot of the enthusiasts that are part of the club have joined the club through his introduction. He does work on all our diesel cars. Some mechanics just have the knack and passion to be able to identify and fix any issue. Everyone here at the club says it. I think one club session turned into a mechanic enthusiast session more than a diesel vehicle session! That’s totally fine by me. 

I recently needed a clutch repair by a professional mechanic on my car and everyone at the club was so ready to give advice and help me out. I of course took the car to my trusted mechanic. I’m sure there are other mechanics out there who could also do a great job, but I know this guy is the best. As he is a fellow diesel enthusiast, I know he’ll put care and attention into every diesel repair he does. Others at the club have reported this same customer service.

I’m currently on the hunt for a new car. Not because I want one, but unfortunately because I need one. My last car was written off in an accident that wasn’t my fault. Well, I like to say it wasn’t my fault. It depends who you ask. The other party is adamant it was my fault. Taking the never-ending insurance debate out of it, I now need to find a new car. Looking at cars is somehow a lot less fun when it’s something you need to do. Usually, I’d be scouring the internet for various types of luxury sports cars, but now I’m just looking at pieces of junk while hoping for the best. All I know is that there is no way I’m getting any car without having a pre-purchase inspection done first. There are so many dodgy people on the internet and working in used car yards. I’m definitely getting a second opinion.

I’ve just heard so many horror stories about people buying used cars and then discovering all these issues with only a week’s worth of driving. Then it’s a matter of good luck trying to get in touch with the person who sold it to you! They’ve always either moved away, had their phone number disconnected, shut their garage down or blame the new owner for the car troubles. I’ve already spent enough money on this accident – I’m not prepared to spend even more repairing a car that was already in poor condition. That’s why I’m getting a trustworthy mechanic near Morayfield to inspect any vehicle before I purchase it.

I think I have found a car I like. It’s in decent condition and doesn’t have too much mileage. The owner is only selling because they currently have two vehicles and simply need to rid themselves of one due to moving to a new home that doesn’t have room for two cars. I can’t notice any real cosmetic issues with the car, and everything sounded in working order on the test drive. Guess I’ll wait and see what the mechanic says.

I have a feeling my daughter has been lending her car out to this really horrible friend of hers. Her best friend is a crude and rude girl who can’t get her life together and takes advantage of my daughter. The most recent example of this is the last time I went to visit my daughter. It seemed like she was trying to hide her car from me. Then there was this one day when she was missing from her apartment for a couple of hours. When she came back she was suddenly all in the mood to take me for a cruise. 

Despite not living in the same state as my daughter for the last ten years, I can read her adorable face just like I could when she was five. She may be intelligent, but she is also the world’s worst liar. The car was a gift that I gave her, so I know she’s trying her hardest to take care of it. Before giving the car to her I arranged for a car servicing mechanic near Bentleigh to take a look at the car and ensure it would be in the best possible condition. My daughter has done a great job of taking care of said car. Her friend on the other hand? Trouble. I have a sneaking suspicion she did some damage to the brakes. I’m not working as a detective for no reason. I could see how hesitant my daughter was every time she pressed her foot down. 

I knew there was nothing wrong with her brakes until recently because just before I gifted her the car, I made sure it had a brake repair. Close to Moorabbin, there is a great brake repair mechanic and I made sure he did the job. There was no reason for her brakes to be damaged so soon. Besides, my daughter drives with care. There’s no doubt in my mind that her friend caused this as she seemed very distant when speaking about said friend. It takes a lot to get my daughter upset, and I could tell there was something wrong.
