Funny thing to think about, but . . . driving from Albany to Perth last week, I suddenly realised that I have not seen a hitchhiker for years. They used to be quite common. Are they still out there? Just idle curiosity. Must admit I would not pick anyone up these days. Cheers, Tony

Hi, after reading the Other Side of Life thread, got me thinking... Do any of you carry spare parts for your tug or van?
