Caravans, Cars and Trucks

Hello, my name is Richard and I live in a small town in New South Wales. If there is one thing I love, it is the sound of an engine as it roars into life. My real 9-to-5 job is working for a corporate insurance company but in reality, I just do that to pay the bills. At the weekend, I like to work on my friend's vehicles to keep them in top condition. I know how to repair caravans, cars, and trucks to keep them on the road. I decided to start this blog to help other people with their auto problems.
