Right Time and Right Place

Saturday, 5 October 2013

Talking about the right time, the right place and God's leading hand.  We were meant to be there.

She was standing alone at the side of the road, with a phone to her ear, and a car ditched.   Mike stopped and asked if she was alright.  She said she had no family in the city and she was calling her employer but they could not come to help because of the business/customers.   She got her driving licence not too long ago and was on the way to work but had driven a little too fast at the curve and her car spun once and ended in the ditch.  The road was obviously slippery after some rain during the night.

Grateful that the two truck came shortly to pull it out.  Except for a little dent, it was a blessing that her car was okay.   And most importantly she was not physically hurt.  She was emotional and shakened when we spoke to her.

Blown Tyre!

Saturday, 25 April 2009

Luckily we noticed the blown tyre and drove the trailer to a gas station before the rim got to the road surface!



Who would have known that one stubborn lug nut could not be unscrewed! Michael and Roger tried with all their strength but somehow it wouldn't come out. We even tried to pull the lug nut out using the force of a moving car but it only shake the trailer!


A motor insurance company was called but for some reasons the service guy was not able to help us.

There was no choice but to grind that particular bolt that had the impossible and dead-locked lug nut on! We didn't have a grinder and it had to be purchased miles away!

The guy who borrowed us his trailer wanted it back by early afternoon Saturday. The tyre burst about 3 pm. He is lucky that he didn't end up dealing with that difficult tyre because it was definitely due to go!
