We set off for Childers to finally get the rego for the van, taking the econovan for a run. We got about 1km up the road and Al said, "There's something wrong." Then we could smell burning rubber.
We crawled back home with the overheated wheel, and took the Tarago to Childers.
The lady at the Court House couldn't believe the trouble I'd had trying to register the econovan early, until I told her about the Government - trying to debate what to do with the CTP charges.
Then she understood the delay. We had to do an *estimate*, second guessing what the government was going to decide with charges. Then she wrote me a letter, explaining WHY I needed an early rego, and a certificate to prove I'd paid.
At home, Al has taken the wheel off to see what happened to the van, and is in the process of eliminating causes.
I suppose it was just as well it happened now and not when we were loaded up ready to hit the road. Which we should have been already. :-/
