Do not drive on Ferntree Gully rd!

Postby gthofan » February 6th, 2009, 7:25 pm

Hey guys, just a heads up about ferntree gully rd between eastlink and jells rd/wheelers hill. The road is MELTING! :twisted: I discovered when i got home from work today, gooey, greasy tar is all underneathe the car, All around the wheel arches, and over my rear bumper. And it doesnt come off in the car wash, You have to polish it to get it off:(

So avoid it if you can while the hot weather is here, I drive it everyday, but its getting worse.

Cheers
Scott

Adelaide is meeeelting. Tomorrow they forecast 40 something and strong winds. Woot for us...

The tar should come off with the bug and tar remover spray. It's not that bad...
