    Weekend near miss one lucky T5

    Last nights storm nearly claimed my trusty T5 work van the bulk of the tree was leaning hard against the rear tailgate glass and it did not break , our other two T5,s were under the carport so I had jammed mine as far as I could get it forward , six inches further back and well maybe tree one van nil .[IMG][/IMG]

    You are one very lucky van owner.
    Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

    Yes I just happened to see the storm on the weather radar and decided at the last moment to jam it up as close to the other one as I could if I had left it where I would have normally crrrrunch . Mind you we could not get out the drive for over 24 hours typical isn,t it I had bought a chain saw a few weeks ago to cut up another tree that fell in the back yard , and wouldn,t you know it we were with out power for most of the day and yes you guessed it the bloody chain saw was electric DOH .
