SPRATTY SAYS 22nd February 2008
In town they say rain is good for the garden, farmers would never knock it back and the Prawn fishos would always appreciate any assistance from wherever they can get it. BUT there is abundant merit in lazy hazy summer days too, just a thought as summer dribbles its way to a pretty damp end.
The big upside of protracted wet weather is from the lazy gardener’s point of view it’s raining excuses. There’s no need even to be creative, just point to the heavens and shake your head, mower stays safe and snug in the shed, beer o’clock gets realigned relative to the international dateline (brought forward) and not a tut to be heard. The only problem is during breaks in the weather Mrs Spratty, the engine room of the outfit, goes into overdrive playing catch up gardening. Gentlemen, for these fleeting moments just remember God created Bunning’s, who knows you might actually need something there.
Due to public demand and as part of my quest to achieve new heights of ineptitude, a new Mighty River TV commercial will be fouling your viewing very soon, watch for the offer though, it will help. In other sales news, Mat Heal from Grafton has decided to have a crack at sales, if early signs
are any indication he should be right, call into Fitzroy street and ask him some hard questions just to make sure he's on his toes.
On sales, just in, the new Hyundai Van, the iLoad and People Mover, iMax, as well as hard to get automatic diesel i30 hatchbacks. Hyundai have definitely done their homework on the new commercial vehicles, coming up with petrol and diesel solutions to a wide variety of applications, in style. Be quick for the diesel i30s though, the backorders are building quickly.
Also on the work front, we have temporarily relocated our Caravan Parts and accessories to our Fitzroy Street Parts department, pending the construction of a permanent home to parts in Spring Street. Sorry to inflict a trip over the bridge to those impacted but hopefully it shouldn't be for too long.
Finally I have been pretty gobsmacked all summer at the passing parade of broken down cars towed in to our Victoria Street Hyperdome, not just at the manner in which some folks are attempting to cart their families significant distances up and down the Pacific Highway but in the ability of the guys in the workshop to diagnose and rectify pretty much every single car, boat, caravan, truck, ute, van of whatever make or model that is presented to them. Ok, some of the more exotic stuff takes them a little longer, but eventually everybody continues on their journey.
Happy Motoring
Spratty
