As the winter draws closer in melbourne, i feel the need to install a driver's side window in the Camry. It's cold. And my periferal vision whilst driving is impaired by the amount of parkers I have to wear to keep warm in the car. Windows or no, the Camry endures.
I believe no other family has showed such devotion to white, late 80's Camry station wagons, having had 3 in our branch, with special mention to Daniel Roff for his contribution.
The one and only reason my Camry is alive today, is the work of one man, and that man is Spannerman. Starter motors, tyres, radiators, brakes or no brakes......or brakes that have fused together into a metal lump, thanks Dad, you've really been there for me on this one. I will bring the Camry to Box Hill in the morning. I know you have nothing better to do than work on my car.
And on this subject, thanks to Julia for rescuing me, my crew, and thousands of dollars worth of recording equipment when we broke down in Ringwood.
Vive le Camry!

Camrys, winter and Melbourne do not mix.
A faulty de-mister in my camry requires me to drive with the air conditioner on at all times, so I am familiar with the constrictive nature of having to wear every item of clothing you own in order to arrive at least partially defrosted at your destination. Although, I do have a driver's side window, and Spannerman fixed my doors so I no longer have to climb through the boot to get into my car. I suppose I can't really complain.
But it's not just the Roffs! I went away over the weekend with a friend who also drives a white camry stationwagon. His driver's side windscreen wiper does not work so consequently, when it rains, he has to drive leaning over the front passenger so he can see the road in front of him. Road trips in winter require a full time chiropractor on staff.
I suppose what I'm trying to say with all this is GO CAMRY!
speaking of cold.... I am in middle-of-nowhere Michigan in a blizzard and havent had a day over freezing for a week! seriously, why would you choose to live in this much snow?
who was this "friend" you went on a weekend get-away with...hmmm?
curious cousin,
k8
this 'spannerman' you talk so highly of, does he only fix cars or can he fix the hole in my bank account too?
lainey is the sharpest wit on the roff report hands down!
