So, 12 months ago I spent 2700 on a V6 Vienta 1996 Toyota Camery. Nice looking car, good runner! That's over a months pay for me, so IMO a lot of money.

9 months later I was stuck on the side of Tonkin and Read Hwy intersection with a blown head gasket!

After much frustration, I made the decision to dive into my remaining savings to fix the car.
I paid 2500 to get the engine replaced with one from Japan- they also replaced the timing chain, pumps, thermo stat & plugs.

I was quoted up to 4500, at 3 places- much more to get my broken engine shaved and repaired.

4 months later, tonight.

I find myself tonight on the side of Karrynup road, having only driven 9000 Kms with another blown head gasket.
