Car Strategy
The Rauni's performance on the way back from Fassifern Station was pretty disappointing, but it matched up with problems I had before, when she wasn't firing properly on all cylinders (gee, maybe that's a description of me, too 
).
Anyway, I worked out a workaround strategy for getting about, though it's a little extreme or silly. She runs OK on the flats, but dies on hills that are too steep or hills with corners. Urk! Anyway, I could just drive to Teralba, and catch a train from there. Teralba's about 6-8 km from home, Cardiff (where I'd drive to go to TAFE) was 6 km.
Bottom line is though, something needs to be done, but at least I have some slack, and I don't have to catch the local buses.
