Yeah, I've heard that house is around there somewhere... I haven't actaully found it yet!

The wreckers yard where they stop to have their flat tyre fixed, is the Old Craigieburn wreckers yard... The old Chev the max dropped on the guy whilst working on it, was offered to my dad to buy... He turned it down because it was a rusty POS :P
