This is the area where I was in 2228 doing recycle on my birthday (July 12th last year) and the filmer from Quirindi just left and next minute I look into my mirror and I see nothing but grey steam and smoke shooting out from under the cab and into the cab (I seriously thought I was dead) froze for a second to realise a coolant hose blew right on top of the transmission and when it blew on top of a hot transmission the evaporation from the coolant was insane was like a chemical reaction. I have never jumped out of an Acco as fast as I did when this happened. I thought I was on fire. Scary day, remember it well. 2241 was brought out for me to complete the run with brand new grabbers at the time as the mechanics couldn’t repair 2228 roadside due to the severity of the mechanical issue.
