My word, if Hinterland get to read these comments they will be impressed. In fact Alistair, play your cards right and you will have dollars rolling in! However, main thing is that the car is in fact very nice and genuinely original. I presume you checked it is fact an XR6 – they are quite easy to make over!

Happy motoring and thanks for the nice words.

Comment on Paper Wasps Attack by Marianne

Yesterday I was cutting some bushes outside the bedroom window. I had been working in this area for a while until I got stung by something on the arm. I went inside and applied Tea Tree Oil which took the sting away. I hadn’t seen any insects so I thought I had accidentally disturbed whatever and I went out and carried on. Straight away I got stung again and this time I saw the small paper wasps in the air. Ouch! and in for some more tea tree oil! I decided to give gardening in this part of the garden a miss and went to retrieve my ardening tools. Big mistake! They came down on me like an organiized armada and got me on the nose and on the cheek. More tea tree oil and an antihistamine tablet (I only had Claratyne tablets). With a fly net over my head and a bottle of Baygon in front of me I finally retrieved the garden tools. The bites settled initially but the following morning I woke up looking like I had been punched in the face. I had previously been stung by a paper wasp in a finger and the whole hand got swollen and it lasted a good week. This happened in the same area of the garden about four months ago. I coudn’t find the nest then. I think it is still there and I am not game enough to go lookin for it so I don’t where to spray. However, having read the previous 25 replies I will try and get WD 40 and Wasp Kill to be prepared. PS. I live in the south-west of Western Australia.

10 bite story…..I was having a great day out on my friends property, wonderful, beautiful peaceful place but then aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! Next thing I knew I’m running for my life, my partner screaming RUN!!RUN!! like a war zone.

I’m stinging like never before. I had no idea what it could be as I’m French/Canadian out in the Australian bush, then I look down at my dress and see these two huge wasps clinging and stinging into my clothes. My partner flicked them off and we continue on our exit from their zone.

When we were clear in the distance we counted 10 good bites, 2 stomach, 2 hand, 3 right side ribs and 3 on my ass! I felt buzzed for an hour and still quite itchy the next day. A swim in the local water hole definitely helped ease the initial pain.

I don’t like wasps.

Thank you very much. I’m a professor, not a programmer. Recently changed from a descent DELL Inspiron 6000 XP to an HP Pavilion dv7 Vista64. HP 1010 Laserjet wouldn’t be recognized. Downloaded some mystifying zipped files. Then fortunately found your advice. Thank you! It worked!

I realised that they weren’t from Energex or Origin immediately, however I thought they might have been a contractor for one of those companies. Of course, that thought was quickly dispelled when he began his sales pitch on how he can save me 7% instead of checking for a legitimate billing mistake.

I have had two of these power people come to the door. I refused to show them a bill until they showed me id. I did ask them what power company they were from and didn’t get a straight answer. I asked because when the energex man comes he is always in uniform. Pretty sly….. and both times they came when Ben was sleeping and woke him up. That annoyed me even more…..

I got stung 3 times last week on the arm and underarm. It is still itchy but the redness and swelling went down yesterday. I was watering and pulled the hose off rocks and they came at me. I did not see them come, go or bite but this is the 3rd time I have been bitten.

My husband usually waits till night and then uses the blow torch on them. We have had huge nests in the fruit trees and gum trees up the padock at times.

Sally what was the cure you found on the internet? I found ice pack and SOOV jell the best but did use bicarb past when it happened.
