- 6:37Speaker 2: they never saw it. And because all my carbs and
- 6:40Speaker 2: matter and they never got they never got my carbs,
- 6:44Speaker 2: So that was something, Jimmy.

- 6:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got the carriage side. The carriage in my driveway.
- 6:56Speaker 2: It's got a hoist like a little on the roof
- 7:01Speaker 2: that loves my wheelchair up so I'm independent. I can
- 7:07Speaker 2: get the wheelchair on the roof. It's so automatic. And
- 7:10Speaker 2: then I drove away, so they saw that, and they
- 7:14Speaker 2: can see the ramps that I have to get up
- 7:17Speaker 2: into my house, special rumps, feed and banisters and stuff.
- 7:23Speaker 2: So yeah, they knew. And I've heard from the police
- 7:27Speaker 2: that there from the area.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Oh, Jimmy, I'm so sorry that again, Like, I'm just
- 7:36Speaker 1: so sorry that this has happened to you. And I
- 7:37Speaker 1: bet there are so many people listening this morning who
- 7:40Speaker 1: are really mortified and feeling the same way that I am.
- 7:44Speaker 1: You sound like a bloody tough bastard, though you don't
- 7:47Speaker 1: sound like you're letting it, letting it stop you.
- 7:51Speaker 2: No, You're still going to keep on going, don't you see.
- 7:56Speaker 2: That's they've picked on me, and I'm just going to
- 7:59Speaker 2: come up and I'm a bit stare, so I've got
- 8:04Speaker 2: my way to look after.
- 8:06Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Well, Jimmy, mate, we've had people, You've had an outpouring
- 8:10Speaker 1: of support. I know that you've had an outpouring of
- 8:12Speaker 1: support yourself through phone calls. Well, I know that Deb
- 8:19Speaker 1: in Pineland, so I think that you know, she's she's
- 8:22Speaker 1: wrung us and she said she's going to come around
- 8:24Speaker 1: with a carton. She's also said that She's also said
- 8:28Speaker 1: there's a few people who've already chipped in with some
- 8:31Speaker 1: taxi vouchers.
- 8:32Speaker 3: But mate, how do you feel?
- 8:34Speaker 1: I mean, I reckon that I'm going to put the
- 8:36Speaker 1: call out this morning, and I hope this is okay.
- 8:39Speaker 1: But I think that if there's a mechanic or a
- 8:41Speaker 1: panel beater or anybody out there listening who can maybe
- 8:44Speaker 1: help you out with your vehicle as well, is that
- 8:46Speaker 1: something that you'd accept.
- 8:48Speaker 3: That that assistance. If there is that, well mate, we'll
- 8:53Speaker 3: see what we can do for you.
- 8:54Speaker 1: I really hope that there are that there is somebody
- 8:57Speaker 1: out there listening right now who you know, who maybe
- 8:59Speaker 1: does have a mechanics business or or they're a panel
- 9:03Speaker 1: beat and they're able to get you and your vehicle
- 9:07Speaker 1: back into shape, because, by the sounds of it, you
- 9:09Speaker 1: actually have done a lot to that vehicle yourself.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it's it's just it was a mobly vehicle.
- 9:17Speaker 2: It's not it's not a new vehicle. But Whnley knew,
- 9:21Speaker 2: you know, I looked up to that.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know by the sounds of it, it's
- 9:26Speaker 1: it's your independence.
- 9:27Speaker 3: It's what's helping you to be able to travel.
- 9:30Speaker 2: That's I've had a Roles had a car and make
- 9:36Speaker 2: twenty d years ago, and the rules immitted the car,
- 9:39Speaker 2: you know, to get to get to your hospitals, to
- 9:41Speaker 2: get to the doctor, to go anywhere, and it just
- 9:46Speaker 2: gives him independence as well.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Yeah, Jimmy, do you have any idea at this point
- 9:51Speaker 1: in time? I mean, I know your cars obviously in
- 9:53Speaker 1: the police compound, but do you have any idea how
- 9:56Speaker 1: much it might cost you to be able to get
- 9:58Speaker 1: it back to to speed the way that you need it?
- 10:02Speaker 2: The thing is that really what's wrong with it? Yeah?
- 10:07Speaker 2: Run over the fence. I don't know if there's been
