I managed to track down a supplier for a small bit of plastic for a broken wing mirror. It was up in Vineyard, which is 54km from here.
It was a good excuse to test out the new GPS, so I went for a drive this morning to pick up the part.
I had to go through two tolls ($2.20 each) and the round trip of 110km would have used about 13 litres of diesel, which currently costs about $1.30 a litre.
The part cost $5.17. The transport cost was around 4 times that.
At least I can now seen down the side of the car. It's rather disconcerting driving around with a wonky mirror.
The GPS is fine by the way.
