Club rooms – Stone building - Lichfield, State Highway 1 between Tokoroa & Putaruru Meetings - First Tuesday of each month at clubrooms 7.30 p.m.

General knowledge quiz given at last meeting 14 quick fire questions ranging from, Name 3 vehicle makes starting with A, through to common road rules. They were all given with friendly banter and some of the answers at times had the room in fits of laughter and even had some funny justification for answers given.

Being a vehicle orientated club it was surprising how many struggled to find a word that started with F and ended in uck and was not classed as a bad word.

There will be another quiz given at the next meeting so put your thinking caps on and come along for a laugh.

As an AA Contractor that gets called to numerous vehicles with flat batteries I have used a number of different jump packs with varying degrees of success and overall, I have found one that is great for most circumstances.

It is a Powerall brand sold by Repco for about $200. It charges from a cigarette lighter socket and once charged holds a full charge for a few months, jump starts about 20 times on a charge, is about 8" x 4" in size and weighs less than a kilo. It has usb ports for running a GPS or charging cell phones as well as a handy LED torch built in. This is a product that does work.

Jokes by Chuck INSTANT CURE A Pharmacist walked into his shop to find a man leaning against the wall.

“What is wrong with him?” he asked his assistant.

“He came in for cough syrup, but I couldn’t find any so I gave him an entire box of laxatives.”

“You idiot,” said the chemist, you can’t treat a cough with laxatives.”

“Of course you can,” the assistant replied , “Look at him...He daren’t cough now.”
