i had the same sorta problem (ish) when stopping in 4th gear
to get it back out of 4th i had to rev it right up and ease the clutch so the car start to go forwards while pulling back on the gear leaver till it popped out
then put it back to first or reverse or whatever and drive off
hey... im from tassie too... hobart to be more precise, where bouts are you?

15.4' widscreen laptop mounted upside down on the roof in the back
checkered furry curtains
the best bit is... the outside of the car looks crap... different coloured panels, faded paint few dents and stuff round it only once had someone tried to break into it... they pulled the lock barrel out and opened the door and the alarm went off so they didnt touch anything and left
