It's funny you should say. Our Land Rover Discovery V8 (the vehicle we
owned before the current one) had a catastrophic failure (of the
"disintegration" kind) in its oil pump halfway between Holbrook and
Tarcutta. Apparently this resulted in some of the resultant components
of the unsystematically-disassembled oil pump entering the engine,
causing enough damage that the car sat in Wagga Wagga for six weeks
waiting for a new engine to be flown in (from Solihull in the UK) to
replace the dead one.
Of course, that's a little different to your analogy, but I thought it
an amusing coincidence.
