Thread: SA Defenders and Countys

sounds good.

but where, cave creek but no driving there, or Morgan can have a bit of fun.
if they are a bit far? big rocking thingy, some where to let the kids loose.

????????

[QUOTE=bambusa;1492761]I usually see either a County or other on the way to work. There is a blue County for sale in a auto electricians on Tapleys Hill road that I looks quite nice.

Not a County but a stage 1 v8. (Leaf springs). I took it for a test drive the other day but decided it was a bit too heavy for my wife to drive. I live in Hendon and I just bought a 93 defender from Canberra a week ago. If you guys make a day I'll try to be there.

It looks in pretty good condition (from the road).
I have been tempted to drop in to have a look.

You would be most welcome to join us. I am desperately trying to sort out my Defender this week for a trip on the weekend so I will do some organising next week.

Here it is this evening whilst we were fitting the tent.

If you know of any other SA based Defenders/ Countys. Series/ 90/ 110/ 120 or 130's invite them as well,

I hope the weekend trip went well. Look forward to seeing the setup in the flesh. I have a similar setup on mine (120 tray with a trayon fitted at the back) and absolutely love it (image below).

Speaking of which, the 2 - 3 July weekend may be a bit difficult for me. I would only be able to make it on Saturday in the morning / day (have to leave by 3pm). The weekends either side of the 2-3 July weekend are good on either Saturday or Sunday at this stage. Hopefully we can tee something up.

Enviable shed by the way!

Ok everybody....how is either the 9th or the 10th?

It will have to be an afternoon thing (kids footy in the morning).
Suggestions for locations if you have any please
If you know other defender/ 1XX/ County drives please invite them along as well (discos etc welcome too)..

Offender90 - it is my works shed/warehouse. I wish I had something similar at home. I have a carport only which makes it hard to do things at night in the cold).
The tent was awesome - but the only photo I have is of it half set up. I need to go camping again so that I can take a proper pic (and enjoy it some more).

sounds like fun but i think it will be to close for the birth of my daughter. it could well happen 4wding if i was out there. i was living at north haven recently with my 110 isuzu (white one) maybe that was me you (bambusa) was seeing.
Bambusa what tent have you got? i want to rig mine up with one to do KI for our honeymoon.
Thanks Simon

Hi Cornbread. I was thinking an afternoon at a pub would be a good start but I have put the call out for suggestions of locations etc.
If that is what we end up with then I think you will be ok

The tent is an Uptop Camper one off ebay.
It looks the same as the ARB ones and is supposedly made in the same factory.
