Fuel Tanks

HI Bigbugga Hi KevIn Hi Pirate
I am sorry if I write the write of short cuts (my job training) that you do not understand so i will go extra slow and write extra long
hand
In NSW were the pace is extra fast compared to WA people do not read everthing you write they do what is called scan and they are bored with anything over 20 words.
I do a lot of email during my working day, and have the benefits of automatic spellcheck, and it has to be brief so the message gets across with as little pain as possible ie(reading, understanding)
In the email world people only read the first and last letter of each word.
Now down to business Bigbugga you have advised previously that you do not see a need to belong to a club well you are in a club now! you are heavily involved in the Australian Landrover Owners Online Forum. This I would say is a club! you come down on the heads of contribitutors when they post a a post you do not think is appropriate or does not agree with you views.
I do not push LROC Sydney Branch as the only Club to be in. I say to all people over Australia - join a Club or their choice - but be in a Club to enjoy the companship, the knowledge that is within the Club, especially the older members, of trips , information in vehicles etc.

I understand that I am part of this club of landrover owner's.
I am also part of many other 4wd web site's as well as a lot of other type of site's, all of which put me into a club statis situation. Idont have a problem with this at all.

But what I have said to you before if that I dont have a need nor a desire to join a 4wd club.

And the only time I come down on ANYONE is when they get to pushy with a topic or start abusing other member's.

I can see the benifit to being in a club, especially if there are no AULRO members in your area :wink:

I'm actually trying to get on a trip with the Tamar Valley 4x4 club to see what they are like.

It is actually nice to have you making some sense snailbait. Did the repairs to your extreme really cost $30,000?

What happened, I don't think that you have ever explained what happened on that occasion.

8) ok my turn, i'm not a club member,yet the disco i own came from and was serviced by the mob where the qld club have their meetings.
thats in bris vegas, some 100k's from me.
yep i don't know how to drive fwd's in serious stuff ['and i aint going there without another to save me] which is why i hang on this site
[oh by the way, for the spell checkers out there, i consider this fun so i don't do caps unless really agro]
i was in clubs over the years and got fed up with the 'climbing to the top' do gooders.
i am interested in going on more trips and think that clubs might help in doing this, but i kinda like the personal days with a small group and no overwhelming crap, which i've seen before.
this website is good for me and i don't bother to look at the others any more, as they don't suit me, [not that some aren't interesting]
i actually would like to drive some of the state forest tracks in our corner of qld, and i suppose that we [aulro ] will address that in time.
however we probably just should meet and trip as we are, and that will flow on.
you know some people actually own fwd's and arn't blessed with excess spondulex, so we respect that and if they/i can't or don't want to do something, thats it, our choice.
8) harry

Good on you harry,,,,
as for you snailbait, the pace of life( in the blue mountains?) in NSW is a poor excuse for not writing interesting/funny/informative posts,,,
As for supposedly being in a "club" because I post on a web site seems a bit of a stretch.
I am quite happy being a "member" of AULRO, [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]
and this wonderfully slow lifestyle up here means I dont need to join a club to go 4wdriving. :wink:
read my tag.

Ok my turn.

Snail / Rhonda we are hearing ya ! For mine i have been in a couple of very large clubs / brotherhoods , with 10 years of military and 7 years of police i know a little about club mentality ive made some great mates - ones id die for and then there are those that i would just as soon let rot in a gutter..... Club membership isnt always what it is pumped up to be.

I am a member of this club/site - AULRO and proudly wear the sticker on my disco. Mate i enjoy the company of my friends (club and non club)when off roading, i dont bugger the bush and i tread lightly.

If a landholder wishes to deny me access to his land then that is his right, and seeing as im a cop and peoples rights are my line of buisness i dont want to impinge on that. This is a big brown land with plenty of room for us all.

I get all i need from this site, as i and others have said before i dont visit anywhere else any more. I come here to chat , exchange ideas and above all else Learn and ask questions!

Please guys add your link and let it lie - i promise ill look at the site and who knows i may even attend your club meeting - is that the one in concord or over that way? If there arent too many tree hugging club climbing types i may even part with the hard earned and join......

Take it from a bitter twisted copper, you can lead a horse to water.....but ya cant make him join a 4x4 club.....

take care mate

mick

ps, why dont you come to the Watagans with they boyos when we go. try a AULRO gathering - You may like it

When is the next AULRO gathering?? After reading all the posts from the regulars, I have a mental picture of what a gathering would be like and have taken the necessary precautions to prevent personal harm. That aside, I am always up for something a bit "different" and a "Gathering" of such distinguished persons has all the elements of FUN.

Have a look at the schedules forum for setails of upcoming trips in your area.

Geez, that sounded like one of those advert guys on TV :roll:

Thanks for all who have commented on the fuel tanks.
Am looking at the 125ltr replacement plus sill tanks. I agree with the sill tank option however would like to have one sill tank set for water as when I bring the wife camping I need to have more water with me that is in Sydney Harbour!!

Glad to see the old Clubbies vs Non-clubbies debate is alive and strong :twisted: It will never be decided as we have opposing views. Lets just say that works for you is great! Snail You seem to heavily into it eh. Got no life outside of 4 Wheelin Clubs eh?

I have so much on at present I dont have the time to involved in a club.
The odd weekend out with TSR/BigBugger and crowd suits me down to the ground. I am not a fan of clubs because there is generally types in clubs that I would rather not socialise with. These are the "spongers ", "cardigan wearing flower sniffing tea totallers", "the I cant scratch my fourby crowd", "Can I bring my tandem caravan crowd", "the why doesnt my mobile work crowd" etc and Pajero Owners :roll:

Snail again. So you eastern states blokes are speed readers hey? Have no time to read all that is put in front of you eh? What crap. It is pure laziness thats all. (I also have email at work 8O :!: ) :!:

Wow now that I have that off my chest....... 8O
