Another Defender Day Out??

[weeds]

Just throwing it out there............its a bit overdue but that because i haven't had a defender for 18 months

the last two attracted around 50 defenders at each one.........

em thinking to have it back at the same property as the previous two.........come for the day or come for the weekend

I'm thinking September/October ish....outside school holidays

comments, ideas, suggestions.....while i ponder a date

it will be within 2hr drive of brisbane.........open to all defenders, county's, perenties and series that are members of the club hosting the day

How's this for a suggestion - hold one in Sydney? :p

How's this for a suggestion - hold one in Sydney? :p

Since the majority of defenders etc that attended live in Qld....NO:p

Organize it and they will come

Would be great to have another one. Boonah gets my vote. Too easy for me:cool: Sadly I only have one defender to bring now. Camping option would be good.

Looks like you need to listen to yourself weeds, hardly being knocked over with enthusiasm or viewers.

Would a close 4x4 park be any good. I guess stuff is guaranteed to get broken then. But could fill in a day if a weekend is made of it.
Is raising some loot for a charity a good idea?
Fireworks? I'd chuck money in. Or maybe we burn a Disco after we have jumped it a bit. haha. Perhaps someone has a donor defender for that matter. I'm sure someone out there feels like getting rid of one.
How about a raffle or auction, set of 255's might raise some interest. Just don't make them coopers lol. Of course got to get them first.
Maybe Best breakfast. Best work horse, Best show pony, Best expedition. Doesn't have to be much, just recognition even or a pic and a post on here.


I'll help with if you like.

I would love to come, but having just made a trip to Bris, Louth in 3 weeks and the next Edjit adventure in October, I think I've run out of spare time and brownie points.

There is a sort of day organised for NSW at Camden on 24 Aug 2016 .........

(LR Club Expo)

they get heaps of 110 inch LRs

Sounds like a great idea. But I still get shivers thinking about the last day out and me taking a wrong turn on the way there in the darkness and entering a neighbouring property!

The place where the previous event was held is perfect. People can either sit around and talk Defenders or there are a number of 4wd tracks to explore around the area.

I'd be happy to lead a drive to a lookout that I know of on the other side of Maroon Dam (there is also a nice bush walk from this lookout).

Cheers

I'd love to attend, and meet a few qld defender owners. Its been a busy time for us the last 7 months since we came back to aussie. New job, kids in school etc.
I've manged a few jobs done on the defender. Air bag suspension on the back ( so it fits under the house and rides so nice), pipe to replace 1 st muffler, ( cant notice any difference in the sound , or the performance). New runva 11,000 lb winch fitted, fitted the oil cooler connection and a Magnom magnetic filter to the R380. Currently rebuilding an LT 230 Q from a disco -2 with Ashcroft ATB inside.

Shes running like a sewing machine, but I notice how low the gears are now, with the fuel pump is tweaked up to suit the VNT, I'm in 5 th gear at 60 kms hr.
I'm spending some time and effort to get her ready for the simpson desert next year work permitting. a lot of suspension bushes to change.:):)

cheers simmo

As discussed, I'm keen. I'm sure as more people hear about it the bigger it will get. Might be able to round up some sponsorship freebies again ;)

Trouble is that's all it is.......Friendly.

Some Guard Dog,... As it rushes up to every stranger.."Oh, Hello...how are you....would you like to Pat me?
