Hey I know that place, I used to go mountain biking there.... Id be there but for a couple of minor points..

1. its the same day as me and Eddo are going to go do a recky for the october trip.

2. your over in WA........

3. work wouldnt give me the time off

4. SWMBO wont drive the nullabour, she might of if we hadnt done the IP across it and seen what its like..... and even then I think it would be a one off thing.

[Jamo]

Sorry, can't make it. Got a 40th to go to that weekend! Have fun!

[kie4]

I should be there,all going well.

[RichardK]

I'm still here! just been busy with other things since the trip.

Will be there on the 24th, have some new areas for you..............if you are adventurous:twisted::twisted::twisted:

Reminds me, must sort out that rear shockie next weekend.............can't tomorrow, have to go to Kal for a few days.

[Frenchie]

I will come but will need a lift. Missus has the LR for horse towing duties. :(

I have transport so can meet somewhere, but I don't think the Volvo would get very far once we hit the dirt. :eek:

I could be official photographer/videographer. ;)

What time at mcdonalds? and where is Mcdonalds in Armadale,name of a road nearby will be fine.
my discovery whent through inspection ok, waiting now for compliance plates from Victoria, then off to get it registered.:(
I wish now I had bought landrover out here.


Am I gona wreck it going on this trip?

[RichardK]

No, unless you try hard, all challenges will have an easy way out with the exception of may be a couple, but you will have a chance to look before you try

[LRCounty]

Bummer. My wife flies back in from Melbourne that afternoon.

My negotiation skills were good enough to get SWMBO to agree to find alternative means of transport home (while not being angry at me), but I totally forgot about the possible resitance from the kids. There is no way they will let me drag them around Harvey while their Mum is arriving back home :-( Must think of a good vribe...Hmmmm

[Belly]

What channel will you guys be on? I'll be in that area from lunch
time friday till sunday arvo. Be good to meet, put names to faces.

Hi Rich

At the intersection of Armadale rd and Albany hwy you will find macca's
As for if you will wreck it..probably will hurt it a little..but your a fine landy mechanic so putting it right won't be a hassle:D:D:D

[LandyAndy]

Hi Guys
Do you remember the post by Omaroo "The French are Coming"? I got a PM from Martine saying Robert is here in Perth waiting to get the Landy thru customs.Ive invited Robert(thru Martine) to join us in Harvey,who can offer navigator a job?????
I will get in touch with Omaroo to ensure Robert gets notified.

Im not really worried about Discovery, thats what a 4x4 is all about.

0630hrs mate and we usually get to Harvey about 0800-0830 depending on traffic

[LandyAndy]

Any offers to have Robert as a navvy????
Hoping to entice Matt along again,he had a ball on the last trip.
Andrew

[Iggy]

I'm happy to have Robert in my car. Will I have to pick him up from somewhere?
Cheers Stuart

[LandyAndy]

Hi Stuart
Well done.
Ive sent PMs,not sure that Robert has internet,Omaroo is goin to try and get in touch.
Ive asked them to post here when they get the message.
Andrew

[RichardK]

Sorry Andrew, I didn't realise you were looking for a ride for Robert, I would have room if there is a problem.

[kookynet]

This is martine writing. I wanted to thank you all for the kind thought of taking Robert along. It will be great for him and I wish i could be there too. Now that thanks to Iggy and RichardK, I know there is a possibility of a second seat for me too.

I need to finish up a few things in Dubai before I can join in. I'll keep you posted and will possibly beg for a seat next week, if it is not too late?

Martine

[Taz]

Hi Folks,
Sounds like fun. We are hoping to make it down there and will try to meet up with the others at Armidale,
Cheers,
Taz.

[LandyAndy]

Hi Stuart
I spoke to Robert this arvo,he has your ph no and is going to call you.He is staying in Belmont so it should work out for you to collect him on the way thru.
Im hoping BlackBetty isnt going to let me down,Im concerned about the cooling system pressurizing and a coolant smell,hoping its not a head gasket on the way out.
I think I will risk it,unless it gets worse very quickly.
Andrew

[DirtyDawg]

Well I hope Blackbetty isnt blowing her top....maybe she is just huffing and puffing having to lug you around:D:D;) I fitted a 2" lift today using King springs and installed my compressor and little air tank:). Looking forward to next weekend:) I got your post about extra stickers Andrew an There shouldn't be any at $11 a shot, but I ordered 2 and the missus won't want one on her Disco so you can have that one;)

[kookynet]

I'm keen for a play in the hills.

Hi,
Tried to call you but no success.
If I can't get Alistair cleared from customs before the 24th, I'd love to have a lift w you, if you don't mind.

If its ok, please email a line to

robert@kookynet.net ...

... since I will use this address while I am in Perth until Martine (she is still in Dubai) comes here. Plse cc her at info@kookynet.net so she knows I am in good hands !

Plse note that later on we will use only info@kookynet.net

Thanks !
Robert
"If you look for a great bunch, go to WA" you guys are great ! :) :) :)

[LandyAndy]

Hi Guys
I spoke to Matt tonite,he and his better 1/2 look like they are coming,will meet up in Harvey.
Robert,when I spoke to you yesterday I said it was saturday we are going,SORRY,on checking the calender the 24th is a SUNDAY,hope it still fits your plans.Glad I checked I would have felt like a real DILL turning up a day early:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
Andrew

[kookynet]

Hello Andy,

This is Martine. I will immediately notify Robert to make sure he is aware of the fact that it is sunday not saturday. I was a bit surprised when he mentioned his 'date' but thought that maybe this was turning into a weekend outing for some of you.

I can just imagine him waiting on the doorstep for a whole day.:confused: .. or you showing up a day too early. COuld have been fun to see though!:twisted:

MArtine

[DirtyDawg]

I try to organise the odd Sunday ouing for the guys who work every saturday, they always miss out so Sunday is a good day for them to catch up with the rest of us:)

[Iggy]

Does anyone know how long it would take to drive from Belmont to Armidale.

[RichardK]

Does anyone know how long it would take to drive from Belmont to Armidale.

I'd count on an hour and you should make it easy

[Taz]

Would anyone mind if I ask my mate Paul to join us in his 4x4Hilux?
Cheers,
Taz

[LandyAndy]

Hi Taz
Shouldnt be a problem,it will keep Baz in his 80ser company:D :D :D :D
Im hitching a ride with Baz,Ive spoken to a couple of mechanics today and the head needs to come off ASAP
Andrew

[90]

Me too please.

So long as the vicar lets me leave church early on Sunday morning

[LandyAndy]

Hi 90,Taz,Iggy,Graz and others.
RichardK has started another post for confirmations.Can you confirm if you are going direct or meeting DirtyDawg @ McDonalds Armadale 6.30am
Thanks
Andrew

[Taz]

Thanks folks, Paul will be wrapped. He has 3 empty seats if anyone needs a ride. He and I will met DirtyDawg in Armadale 0630.

Andy - sorry to hear about the head. Hope it wont be too pricey to fix. But since it's off.... may be a good time for some porting perhaps:)
