Anyone for Xmas drinks in Adelaide?

[tombraider]

I'm heading to Adelaide again this weekend, staying in Woodcroft.

Anyone interested in meeting for drinks on Saturday arvo?

(And yes the gear is coming with me!)

[matt4x4]

Cheers Mike, might have to call over for a drink myself whilst you are here. Will have the kids though 12 & 7 if thats ok. Wont be able to have the upgrade done at this time. Unfortunately, where I worked for the past 11 years closed down and just dont have the finance's at this moment. Hopefully though, I wont be unemployed for a long period. Is anyone else coming and how long will you be down for?

How long are you down for Mike? I would like to meet you in person and see some of the work you have done to your landrover. You might be able to give me some ideas on how to trick out mine. I would like to go over some details about some upgrades.

If you feel the urge on the way home to Whyalla call in to Wilmington - you wont see much within my shed but vintage Land Rovers, but your welcome for a beer or two.

PS my last dayshift today (Roxby) - heading home tonight for the Chrissy break.

Give me a call

I'm in Adelaide for surgery on Monday, but free Saturday Lunch till Sunday Arvo...

And I may (depending how I feel post opp next week) take up the Wilmington detour :D

Should you really be drinking before surgery? Hope everything is ok and the surgery is not a serious one. Has it got something to do with your tattoo?

Got to stop by lunchtime and only a couple of drinks...

And no, I like my tattoo... its staying with more to come!

[matt4x4]

So are the drinks still on??

Where is the meet??

Who else is coming??

Can we bring kids?? Its been a while since ive seen my boys and they are here tonight (12 and 7) and here with us till xmas.

[matt4x4]

Wow:o


We are all a bunch of pikers here OR............. is there something that we are not being told.

Are the xmas drinks really happening or is this some kind of a publicity stunt.

Maybe Tombraider is trying to soften us up by getting us drunk THEN............. doing an upgrade to our vehicles.

Im starting to wonder, as there has been no response from Tombraider. We all get an invite then no replies.

[tombraider]

Mate... I've been in an out all day.. Just got back to the house.

Pick a pub perhaps? How about Cafe Bonjourno at O'halloran Hill?

Lunch time? Lets say 12.30 tomorrow????

Hows that sound?

[matt4x4]

Nah mate, might have to give it a miss. Cant really take the kids to the pub. I dont get to see them as much as I would like to, so might just spend the day with them.

Matt4x4

[coobertouring]

Hey, where has the xmas spirit gone?

[matt4x4]

HO HO
Hows' that. There aint much more christmas spirit around here is there.

Matt 4x4

[matt4x4]

Hey Coobertouring, you have kids?

Do you want to meet up somewhere and let the kids runomuk? Let me know, im pretty sure you live south too.

Matt4x4

[coobertouring]

Hi Matt, yeah I live down south too, how about we meet up at the adventure playground for the day. I don't seem to be getting any other offers at the moment.

[matt4x4]

Yeah Mate.

Sound great to me. Meet us there about 11am and I will bring some tucker for the bbq. Kids will love it there.

Just look out for my DISCO. You cant miss it.

EVERYONE ELSE IS WELCOME TO COME TOO IF THEY WISH!! Just bring a snag or 2 and BYO drinks.

Matt4x4

[coobertouring]

No worries mate, it should be a good day.

[matt4x4]

MATT4x4

[coobertouring]

Now thats the Xmas spirit.

[tombraider]

Hmmmmpppphhhh :p

Hey, I did open it up to your suggestions :D

Which adventure playground??? Old Noarlunga? I'll bring my lad with me.

He lives in Adelaide with his mum, but I'm sure I can have him for the day.

So am I invited too????????

:angel:

[matt4x4]

Tombraider............... More the merrier Mate.

Im getting there about 11.15 my self cos we want to save a bbq there. Just bring a snag to put on the bbq and byo drinks.

Adventure Playground is right near the Onky River at Port Noarlunga. It was the community one built a few yars ago.

After a few PM's last night, there are now 13 adults and 16 kids going.

See you all there.

[matt4x4]

If today goes well, maybe I will organise a bigger and better one next year with a bit more notice.

Might even have to invite Santa to next years.

Will see everyone there in a bit.

Don't know Mike, I was re-directing people to the footy oval until about 11:30, had to leave then because the kids were fighting in the car. We must have just missed each other. We decided to go to the footy park because all the BBQ's were in use. Turned out someone bought their own BBQ, which was great. Everyone else that said they were coming turned up by 11:20. Sorry we missed you, but wasn't sure if you were definetely coming and by the sounds of it, we must have missed each other by a matter of minutes. Cheers Mate!:(

[coobertouring]

Turned out to be a great day for everyone. We all enjoyed ourselves, kids including adults. It was great to see everyone show up. It was good that people brought friends as well. Definetely have to do this again next year, might have to do it a few times a year. Thanks Darrell for bringing the BBQ, that was a life saver! I hope you join in on the forum as well. Cheers to everyone who came!

[tombraider]

DOH DOH DOH DOH!

:(

[matt4x4]

Well the day was great. The kids had a ball, I met some great people and the wife sat there and natted all day long.

I must remember next time that the sun and beer dont go down well:wasntme:

The wife still not takling to me. She says i stink of booze and i wont stop farting on her. The kids are happy, well i think they are. They reckon i embarrassed them when i reversed the DISCO into that pole. Even worse still they said i sat on Santa's knee and that he wasnt very happy. Who was Santa anyway?

Who took the photos?

Mmmmm,

Well I think you should replace my esky that you ran over, do you remember that? :mad: If you don't, ask your wife. She was trying to hide under the dashboard.You should see the tyre marks you left on the oval, thats why everyone was applauding you. :o As for santa, I was wondering who that was too. By the way, I have some photos of you on his lap. :angel: My kids are still talking about that guy who sat on santas lap.

Thanks for being so entertaining today!

[matt4x4]

Sorry about that Mate.

Maybe the day will seem clearer to me tomorrow and i will give ya a call. You were Mike wernt you.

She still wont talk to me:twisted:

Matt4x4

[coobertouring]

It's ok Mate,

I am actually having a good laugh. I hope your wife will see the funny side of it soon.

cheers
Mick

[coobertouring]

I'm just glad we all had a good time. I don't think anyone that came would say any different. I have had a few private messages asking when the next one will be on. I think we will have to do it again after the new years.:D

[darrell]

Hi guys,


Never heard of this forum until yesterday, thanks for putting me on to it!
Thanks Geoff for inviting me to the outing yesterday.

Hope everybody has recovered from yesterday.

No worries about the bbq

Let me know when the next outing is on, love to go again.

Please let me know when you are planning the next one.

[coobertouring]

Not sure when the next outing will be yet? I am thinking about organising something in the new year. I will definetely be in touch to let you know. Have a good xmas.:D
