Harvey Today

[LandyAndy]

Great time had by all.
Thanks Richard for your tuition,Im sure everyone gained heaps from your experience.
By the sound of it everybody had a great time,especially Lindsay who got to drive the rangie thru a tricky wet spot others were struggling with,he did it with ease,then turned back and did it again!!!! Got to love lockers and swampers.
Deb did well,but its easy when you have the best toy!!!!
BlackBetty excelled herself,its been a while since she has had a challenge.
No damage for the day,except for a D2 plastic bumper VS bank!!!!
Great to meet a few more Landy owners.
Post pics guys!!!!! I will try and get some up tommorow.
Thanks to everybody that attended for a great day out.

Thankyou to Richard for your Experience

And Thankyou to all who went (Nicer bunch you couldnt meet)
I Had a Ball (And a smile you couldnt wipe off my face)

Oh yeh that was my Bumper VS the Bank :D



Ken and Kirstie

[RichardK]

I had a ball, a great group of AULROians, I enjoyed the company and some very good machinery.


Happy with the D3, did it all even though the tyres are worn AT's.

Hopefully we'll have some pics up soon

[LandyAndy]

Blimey Ken, lucky you have the weight of that bullbar holding you down...

Great photo's Andrew, Looks like you all had a ball:)

[DirtyDawg]

Lot of Defenders in that Newbie bunch:):):)
Not very wet for the rain we have had?
Who owns the one with the wheel off the ground spinning??? hope you got Maxis when it lands.... I was doing something not so dis-similar when I shredded my half shaft splines...:eek:
Looked like a good day was had....
Now My turn tomorrow:twisted::twisted:

[LRCounty]

I forgot to ask everyone today. How much blue smoke is my old girl billowing out these days? Running LPG, there's usually a fair bit of white condensation in low range in the cold forest, but it's the blue stuff I'm worried about!!

Cheers
Andre

Hey Andre, is yours the white one in Andrews photo's above?

There looks to be a little smoke there:eek:

[HangOver]

it looks like you all had fun and little damage, which is always a good thing.

Ok, OK I'll get my gearbox done, I don't want to miss the next one.

Well, it seems there's some in the photos, but I didn't notice any yesterday...however, I was too busy listening to the engine. Very nice truck! :D

The blue one is mine, and the green one is rumman43's (Very nice truck).

Lockers are on the list for me at bonus time, but I did want to see your beast go with them to see the difference on a Defender. Andrew's Rangie was very impressive with the ARB's, as was the V8 county using them...

Can't make Sunday now, as the missus is sick, so I've got the kids for the day. They were gutted at missing yerterday, but I think today may be a little long and extreme for them - even if I'm sitting at the side watching. :(

[LRCounty]

Thanks for the observations guys. I'm not too worried about the smoke in the photo....as I've noticed that condensation seems to turn out very blue in photo's...

Ethan's (my son) first attempt at photo taking and video footage was a... ummmm....learning experience...but two video's turned out with shaking/wobbling reduced to the point that you can actually see what's going on.

Looking forward to next time. And now that my wife knows other lovely ladies are attending, she'll try to come along too....and maybe even have a drive :eek:

Cheers
Andre
