Hi to you Kev:)Why did you leave?:o
You don't really want to know and I'd really like to forget about it .
Lets just say it was a series of flames and personal attacks .
O'le mate Redback (Baz) recons I should forget about it and start posting again - but I wanted to check the vibes on this first .
I made a lot of friends on here in years gone by .
Some of them have become very good friends at that .

Thank's for the welcome back notes fellas :)

welcome but who is Kev?

We don't actually know who or what Kev is, he's just a presence in a white Land Rover seen in the High Country like a fleeting ghost. We have heard he's Chuck Norris's mentor. And he has a birthmark in the shape of the Land Rover Z.

At least it's not another poll!:DAt the end of the day only YOU can decide whether to come back or not. The forum is like life, you meet good and bad people, people you get on with, people you don't. If YOU decide to come back just ignore the flamers etc. There are some on here who I don't care for, I buggered if I'll let them drive me from the 99.9% here whose on-line company I cherish.

Welcome back Kev,
my memory recalls that you had some very worthwile input into this site when you where last here,hopefully that will now continue :),and dont let the jerks get the better of you,there are a LOT more mods in here now that run it fairly tight, so any personal attacks are jumped on hard and fast,the place certainly has grown since you was last here,kick back and enjoy mate! :)

Mmm, I'd forotten about Marcell and his 90 ute, he (and many others) have disapeared into the ether over time.

'BlackAdder' would be another one I suppose .
Although he sent me an email a few months back that he was in search of a good Fender 130 :)

Funny you should mention that :)
I'm now the Moderator in the 'Gone Fishing' section of another Aussie 4wd Forum :o
Guess I know something about fishing .
Or maybe nobody else wanted the job :D:D

Yup the D110 only went a couple of weeks ago - the D2 is a more sensible daily driver in the Sydney traffic to and from work, hmmm that Climate Control!!!

The Defute Bling Machine is living it's sunny life up on the Sunny Coast of QLD these days - much like other Victorian retirees!!! But his misses does now have a D3 TDV6 and he has his choice of Aston Martins now!!!

How the world changes, but stays the same!!!

Good to see you back, so when is the HCC website being updated?

LRH

KEV0044

12th June 2009, 06:21 PM

Thank's for the update Mark :)
The HCC is not currently running trips due to the ill health of the trip leaders Dad .
My Dad is now approaching 91 years old and I am his only support at home .
My trips away are limited to other family members looking after him in my absence .
This has had a big effect on the club and myself in general .
Such is life - but I'm not complaining - At least Dad is still at home and happy .
I didn't know Marcell moved to QLD - and that he changed profiles to driving an Aston Martin :o
Thanks Mate ,
Kev .

The Orchids are just coming out to bloom and lots of flower spikes are coming up at a rapid pace .
Baz and Kerry were over this afternoon and noticed the flowers already starting to show .
Should be a great season for flowers this year :)

Great photo Rob ,
Brings back memories of a great trip we had in the Victorian High Country .
Never been back to that property since that trip .
Wonder if it's still a working farm with sheep and cattle .
cheers

Hi Kev,

I noticed that your avatar is the old Defender. Is this a bit of nostalgia?

How are you enjoying the Discovery?

You may have noticed that I have gone the other way Disco to Defender.

(Cousin John now has my Disco).

KEV0044

13th June 2009, 03:23 PM

Hi Mahn ,
Long time no see :(
The avatar is nostalgia - but I figure most guys on here remember me driving that particular Land Rover so I put it up as a general reminder .
The Disco D2A is fantastic - and no major problems to report :)
I didn't notice that you have purchased a Defender because I have been out of touch with this forum for a long time now ,
Post me up a pic of your new ride mate - I'd like to see it !
I would also like to see some pics of cousin John's Defender project if you ever finished it :)
cheers
Kev .

Don't worry about that stuff - water under the bridge - I'm quite sure everyone is very glad you're back posting, life is way too short to worry about such things ... :) so ...

WELCOME BACK :banana::banana::thumbsup::twobeers: it's party time!

What are you doing to celabrate :D

Panda

13th June 2009, 07:15 PM

Well, I'm trying to con everyone into giving me money so I can go parachuting (it's heaps expensive!) ... but everyone says "we're not giving you money so you can kill yourself" ... talk about kill joys! :D:D

oh ... and driving my wonderful Series III (of course!) ....

KEV0044

13th June 2009, 07:25 PM

Excellent :)
Parachuting on your birthday ;)
Where do I donate to the required funds ?
Sounds like a cool way to spend a birthday to me :thumbsup:

Panda

13th June 2009, 07:30 PM

Yes, it is ... totally awesome ... only problem is that even from 14000ft it goes way too quick! Now, if I get enough money together, then I could do 2 jumps on the same day ... :D:D I'd better do some more pestering ... :Rolling::Rolling:
