Thanks to the kind help of a forum member (who inspected the vehicle for me) I have purchased a new ute in Melbourne for my mum. (with her money :p)

So: I am flying down to Mexico on Friday evening to pick it up! :D

Whos up for dinner? :) (beers might have to wait for another night when I dont have 11 hours driving the next day...)

I don't know my way around Melb so someone pick somewhere reasonably central and who ever wants to rock up can rock up. B)

If theres no interest then I'll just grab a maccas drive-through and head for the border. ;)

You can take as many nissoyotas as you like back to Noo South Wales.:p

You will, of course, observe our Mexican custom of a CNP - car neutral policy. "You take one, your drop one off!"
If you leave your Ambo at No. 16 .....:angel::D:p



Sorry, will miss you as I'm heading off this Thurs for a few days. :(

Sure thing - I will pick up my new shiny Japper, and drop off the dirty old Patrol! It's in the markets Sleeps... I'm sure your daughter would like it as a first car... :p



Ahh, I see you're being met there.

Indeed, but thanks heaps for the offer mate. :)

Only on AULRO, could the question of "who wants to catch up for Dinner in Melbourne?" be answered with: "South Australians and Queenslanders are going to converge on your house and steal your vehicles" :lol2:

So anyhooooo...

Does anyone want to meet up? I'm not fussed either way, but since I am down there... ;)

Sometime on Saturday morning, but I'm flexible. :)

I've left the whole weekend to mosey home. Was thinking of dropping in at Pucka Museum and another forumite or two along the way.
