Tour of the Maxi Drive Factory

I must say whoever missed out, probably wont ever get another chance like that.
Many thanks to Mal for giving up an evening to show us around, It was like 12 kids in a lolly shop

. I jokingly said to Kathryn when I got home that Glyn ans Stevo could get us the finance, we could buy Maxidrive

. Hav'nt seen that look before.

Whats everyones thoughts on getting one of our clubs golf shirts for Mal, as a token of thanks.

Thanks to all who came

Regards Justin

I second that. Mal definately went above and beyond. Great, very informative, once in a life time night. Does that help those that couldn't make it

Thanks to all that helped organise.

And the best bit would have to be the 20% discount he offered to those who showed up

man thats going to save some money on those 30% reduction gears and the locker

I was blown away, top bloke and bloody good stuff he makes!
Still having nightmares about that yellow defender with the portal hubs, i think i'm in looove

(with the 'fender

)

Thanks to Dranged for putting it together - I'm working out now, how to get the reduction gear put into my Disco! mmm 20% off $1500.00 then have it fitted, okay have to work on a plan now - either rob a bank or work a little harder -

Thanks to Mel for giving up his time to show us around.

Okay to the club we now have to work on Dranged and Kathryn on buying Maxidrive so we keep it here on the coast and even better have club member own it.

no need to remind us that we missed out, damnit

Ditto, thanks for organising Justin, was very interesting for us non-mechanical types, ooohhhh to have a play toy and put some of that stuff in it, or as Josh pointed out if I were to get an 07 Fender, I could just, well, I wont go into it

. I concur on getting something for Mal ( note Mal... Nana, not Mel

). In terms of buying the business, what an interesting proposal, if I had a spare few $$$ I would almost consider goinging into that with someone with expertise hey hey Justin. Established brand name, existing contacts here and o/s, potential to market new products here and o/s, would be interested to see the books and what turnover, margins, etc were like. Maybe work on Kathryn a bit more and throw in a cuppla extra horse floats for good measure

Regards

Stevo

maye we can thank Mal by putting a bbq at the factory on a weekend so i can attend

**dungarover** · 30th November 2006, 12:31 PM

I think the shirt idea is a good one as an appreciation for Mal's time and expertise about his product. Also found out a bit more history on my 'old' style Maxi in the rear of my Rangie.

Mal is a great bloke, hands on and willing to explain and answer queries about his prioduct. Plus takes critisism in a positive way as well to improve his gear (not that it does).

Like a set of 30% reduction low range gear set, buut being broke nd close to Christmas it's not the best timing. Put uit on the short list for next year though.
