    Re- meeting spot. I'll meet up at the water tower or near there (maybe at the shops at Ormeau as you go past)

    The more electric winches the happier the less hand winching I have too do - all good Trav will see you on monday at 9:15 we will be on channel 33.

    Im feeling cocky ágain (or excitable if you will) which normally means i'll get myself into trouble or at least scratch/dent another panel or 2

    Looking forward to it though and looking forward to properly testing out the new tyres........and the standard ECU in low range!!

    I feel a winching session coming on

    See you all there and might I suggest anyone coming from Brisbane or the north meet in the Ormeau shopping centre car park as Trav suggested.....we'll pick you up on channel 33 when close.

    Aye, Mick
    '99 Manual TD5 D2.......heap of money spent on it and it has ended

    I'm back from Coffs on Sunday night so if its Monday i'm in for sure. Haven't had a chance to really test out the locker yet and have not tested the new suspension setup either. This should be fun

    orright, i think i should come and supervise this as youall got way too many bad habits, and none of you can retreat when the going gets tough.
    and another winch in the mix, just gotta knock off early for an appointment

    Grimaces old rangie had different diffs under it, so doubt that the panard rod would still be there. It is just a rolling chasis the rest was stripped/removed. Justin I've probably got a panard rod from the 2 door if thats a help

    which is steinzy hill - collecting car thurs night so will unfortunately miss yet another meeting but could be keen for monday

    We have 12 people now confirmed for Monday (see lists post 16) So trip is as follows;

    Monday 9th April
    Meeting BP Coomera at 9:00am for Gold Coasters
    Meeting Ormeo Shops for Bne people.

    Entry through the water tower - looking at running for a couple of hours or until we have had enough.
