I was wondering when someone would bring that up. :o

Yes, Public thanks to Justin for providing a rescue party so quickly and expertly. :BigThumb:

Thanks also to grimace for the expert description of the movement executed :Rolling:and also Josh for the committee revision, concerning the double aspect for the double semi-flop. :twobeers:
Judging from the pictures of the other trips I was not the only one “Logging some Air Time”

I don’t know the penalty for performing an unauthorized double semi-flop but I guess I will hear from the disciplinary committee soon enough, :rulez:perhaps I can put in an early guilty plea and claim time served, cause I will have to put up with Harry’s “Reminders” all week at work

And of course if there are no pictures,:wasntme: it could not have happened. :angel:

Great weekend one of the biggest we have had:D.

A huge thanks to MickG for planning and running a great trip, it was a huge success and look forward to more in the future.

A second big thanks to all the members whom made the trip, thanks to you all for coming you made the trip a success.

Thanks to Stevo for his fine effort in entertaining us all around the fire on Friday night - another classic.

It was a great sight to see so many Landrover's of all ages at one meeting and a credit to everyone for making it such a smooth trouble free weekend.

See you soon on a trip or meeting.

Cheers

Yep definitely only a semi-flop... hence a quarter-flop... and barely that :D:D:D

Sorry Gary... will have to try harder next time :p

Well, what a trip. First and foremost, as has been mentioned, excellent work Mick on putting together such a huge turnout and to the various TL's and TEC's for looking after their respective groups. I had an absolute blast Friday :twisted:..............then sick as a dog Saturday...special thanks to Dave aka Busman for the flu tablets....as was close to packing up and going home.

I can't say much on the driving as only did one afternoon drive but that was great fun. More importantly was great seeing many new faces....including Smokeys Doppleganger owned by Pete. Almost identical to Smokey bar a few differences.

Heres a few lame pics I took.....would have taken more:

Kids had a blast catching up with old and new friends. The upside for me having missed out most of Saturday is that I still have heaps to explore for next time, look forward to catching up with many of you in a trip in the near future,

For our first trip out it certainly was a great introduction! We didn't get around to meeting everyone (will in time) but the people we met were very welcoming and friendly. Loved the driving especially the wombat holes with the nose of the D2 heading for the sky and kids crying and laughing at the same time in the back. Big thanks to Bullets who helped us through that part as it was a precarious position.

Thanks again to Mick for running the trip. It was certainly a professional effort to coordinate such a large group.

We look forward to the next one.

Cheers
Pete

Another great trip everyone, thanks Mick G for your organising skills, and thanks to eveyone else for turning up and having a great time, this is a club I am proud to be part of. Also thanks to Outlaw and X-Box for the help relocating my rear springs, and to Mick G in your absence for supplying a hose clip, that's one I owe you. And thanks to the Springs for having a bit of fencing wire lying around, I must make sure I carry a supply of wire in future.

Cheers, Mick

Yes a fantastic trip. Thanks to Mick for organising and Bolts for some trip leading. Not sure who enjoyed themselves more the kids or the adults :D We are very lucky to have such fantastic people in the club. :twobeers:

****ing great trip, great people and the driving as usual fan-bloody-tastic. The dunga survives to fight another day I didn't end up breaking the axles in the front although I did have a spare set on hand if the inevitable did occur.

I didn't get any pics as judged we had a few photographers on the trip and there pics are better than I can take (I'm a pretty **** photographer anyway). Couple of moments in the dunga with a bit of dodgy driving and second gear doesn't work uphill on a clapped out 3.5 V8 with 400+ on the clock either but you get that. Also bashed in my RHS panel at the bottom but it was dented anyway so who cares :twisted::twisted::twisted:

Must do again, maybe we could me it an annual type thing :confused:

Trav

Great pics :D
