Oh yes, That reminds me. A word of warning, Wombat kills distributor caps and battery charging systems. On the odd occasion, it also causes sparks to exit from the exhaust pipe I heard.Quote:

My wife and I both have done the driver training. Last year I got involved with helping at the show at Wandin. This was a rewarding experience.
If you want to meet like minded people and have great fun on club trips join.
I am sure you will not be disappointed.

The blue V8 submarine?? That would be mudsloth... And at the time he was attempting this light water crossing :wasntme: he was only on 6 or 7 cylinders. He's well known around here, and anywhere there is a dam to drive through. :pQuote:

Hi does anyone have any experience with both the LR Owners Club Vic and the Range Rover Club? Do they have different interests, numbers of trips/activities, other advantages?
TIA
We joined the LROCV when we bought Gracie, our 90, nearly 3 yrs ago now.
Great Club, with great tradition, & great people, who are always ready to talk to you.
Although We have a late model Defender, We've been to a couple of Series 1 Events, seen some really iconic vehicles, met some pretty nice owners, & learned a lot.
There is a very good monthly magazine included in membership,..very comprehensive with some great articles.
So from us, Yes,...membership recommended, Pickles.
Pickles, what happened to their website ? I was a member for 14 years and now its disappeared.
We joined a while back, attended a few events, all good fun and informative.
I think the more you put in the more you get back. They run plenty of trips, driver education is good.
Never met a bad member.
Cheers
Tony
