    Yep, just one WA auction.
    WA destined to get G wagons in 2114...
    Plenty over here (quite a collection at Palmer barracks all lined up) but no news from grays.
    I'll hit them up tomorrow.
    My LRPV and Gunbuggy are happy to get some attention.
    PV needs to be mobile for April 25th

    Will be interested to hear how you go Cliffy, we've had one auction here in Perth and there was'nt much on offer. When I saw a heap pof Mogs, Macks and Rovers and in the rail yard at Kewdale going east I contacted Defence and the Minister and got no where. One or two Gs appearing around Irwin but I don't think anyones holding thier breath.

    Haha! Yes a joke folks.
    Although some reserve units in the East have traded their 110's there are no whispers about any coming here.
    A few "examples" of the new vehicles are here for mechanic familiarisation.
    So not sure if the will even stay here.
    We still have a lot of 110 fleet in WA but grays in their infinite wisdom are shipping them all to Minto.
    Just like the 90's all over again when all surplus was sent east or destroyed.
    You guys would cry if you new what was burned in Midland. Some VERY important historical items were just saved by the skin of their teeth!

    nahh, they just cant handle the drive over it takes that long to keep the parts up to them to keep em rolling, and the further west you go the longer the part delays get.

    Or just miss out altogether, it's the WA way, bit rough considering we prop up the rest of the country

    or a TD5 Defender which uses half that fuel...


    But maybe you have deep pockets? Good luck to you...
