Thread: well i have done it

and the pic

welcome.

Well we have had her for a couple of weeks, all good so far, a few little problems. Who ever owned her before was a fastidious type.

Transferring camping kit from the disco I haven’t completed yet.

Need to get some more rims and tiers more suitable for the flinders, what she has now will just get cut up in no time.

Need to get stuff,
water tank.
Front seat foam rubber,
not important but I wouldn’t mind replacing Dash panels.
The bracket to hold shovel etc on the back,
Driving Lights.
UHF \ CB

Things to fix
Brake fluid leak from the Balance? That’s a replacement job.
Oil leak back of TF case, easy
Remove the barrier from behind the front seats and remount\change it to a 1\2 barrier behind the back seat.

Well ain't a small world! I had recently retired from this honorable corner of AULRO because I traded my beloved old "Red Turtle" for a Tdi Disco. Now the "Red Turtle" has re-appeared in the hands of "Clean32"! Congats! You are the fourth owner of this machine, all dedicated LR enthusiasts who looked after it very well.

The Red Turtle has a lotta history and is very well known to some LROCWA members. The Red Turtle led 7 tag along trips in the Kimberley over the 5 years we lived in Derby. Since I led trips to the most out of the way backblocks and old disused tracks we had a ball and what a perfect machine for that work. The Red Turtle never let us down despite having to do all the scrub bashing up front.

Mr Clean32, send me a PM so we can meet up (I live in Morphett Vale). I have various things in my shed you might be able to use.

I have dozens of photos and movies of the Red Turtle in the hard stuff.

... and we did try to sell it on the forum before you traded it in, John!

Congrats on the upgrade! I've recently gone the Isuzu as well. Still keeping my 90 tho, not getting rid of it that easy!

Brilliant, did you grab the silver disco from Len?

PM sent, what you have done is what we are kiting up to do now.

Looks great!!! That colour must have been popular!!!

How many red countys/120s do we have on here? I know of:

Clean32 (county)
Offender90 (120")
Incisor (county)
me (county)

Maybe we should have a roll call of the most popular colour...
