UM Na it out of rego.cant just rock up & get 6 months you have to get it all sent out for the 6 months. So i have to wait to get it sent out then i can pay it..I think i will just wait a week or so & put 12 months on it they told us it could wait but they said it could take upto 3 weeks to get it sent out for the 6 months.Aparently your serposed to organise it in advanced i'll remember that for next time..

Camping is a good idea Banjo. We just had a weekend at Lake Moogerah near Warwick. Would have been good except several hundred people had the same idea, so we'll go back when its not a holiday weekend.
If we didn't go anywhere because something bad might possibly happen, we'd never go anywhere.

I was thinking of joining a landrover club but the one in newcastle only has a couple of landy's in it the rest a crapoyta's.
Not sure if i would get the benifits of being in a club as i don't go out but there are other benifits i spose .
I'm just a bit embarrest to explain my situation & worried i mite get laughed out before i even done anything.
Anyone got some thoughts or opinion on the matter what should i do.
Do we or don't we.
There mite be some people in a club that mite be understanding maybe.
I don't want sympathy just some understanding like on here would be good..

Hope you are well Banjo. You may end up laughing at the Craptoytas by showing them up if yours has a Salisbury diff.

And I have a 12v hair dryer - I was going to use it for the demisters on the 109 - but came up with a better plan. The Aussie Bride likes the fact that I have a 12v hair dryer - it is helping her towards taking the camping step.

If you have a Series, County, etc. you do not need a 12 volt hair dryer, just drop the windscreen forward and take her for a drive.

The great thing about the Newcastle and Hunter Valley area is that there are so many great places. I loved going away for short camping trips here there and everywhere up the valley, which unfortunately I can't really do anymore seeing as I'm in Perth!!

I actually got up this morning and thought it'd be a beaut day to go up to the bay for the day, then realised I was 4000km away from Nelson Bay, it's still sinking in that I'm not in Maitland anymore!!

Anyway, just keep taking the little steps and after a while you'll realise you've made a huge leap forward. And if you do manage to convince fatty a night or two in the tent would be a bit of fun, I'll be jealous as!!

I remember seeing photos of great places near Perth.

The scar on my hand looks like bite mark and when people ask me what happened, I say my wife bit me!!!

When I was a boy around ten I heard my brother Whimpering in his bedroom, ran in and his hand was clenched around the electrical cord going to the transformer of our train set. Dog had chewed through the cord. I yanked him back getting a shock myself. He had burnt right though to the bone. Is okay now over 50 years later.

Yeah mate, if the power had'nt earthed from one side of my hand to the other and gone through my heart instead I would be dead now. It was that bad it blew the back out of my hand, the sight of the tendons was not a pleasant one!!!!
