That's the caltex down at the corner of Great Eastern highway and Farrel Rd I reckon. Just a hop skip and a jump from my place actually! I would love to meet up with ya's, but I am doing a bit of work on my old bus tomorrow. Maybe next time!

Sorry guys but the proverbial has it the fan at work so I've gotta work tomorrow. If I can get a day pass off the missus, fancy Sunday instead?

Tim, I'll give you a call later mate.

I am cleaning up the troll on Sunday but would be keen some other time, need to get her interior out and get rid of all the sand and do a bit of preventative maintenance before I am happy with her, keep in touch for next time!

Soooooooooooooooo who else is up for a little drive on Sunday, surely the ones who couldn't make it Saturday???????

Well we meet at 0800 as planned intros and hand shake out of the way we set of on our adventure to the power lines, not long on the black top and then on to the rough stuff first couple of ks was not so bad then got a little bit rougher kids started laughing and as luck would have it one of them spilt thier pop corn hmmmmmm good one dad was the comment from the back and then more laughter.

first hill was cool and then we settled into the rythem of nice and slow :thumbup: then started to see more traffic as the day got one some nice trucks with all the fruit hmmm money wish i had more, any way was a good day had a ball and missed some of the better bits and went the chicken tracks but not to many.

funny thing i found a spanner on the front of the troll on the bullbar half way through the trip.

cheers clunk for the trip.
