Nobody mention what we did when he passed out in march :).

[Ben-e-boy]

I made it to mum and dads. It took me 15 hours. Got 15.4L/100 abit more than I expected. But 180kg of diesel, a set of 35's camping gear, spotties, light bar and a winch plus Much more fuel, I suppose its allright. I was good to get a bit of weight on the springs, it was a more comfortable ride.

[rusty_nail]

Deni a record breaker again

Oct. 7, 2013, midnight


IT seems it wouldn’t be a Deni Ute Muster if a few records weren’t broken.

Once again the muster has been an outstanding success, attracting more than 20,000 people.



First there was a new world record for the annual blue singlet count.

In fact the record was smashed, with the weekend’s tally of just under 4000 easily breaking the total from 2010 of 3500.

Added to that was a new record for the number of utes, the 9376 vehicles on site eclipsing the old mark again of 2010.

While the growing popularity of the muster is obvious, the spirit of the event has again helped make it such a winner.

Put simply, everyone was clearly having a great time.

And the large number of families who turned out showed the muster has something for everyone.




Clearly the organisers know what they are doing and have put in a lot of hard work to make Deniliquin an absolute must on people’s calendar each year.

Deni Ute Muster general manager Kathie Heyman quite rightly tells of how much of an honour it is to have so many families return each year “to the plains”.

What an outstanding result for the muster’s 15th anniversary.


Sorry for this Post as it has nothing to do with the meetup. I must be bored LOL

[matfew]

Lol yeah I worked in deni for a few years. Place I worked for sponsored it and all. Spent a bit of time helping them set up etc but I couldn't wait for Friday to get the hell out of there. To many wankers come up. Cops are well turn into nazis that weekend lol

[Drewboyaus]

I'm now in two minds if I should come this weekend. My gearbox is giving me the sh!ts and the idea of either not being able to shift from 2-1 or into reverse when we will be hitting some steep tracks this weekend is not filling me with warm and fuzzy feelings. They can't get it in to the workshop this week and one of my mates who does a lot of the mechnical work for me is overseas.
She's sitting in the driveway 80% packed but now I can't decide whether to call it or not. Dammit!

Can you get over to Melton? f you can see if you can arrange for Brett to take it for a spin mate. he has a pretty neat test track 2 minutes from his factory in the big vacant estate next door. i reckon he can give you piece of mind in 10 minutes for sure.

Have you serviced it, did you use a friction modified oil (castrol VMX80)?

[MudRunnerTD]

Hey Drew,

[Drewboyaus]

I didn't but I assume my mate did who last changed the fluids. I trust him as he's worked for Guests down here (he's a good mechanic) and has owned patrols for 20 years. Trouble is I can't get hold if him to find out because he's in Switzerland somewhere for the next couple of weeks.

[AB]

Packing time!!!!!

[Drewboyaus]

Hey Drew,

i just spoke to Brett and he would be happy to test drive you car and give you his opinion. any time other than Wednesday Morning mate. Give hinm a call or just drop in and he will road test then track test if needed.

Success! Thanks again Daz. All good. Turned out to be some clutch adjustment that was required. I now have no further adjustment left.
Unfortunately it means my clutch is heading towards its end and will need to be replaced before any Simpson crossing is attempted.
But it does mean will be turning up at Andy's on Friday morning! 10am was it???
BA, Erica is still coming? Liz is keen as mustard. I'll have Jamie again too as Navi so the GQ will be chockers. No roof basket either...

[Winnie]

Just done all my shopping, forgot a couple of things but I'll probably do that early Friday morning. I'll pack later tonight and change tyres tomorrow.... I love daylight savings!

[Bloodyaussie]

Yes Erica is still coming but only just as she is pushing the limits at the moment.

I will shop tomorrow and do an oil change....

My brushcutter died today and it is the worst time for this to happen as I have so much on... they last about 3-4 years which is very good for a contractor.

So now my plans have been jumbled up and I have to shop and pack and stuff in a different order.

Fitted the Drag link and while adjusting my rear sway bar connects I bashed my left elbow so frickin hard its killing me.... then I dropped my phone and smashed the glass.... faaarrrkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a GQ BA, thats how they come from factory and no need to tighten the bolts, just keep the oil topped up. My theory is if you keep topping it up with fresh oil daily there is no need to do an oil and filter change at each service ...........works for me anyway *L*
