[04OFF]

If you ever come to Brisbane to do a show AB , please talk to me first, ive got a garage full of PA Audio and Visual Display stuff here from when I had my own promotional business a few years ago.




This was a small display I did at the Brisbane Showgrounds for the VW guys.....

Can do 3x3M to fit the standard show booth like yours, my mate owns a sign company, so can get access to cheap digital printing/signage etc.

I own one, I just don't drive it :(

[Clunk]

Nice work AB but I can't see any Redback rooftop bags on the stand anywhere...... I'm presuming they're under the tables waiting to be revealed at some point during the show?!

Got a price from office works....$45 for each magazine!!!

I literally laughed at her and said are you serious? $4500 for 100 magazines in cheap paper 26 pages...really?

[megatexture]

Nah mate, there's too many of them and they're all full of dribble........ It must have been discussed during the 6 weeks I had next to no sight

[cgm]

Glad I had a quick look at the forum tonight and noticed this thread. For some reason had it in my head that it was not this weekend, but the week after! Better get organised to drop in on Saturday!

Stand looks good.

If anyone needs to set up a stand at whatever show then Velcro sticky dots are a must...lol

Thank god I bought Velcro dots...lmao

[BigRAWesty]

Looking good mate. See if you can throw a bag to the micky t boys for a display aswell..

[AB]

The show has been open for only an hour and I have recruited 5 new members and convinced a range rover driver to convert to a patrol...lol

[Winnie]

That would not have really been that hard though... hahaha

[AB]

I cannot believe how many patrol owners now know about the forum, very well worth coming here and it's only Friday!

[Hodge]

Just came home. Nice to finally meet Andy. AB has a nice stand, a lot of interested and a lot of converts, who'll join forum shortly.
Walked around with BA and Alexander, and bumped into Sean (Family4x4). Nice show. I'll be going tomorrow again, now that I have a few things in mind to buy.
Whos coming???

[jack]

I'll be there Sunday, AB will probably be packed up by then - no rooftop or wheel bags left I suppose.

[MEGOMONSTER]

I might be going Sunday also.
Missus asked if I wanna go and I said yes.

[Alitis007]

I'll be popping in sunday morning.

I'll take one of everything !! Put it on Andy's tab!!!!

I made a farken idiot of my self. Were talking to them about their rear bars and how good they are and how I'm most likely gonna get one bla bla ...
Then I said i just need to find time to drive up to Mansfield to get one fitted... They just gave me this death stare....
For whatever reason i thought they were in Mansfield... But turns out their closest competitor Milweld is the one in Mansfield and these guys were somewhere near lilydale.
Needless to say it was awkward.

Good onya mate!

He is a fantastic man ole Darren and a good friend/mate to you and the forum members. He looked after me with the two diffs that I purchased of him early this year. even though he is a balding, short legged, firm buttock hairy farkerrr.

I think Bloodyaussie once stated that "Darren has an arse of gold" or shite, he could of meant an "heart of gold" lol

[MEGOMONSTER]

What ain't you telling us Andy. Lol

[cgm]

Well, had a good day. Finally got to meet a few people (AB, MudRunner and Hodge, oh and Andy's Dad too). Went along without much money, which is probably the only way to go to a show like this - way too many goodies.

I did score myself a show special, but Rooftop Bags were all sold out! (I had to ask at least, just to make sure)

I need a bigger wheel to hang it off, but it looks good. Seems really good value compared to other bags that were also on special at the show.

(Another half a tank of fuel for Andy for the Simmo trip :) )

[MudRunnerTD]

Well had a great day at the show guys, met a few members and spoke to quite a few with user names but not much activity, will be great to see a few of these guys stick their heads in here.

Sold a heap of Bags and had good quality interest in You4WD.

Bring on tomorrow.

Hope you had another great day.

[Dales300exc]

Saw you gents there. Looked good.

[jack]

Dropped in at the stand today, caught up with AB, MudrunnerTD and AB,s dad.
They were all very busy, probably passed the stand a further four times throughout the day and there wasn't a single time they weren't busy talking to pospects.
Well done guys, and must add I'm not surprised those rooftop bags sold out so quickly - looked a quality product. (Bet some of our WA members would love some).

[AB]

Saw you gents there. Looked good.

Thank you mate..was a crazy weekend!!!

If you didn't notice I was all over the shop mate, bloody good to see you though and shame we couldn't Ching wag for longer...lol

Nah some of us got lucky. I managed to snag one off the display, before the masses rolled in at the show and bought the rest...

Just a good opportunity to show it off. I know...sorry bud you really missed out!!

Hi Paul, I'm not aware that we know each other, but not trading off our full names, you never know, Ballarat is a pretty small place. I remember a long time back I first noticed Apollofish was obviously from Ballarat as he suggested someone get some advice from Dale at Truline, who is one of the good blokes doing suspension locally. I wasn't around at the time, still overseas.

I'll send you a PM Apllofish, maybe we can catch up for coffee sometime. Have you ever been around the local 4WD club? I'm also a bit slow and only realised during the last few weeks that Cuppa is also here in Ballarat now (noticed it amongst Kris's family motor bike thread). I'll PM him as well to see if he would want to join us?

[AB]

Do you still have ours put aside for the trip??

Yeah mate it's still happening no stress...

[Clunk]

Bloody spewing I couldn't make it to the expo. Worked Friday, too crook to go anywhere Saturday and had my grandmother's 101st birthday today. So I got absolutely naught done in my backyard this weekend too.
