Vic Meetup with RLI in Geelong this weekend

Hey boys,

Well I'm home all safe and sound. Poor patrol is in need of love. Diff is rooted. Dunno whats happened coz it really hasnt had a hard life but just as we got home it seemed to be acting like a lokker in the rear. sharps turns and lots of noises from the back. Lucky I got other diffs to go in so looks like they will be going in sooner rather than later lol.

Darren - Abi slept great through the night was asleep by 10ish I think. But woke about 530 n wasnt a happy girl. Shes been a bit "blocked up" and meds she is on seemed to kick in rather quickly you could say and yeah she wasnt a happy girl with all that going on.
Both myself and Sarah are very keen to get down there and look around. Even with the pics now I want to more haha. Looks stunning down that area. I drive through the otways a lil bit recently but for work so only bitumen roads but it really is a spectacular area.

Paul - Was really nice to meet you. Your a top bloke and thanks for the offer. I hope to be able to drop by and say hi late august up your way. Depending what way we decide to come home.

Everyone else again great to meet the new ones and great to catch up with the rest of you again.

Now time to spend some money and time and get the patrol ready for Brindies :D.

Great day had by all.
I have some good carcam footage of the morning mid track and also the run into Dandos in the wet. Trouble is they are about 6gig in size so I won't try and upload.
Anyone know of a free video editing program as I need to delete one section as we hit Lardners and remove the audio - wouldn't want to bore you all with mature age gentlemen discussions.

Afraid that one will probably have to be out also as I'm getting married on the 1st so doubt she would be impressed if I nicked off just prior though it would be as good as a bach party could get

We had an absolute ball. Every ones' radio chatter had mudnutette and I in hysterics. I was very happy with the way the RB30 and the BFG rugged terrains, performed. but when it rained, I wish the tyres had a tad more bite. Being the only stock Q in the convoy, I had to spend ages using the high pressure wash in Colac as I think we lugged half of the Otways with us. Thank you, Darren, Paul and Andy, for organising this great trip.

Hey Mudnut,

Certainly was sticky stuff, I had another 100k to go from Colac and hit every puddle and still ended up with half an Otway hill in the back yard. Had the Karcher going for ages, and a stick to poke the real sticky stuff loose.
Very happy with the way the auto preformed, and agree a little more bite would have helped as I am still running the original factory AT's.

Yeah I must say that stuff sticks like shit to a blanket... I spent much longer than normal cleaning and yesterday looked under the car to find there was still heaps under there!!!! evil stuff!!!

Yeah. Nothing sticks like Otway Mud!!! Imagine what it was like cleaning the GQ after the Gates of Hell trip!!!! Insane!

I just finished top dressing the back lawn with Otway mud, hope it doesn't kill the lawn like Njarkat mud does.

You'll have Tree Ferns and gums sprouting in no time, just need water (lots of it).

mate what oil did you put in the diff, as its a limited slip you need to use the correct oil or she will bind up just as you describe.
