Others who are mechanics or mechanically minded can do servicing and preventative maintenance..... More " real world stuff " not text book learning.

Just a thought.

If someone wants to do a mechanical one I guess i can hold off replacing the gearbox this week, I could bring the other auto gear box and use it for a demo. How to remove and re fit an auto in a GQ...... Lmao. It's worth a try! Scotty you can do one on a fuel tank or radiator. Lol

Fab idea, i dont own a chainsaw, but would be interested to see how to get the most out of using one.


I think Safe (and un safe) Recovery methods should be something talked about at some stage.




I guess, if anyone has a interest in photography , or just has a Digital SLR Camera ,and wants to bring it along, we could go off for a hour or so and share some tips ?

Another top idea - see, it's not all about getting down and dirty in the rigs!!!

So we have a chainsaw, mechanical and photo session to lock in ... We might do a bit of a "toolbox meeting" on Saturday morning/lunch and coordinate who wants to do what and at what times!
