Done!! I think everyone attending has my mobile number, so any drama's just text me until about 11am tomorrow (will loose service after that).
See you all there!!! Can't wait!!!
What time is everyone who is heading up there saturday planning on getting there
Redman (my brother) and my missus are heading from somewhere near Redcliffe about 8 (arrive about 10) as for the others no idea.
I think most will be there late morning.
Had a close call this arvo - Tank started to die on idle on petrol. Would start fine everytime, run with revs but idle rough - take off ok then when I let my foot off the accelerator, it would gurgle slowly to a stop ... got Derek to throw the ecu monitor on it and it was running rich - checked all the hoses, the inlet ducting etc and then removed the MAF sensor and cleaned it - all back to normal! How bizarre ... need to get the injectors done, but fingers crossed he's all good to go! Phew ... Close call before we leave in the morning. Tank is starting to make a habit of this! LOL
Thank f@#k for that. I had a scare on Tuesday. Adam borrowed my truck to get a bearing pressed onto his axle. The bloody thing stopped dead at Woodridge. Same thing that happened on the way home from Beerburrum. Found that it was one little wire that was meant to be attached to the dizzy. Same day the Commodore shat a radiator hose. What a dismal day it was.
Wish i was going on this trip guys, hope to read some funny stories and pics soon!!!
pics from the drunken bums!!!!!!! I hope the girls can take pics
Would be great to have some "out of towners" coming mate, but being the big wide land it is, makes it somewhat difficult ... should be heaps of video and photos so will be sure to post up on our return!!Quote:

true that mate. Have been looking at the weather and radar
Only a bit of water mate. Today is supposed to be the worst of it - how does it look at Jimna though? Hope a bit of water doesn't turn anyone off - I would have to question our resolve as Queenslanders and Nissan Patrol owners!! LOLQuote:

UPDATE - for those of you concerned about the rain. Latest from BOM - Jimna has had only 4.6mm of rain since 9:00am yesterday morning (Thursday) so still pretty dry up there .. (http://reg.bom.gov.au/products/IDQ60...01.94557.shtml) - just know people get jumpy with camping at the first sign of water ... I obviously can't predict the weather, but hopefully we'll still see you all up there.
Weather is supposed to get better tomorrow. OK I am about to leave see you soon Scotty.
All the best mate hope the weather holds for you,its raining here in trafalar and quite cool
nearly time to get the fire going???????? Its only march,early winter comming and lots of snow
Seeya mateQuote:
