Couldn't resist, sick of the standard unit.

Nice Rod. Got sick of the cassette player? lol
Got a Black Wolf turbo 300 canvas tent today. On special too. Missus and I are both super keen to get out and use it.
Was very underwhelmed by the oztrail in comparison.
Nice... i need to replace my Eonon hunk of junk.... im sick of havibg a radio thats never in tune properly. i wont be getting one with a sat nav though. As i have a decent one in my phone so this will save atleast a grand...Quote:

Yeah my next unit won't be having the gps. Google maps/directions on phone / Offroad and out of network maps Hema Explorer...
I've had shit luck with cheapo units... So next unit will be a branded one.
I still find it funny how ppl rely on the GPS even going to work,
maybe they are using it as a speedo.
I've used my phone a few times but it chews down on my data, plus if you're out of range you're buggered and Hema doesn't do directions.
You can download the maps and use them offline.Quote:

Ain't they.Quote:

Size and weight wise between the turbo and our tent is stuff all.
Bought the Black Wolf 450. Have only put it up on the front lawn to make sure it's all there so far. Will try it out on 8/9 Jan weekend. Very impressed with the quality so far
From memory the turbo 300 is 5 man. It is 3mx3m. The box said the canvas one is 27.8kg. Played with it in the shop, super easy up and down. Bag is probably 1500x300x300mm. Awkward but manageable for one person.Quote:

Nothing! Because Sprint Auto Parts at Glenelg weren't open, even though the sign on the door and the web says they were
Got it from a place called Tent world. Apparently they are authorized repairers as well so they know how good they are.Quote:

I've got the Turbo 300 Plus in canvas and its 3x3 with another 2.4 ( I think) room out the back. Stacks of room in it for a family of 4. It's in canvas and is bloody heavy around 30kg. I certainly know all about chucking that mother up on the roof.Quote:

Two things one it will come on at night if anyone is sniffing around my patrol and
two just a handy light at night when I get in at night time. will need to make a cover maybe
but I dont drive much at night.
Awesome tents! I have the 4 man one I think (can't remember) ... The only gripe I've had with mine is how they pack away, and how much of a pain that can be when the tent is wet. Can get a bit awkward and messy. Otherwise I love it!Quote:

A set of new Sutton metric drill bits. Its been probably 15 years since I have bought any and did I get a shock at the price! Now I have new bits though and I can practice sharpening the old one with my Drill Doctor. Which I haven't mastered yet. Not that I've really given it a good go.
Shite. I must be weird. I drink everyday on my own, unless someone comes over then I ram a stubby in their gob... LolQuote:

I used the bench grinder last when I was in uni (we do mechanical / electrical / and civil on the first two years). I can't recall how much safety was there, but the good thing was all the machines are very old and you got to see how they are operating compare to new fully covered machines.
Ah... those days....
