    I've been working in Renmark this week and staying in a cabin at the local caravan park (much better than a motel room for mine) and the crew from "What's Up Downunder" are staying in the cabins near me. they spotted my Patrol as i drove in tonight and they asked if they can interview me on camera tomorrow morning! The show is sponsored by Nissan of course. I agreed and now i'm packing it...never been on tele before.

    all done..but I was awful. but at least the boss will be happy because I got to plug our brand. They are sending me a DVD prior to airing so if it's too bad I'm not telling anyone about it. otherwise I'll let you all know when it's on.

    Gave the new GU8 its first real test off road today. Hit the power lines track up behind the Zig Zag railway, which is chopped up serverly at the moment. With the lift, 33s and factory locker it walked up pretty easy despite the massive holes and mud. i was extremely impressed with the locker, wow, what a differnce it makes. Sorry no pics...the missus won't get out to take photos of the car...

    she got out at the top of the power lines track where it relatively lame and took the above pics. But the first section of this track is pretty full on with deep ruts and a few exposed rocks. My mate in his GU went up first then we followed in mine. Unfortunatley my mate in his Prado only made it a quarter of the way and had to reverse back down and take the chicken track. On our way out we went to go back this way but the track was blocked by a brokendown ute. It was getting dark and there was no one around. It appears the ute owner had gone for help. so we had to tack the chicken track.
    We saw a dingo on the road on the way home. A bit of a treat to see one especially running along the Bells Line of Road.
