yep not happy jan got smacked up the arse by a corolla at full pelt that went under the pajero!

that's not cool at all. is jan all ok? metal/plastic can be fixed, people are a lot harder...

and i'm glad that sentence contained "by a corolla" in the appropriate place, as opposed to something else... :whistle:

[kriso]

kriso.... what is doing? next i'll hear about you getting your hair done, makeup and meeting the girls for a morning chin wag over a iced frappe late mocha thingo, with 4 inches of cream on top, but made with skim milk of course...

[kriso]

i wasnt in the car i was pit crewin out at the winters lol which reminds me i have some photos to put up when i get home from the drags.

[benno573]

ah well... doesn't sound like a write off, it's not her fault so can't affect your insurance... not too bad really. it'll be as good as new in no time!

anyway, back to the topic, you going to be ready to take it up the beach? i'm sure we'll all manage to not hit it...

[kriso]

depends on work alota stuff in the pipeline at the moment so will know closer to the date. if so she's gettin dirty!!!

[benno573]

don't you worry about that, it'll be getting dirty... i'd suggest you don't drive behind me, lest you be covered in sand from my back tyres!!!

[shortie]

1 trailer load of Iron Bark wood cut Yesterday for the camp fire.

Anyone that doesnt like a camp fire to keep warm by can cuddle Kriso for Warmth.

[ellicat]

I'm betting at least one member will have sore shoulders today

Good work on saving us from a kriso cuddle:laugh:

[kriso]

awwwe come on fellas hahahahah

[benno573]

nah mate, shoulders are fine... one of the advantages of being a young fella. i think i strained my back fat though... :pinch: :laugh:

so to business - have we a confirmed list of starters yet? any "maybe's", "i'll check with the mrs", "i'll talk to the boss" type people got it sorted out? anyone else coming up for the full trip other than jeff f, carstenvp, shortie and i?

and kriso... you never know your luck... :kiss: or misfortune... however you see it.

[shortie]

The list is being compiled as to what gear Benno and I are taking. We are towing a trailer each. We are going to be very comfortable.

Does anyone have a couple of big buckets wtih sealable lids to donate to the cause. To be used for the long drop.

AFO banner will be out the front of the camp site so we are recognisable from the beach for those coming up later.

Bummer. There is always next time. These sort of camping trips is definatelly something that i want to organise more frequently. There will be plenty more.

[shortie]

Batman is now a confirmed starter for this trip.

Our numbers are growing.

[benno573]

nice one! keep adding names! as both shortie and i are towing a trailer up there should be no problems with room for people and gear. of course if you have your own 4WD that would be even better! so far i have carstenvp only in my car, can take two more if required. a lot more comfy than the patrol... :whistle: :silly:

[Gazza]

Yeah count me in :woohoo:

I will be bringing my Patrol and have a spare seat or 2 leaving from Riverview for the full trip

Gaz

[shortie]

[benno573]
