hi David,

has a GREAT time in Tassy - got back early am. on Tuesday. Spend about 2 days driving on the beaches and foreshore, 1 full day in mud and water, and the other 6 days "touring".

The car got formally named - “Monty”. My 8yo’s nominated name, which seems to have “stuck”.

Everyone on the trip (my especially) loved Monty and I have not had any more transmission issues (Massaro checked it before we went, and all appeared OK – flow rates good, etc. They also confirmed that the computer was reporting/working ok – formal response “await further client feedback”).

I also had a safari snorkel fitted, so that may have helped Question

I also had the ARB bar, warne winch, and IPX dirving lights fitted – Monty looks pretty awesome now (if I don’t say so myself). I tried to put some pics into my gallery, but they were all too big – I’ll reduce the size and post them. I also have some video of river crossings, etc, which I will also post once I figure out the technology.

Thanks for asking. Off to the high country tomorow for another off-road (long) weekend - I can get used to this... Whistle

(Sorry to all about the Off Topic ).

I am planning to go to Cooma, a "mate" (OK a pommie mate) has booked motel rooms at Cooma for the Easter gathering.
He has also just ordered a Freelander 2 without even seeing one in the flesh.
Wilpena is a long haul about 2500 kms one way so I won't be able to get to both.

Ok. Things are falling into place now. At this stage just waiting for the dates on the UK event. Have corresponded with the Sky Trek mob and tourist info mob for details on availability, accommodation, 4WDing and rough costs (which will come down mainly to numbers). Once we get the dates we can post this as an event (Thanks Martin Thumbs Up ) and make it all official like Thumbs Up and get costing on a real basis.
I'll keep You all updated.
Cheers,
David.


Edit: Embarassed Sorry forgot to say. Have at least one place with accommodation that will allow tents, tin-tents and 4wall option in one area. This place has it's own very good (I'm told) 4wd trek and doesn't have any objection to campfires being lit.
I'll be doing a bit of a reccie trip in Dec to have a look around before finalising and to pay deposits etc.
Cheers again.
David.

and this place would be??. drives like Sky Trek and the like require a fee and if you're going to pay, there are better places around.

Ok name names Very Happy . Part hence the reccie.
From what I'm told they all just about have fees.
Was talking about Shearers Quarters.



Edit: sorry all over the place this a.m. with work, Sister's wedding and other Censored . Sky trek said accom would be reduced to prac. nothing if enough went on the skytrek trip. eg free camping & tin-tents.

Putting up the plate glass shield for protection he asks: Should we mention this event to The Dark side, FL2 etc. or keep it Disco3.co.uk?

Wilpena Pound in May sounds terrific - please count my bride and I in for a place ...
 Why have I never felt this way about a 4WD before?
