Hi guys, all is looking good. I won't keep posting here until I have more news so keep checking this thread, okay? As mentioned I'll do a test drive on Sat morning 29th so will probably post more info after that unless something else comes up. I'm really looking forward to meeting all of you, will be great fun and glad we can show Okibi some SA hospitality!! :mrgreen:

I promise I'll beat anyone around the ears if they give you grief for coming in the Camry :evil:

But good luck fixing your baby.

Hey, you heading up the river this Easter? I remember you did last year when I was on a houseboat out of Mannum!

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

You can'twork, you have to comeout and play with all of us! ...or if you are working that night can you come and do the little Loebethal run in the afternoon??

My car drank a lot of oil chaising Sam, Juffa and Al up the Vic mountains.

Think the valve stem seals are r00ted.

It should be fine for the rest of my trip and i'll keep everyone updated. It might mean that we should scrap the Murray Bridge run and just drop her off at the depot then go out from there.

So far everyone in S.A. have been so welcoming and friendly, looking forward to returning to Adelaide.

I drove a mini Moke from Adelaide to Roxby Downs , Some 600/700 K/s and used 9 litres of oil. What,s your problem??????? :lol:

Look forward to meeting you John

Glad you're having fun Dave! Stay in touch about the Friday afternoon drive. I'll still go do the test run on Saturday morning and check out times, etc. Will PM you with info.

Guys, will stay in touch with you all too, good fun!! :mrgreen:

Hi guys,
I think I'd best make a dinner booking for the Bath Hotel for Friday night 04 April. Figured for 7.00pm if that sounds good to everyone? That would give us time for maybe a brief Hills run before, if Dave wants one (it's all about Dave of course!!)

Can you please let me know whether you are a yes or a no and how many people (in case any of you are bringing your navigators along...!). If I've missed anyone please just add your name and number to the list!

1. Gail 1
2. Dave
3.SuperMazdaKart
4.RandyMX5
5.AdamNAClubman
6.Spitty
7.Jaxom_2
8.LuckyLuke

Looking forward to it and to meeting all of you! :mrgreen:
