I guess at that age lots of blokes have disfunctional issues and softness is one of those issues.
He has been very cagey lately about his new sleeping arrangements so I presume she has arrived (as opposed to "she has come")
John, looking forward to meeting your new sleeping arrangement!!! LOL

Not sure you will like Kim mate.

Des, I talked to your friend and 4by club leader at Renmark today and his KK is due in a week or so I believe. Couldn't believe we had one. Was going to look at a new Honda 20uI through Grahams where ours came from.

Ms Lucy, seems like you need some blue pills.

Member - 'Lucy' posted:

Use em, and regular. (ROFLMAO)

Bet you need them now you have the new 'thingy wagon'

Member - JohnR (Vic)&Moses posted:

Ms Lucy, you need a script for those?

Member - 'Lucy' posted:

There is more to this 'story' than your 'new Jill' (sorry can't member name exactly - yet).

Not for mention on the forum, however next we meet I'll tell you. DVA are an amazing support system.

Member - JohnR (Vic)&Moses posted:

Heard about someone who used the pills as a bonus plan, who next morning on a plane had to kneel to pee. Don't know if he met Jill or Sue or who.

Member - 'Lucy' posted:

That sounds positively nasty.

Hey Baz I was being serious for once. I have problems with my left leg/foot, the clutch is becoming a real pain in the leg for me.

Truckster (Vic) posted:

I will say nothing.... except that we both picked up new bikes for kids at same place and by miracle we turned up at same flamming time without knowin each other was going to be there...

Mad Dog - Vic posted:

hahaha, I hate it when you do this crap Bruce :)

Member - JohnR (Vic)&Moses posted:

Geez, Ray, I haven't gone that soft. No auto box here. Just that Moses has Kim in tow around. As you know, Kim is short for Kimberley. No relation to Kylie or anything or Bomber

Mad Dog - Vic posted:

Ok, now I understand :)

Lets hope Moses doesn't mind a freeloader tagging behind.

Good luck with Kim John

Now JohnR, this is not the (Kimberley) Karavan is it ???

Member - JohnR (Vic)&Moses posted:

Ahh, Al I had told friend Crazie that Moses was going to pull a Mr Whippy Van but really it is a Ms Whippy. Hmmmmm........ Just that Kim sounds more classy for the personal ads in the paper so instead of a coming out with a fellow male, he has Kim in tow.

Well here they are even if a few weeks late for the time of delivery. Had and EO sticker affixed before it left the yard as you may expect. Have to get more soon from the sticker gods. Looking forward to a shakedown trip to the High Country later this month.

Looks great John. Congrats on the pruchase to you and Heather. Did you end up with any issues re: the drawbar length and the extended tray on the Patrol? I was looking at the drawbar on the one at the show and was a bit worried for you.

Look forward to seeing it in action sometime soon.

Member - JohnR (Vic)&Moses posted:

Mr Moggs, funny how you guessed wasn't it and Al above too with some information. We had the drawbar lengthened by 300mm but they have done them to 500mm. I may yet extend the drawbar tongue out from the back with solid bar instead, but undecided on that one. Would only go a short extension if I did. I reckon it could have exceded the speed limit alright it towed pretty well.

A problem with the Moses is that the front wheels seem to want to track off. It has been a bit of a problem with the old tyres I have on to wear down before a change to some others. Keeping the Coopers for winter or dirt.

Gramps (NSW) posted:

Very nice JohnR, very nice.

Whenever the subject of camper trailer/caravan comes up, SWMBO points her finger and makes a strange Bzzzzing sound (like she's pressing a button). I had a devil of a time dragging her away from the Kimberley stand at the last camping/caravan/4wd show.

She came back to Earth a bit when I told her we'd need a Cruiser/Patrol to tow the thing. I think she's suffering a relapse though. She's making those funny noises again LOLOL

Member - JohnR (Vic)&Moses posted:

Ah, Al, I did have a laugh at what you say about your good lady. I am sure a Patrol would enhance your life though and I am sure it would be a 4.2.

Funny how we didn't set out to do anything but look. Fell in love with the technology built in. Diesel for the stove, hot water and heating and very frugal with it. LED lighting throughout. Short enough to go pretty well where we have been, really compact. The standard features are there Site Link but as it isn't actually sealed against all the elements like a tent for clean air.

Looked at Bushtrackers and attracted to the offroad abilities but the weight is a killer as is the case with other offroad vans. What 4by do you have? Am sure Rock Crawler would love to help.

Gramps (NSW) posted:

JohnR,

A Patrol !!! A Landcruiser !!! I'd have to take sides then. Much better in the Lux and able to take potshots at both sides hahahahahaha That's when we have'nt rolled over due to some minor imperfection in the road surface LOL

Rocky would be on my 'pester' list if I was in the market.

Member - JohnR (Vic)&Moses posted:

Al, the buzzing sound you mention from SWMBO. How do you achieve it? I can do it here OK but like to be able press buttons by remote. Ahh that may be fun. You better put on the SWMBO email addy and I could send her the link to KK;)

'Lux eh, had three of those but the two diesels had heart problems of some sort. Something to do with blood thickening.

Gramps (NSW) posted:

LOL she loves that Powerglide feature. I keep her well away from the Net. She can send me broke just as quickly using traditional methods let alone eBay, etc etc etc :))))))

Member - JohnR (Vic)&Moses posted:

When we meet you at Warraweena next year, perhaps she can push Kim's buttons Al. May have to keep her back from yours. LOL

Member - 'Lucy' posted:

Ooops! just sent this a post reply, not followup.

Moses

I am not gobsmacked old son - just 'p i s s e d amd amazed'

Impressed as well.

Kids inheritance going on the road here???????????????????????????

You might call her 'Jill or Sally" etc however I think she has the grace and poise of Audrey Hepburn - Audrey she is.

Mad Dog - I saw a Victorian just out of Horsham in a GU with rego "MADDOG" on Friday.

Are you charging him for an infringement of your trademark?

Mad Dog - Vic posted:

There's a few of us around Andrew but only one can be "the original Mad Dog".

JohnR,

Yep, looking forward to next year. Hope the medication will have cured SWMBO of her button pushing by then hahahahahaha

Sorta like the Audrey suggestion mate.

Hey it's an investment. Reckon the order list will push the values as much as with Ultimates if not more. Reckon the shares we sold had done their run, infact dropped significantly within hours of selling. The broker told me I wouldn't get what I asked, went 6cents beyond before dropping.

Member - 'Lucy' posted:

You have done well and I am busting to have a look.

Might catch up with you and the Des Lexic's for a day visit.

See how things go.

Member - JohnR (Vic)&Moses posted:

I am sure you will be welcome. I guess you will have to be within half a days march from a Jeepney repair person though where ever you go or do you carry one with you? Have you got your CT sorted for direction yet? You may be able to convince Des Lexic to do something similar on a trailer.

Everyone seems to be going trailed for something. Willem, Truckster,Moggs, you, us, well that isn't everyone but there is a trend for roadblocks of some sort. Crazie need a trailer for his Fire and Ice and Camp Cot, well if he takes Kir.. Sure we can convince Des ;-)

Member - 'Lucy' posted:

Sounds like a plan young fella.

Don't you worry about that - JEEP that is.

Just keep and eye on your rope.

Des Lexic posted:

No chance of me getting a road blocker yet John. In a few years time possibly and then it will be a proper road blocker.

Member - JohnR (Vic)&Moses posted:

Ahh, Mr Lexic, you are home. I guess you would drive a different old converted bus. The new machine is hardly a road blocker. Pretty quick to tow actually. Just as slim as Moses.
