Wolfie

Who asked you!!

Bloody Vics.

I invited me self!! Jeez Muddy - thought you would have been staying on the bitumen after your excursions into the mud. Have you got a winch and Jack and shovel and chamois now??

Besides - if you come here, it will help Vic balance our budget. hahaha

Andrew

I am advocating a venue on THIS side of the border!

I now have the shovel, snatch stap and chamois but I'm still saving up for the winch!!

This damn site has just frozen up for 15mins and it is so frustrating to someone on cable not to be able to post an instant reply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Muddy

So you have cable now in S.A.

(Did drive me nuts having it frozen! David was probably doing his BAS and took his eye off the ball!)

You just have this horrible feeling that you are missing out on something when the page won't refresh. Performance has been pretty patchy the last week or so. Page refresh varies between 0.3 seconds and 0.3 hours!

All other sites are instant response. David had better have a heart to heart with his ISP!

Muddy

It was like when I went to my old mans place and was trying to show him how to edit photos on his old Windows 98 computer - you would alter the color and then wait for 30 seconds while the cogs were turning before you saw the result - and he has dial up internet. It was like driving a Nissan!

"It was like driving a Nissan!"

What is the net equiv of a high five???? LOLOL Well said.

Muddy

Andrew,
Out of respect for your lovely wife (g'day Jen) and gorgeous kids, I'm gunna pretend I didn't "hear" that comment........ I know you're actually a closet wannabe Nissan owner. hahahahaha :-)
Catchya later

Dear Muddy Doe,

Don't forget that EVERY single time you've ever been bogged, it's been a great Nissan that has pulled you out of the shyte!!!!!!! And I'm sure it'll happen again.....LOLOLOL :-)

Cya at the get-to-gether.....

OK Roachie, I'll have to give you that one. Can't argue with fact!

Early days yet. Hopefully will be a while before next recovery required. But then that would be no fun eh! We shall see..........

Muddy

Thanks Russ been to castles landing several times, hope you can squeeze a day trip in if not the w/end.

Sorry Peninsula, AAndy just corrected me.

Well naturally Muddy, I prefer SAND!!!

But I'll play with your mud anyway.

Sand is also good! I was at Pesty's place yesterday and he was showing me some video from a trip to Peake. Let me at those dunes!!!!

Muddy (with a hint of sand)

Only 10 or 12 feet???

No worries!

Hey Muddy,

I'm not picking on you but you better escalate the priority for the snorkel on your wish list...... LOLOLOL :)

Hi John thank you for the reminder, not sure if the CEO can fit it into his diary, so will have to wait till he appears again. Your not far into mexico, you could find an excuse to come to SA for a weekend, Hmmmm

John, had I mentioned a paddle on the Glenelg in November previously?

Pesty, being a little distance from the border are you making me an honorary South Aussie? That be very nice of you to waive the normal taints we Vics expect. I think the CEO is coming this way but not sure of timings in his diary. He spoke to me about it.

Des, you had indeed mentioned it. I hope we can organise a minor flood or something to keep the current moving. I like rapids to make a paddle interesting. Is a nice area there but I hope you can come further east too. Can get the visa stamped at the border ok.

Cheers guys

Des,

There are toilets there at Peake and you need to bring in firewood. I suspect the main problem there is that it is on Private property and is pretty well booked year out for 4wd Club training.

G'day Mad Dog,

Sorry mate.....you and the englishmen won't be able to come....too short-a-notice to get your passports organised and visas approved. LOL

Oh, alright, you can come; just don't bring any of the other rif-raf over with you from mexico....we can only take you blokes in small doses.

hahahahaha :-)

I'll have to contact SAPOL and get them to set up a picket of cameras on all roads that cross the border. Set at 60kmph. Get some of that revenue back!

Ray, being born and bred in this state, I can be parochial however as we only live a few k's from the border, I can be more accomaditing than some of the others. You are most welcome to come over. Don't take any notice of Roachie or Muddy as they are still hung up from being bred in NSW. Must be the personality clash between Vic/NSW.

Ok Des, now I understand the problem you have with these guys I can be a bit forgiving but they certainly don't do much for SA do they :) I notice there are a few other ratbags as well, never mind it takes all kinds. Nah, just kiddin, couldn't give a stuff really. When and where it is will dictate if I can attend it not. I have a lot on my plate the next few months with the family heading overseas and tradesman invading the house and lots of loot being spend on the ute. Thanks for the invite we'll see what happens.

Same here

Dates are good for me.

Your right there. Plenty of good spots .
Are you from The Jane fame.

G'day Ruth,
Now let me see.......and summarise the problems that some folks have there at present....
1). Mal's Toyota (sorry I should have emphasised...."TOYOTA") has a broken wishbone (NB: with a Nissan there's nothing to "wish" about; they just keep on keeping on)
2). Hilux with a snapped chassis (now I'm no expert on vehicle makes and models, but i looked up on a Google search and lo and behold a "Hilux" is made by the same japanese company...."TOYOTA")
3). Disco with a broken gearbox.
4). Disco rolled over.

I can only summise that all the Nissan's are in perfect working order and have continued on through your lovely town and are safely on their way taking their smart owners (who weren't fooled by all the BS spun by Lawsy into buying one of those inferior cars) to their intended destinations.

Actually, now that i think about it a bit more, I reckon Lawsy calls the Hilux "unbreakable" and says things like "can't kill it with a stick". If I was the poor buggar who owned it, I be suing Lawsy and the Yota company for false advertising!!!! LOL

Sorry if I seem insensitive to these poor fellow travellers, but hopefully their insurance will cover them or warranty etc. I feel confident that when they return to their respective homes, they might reassess their choice of horse-less carriage......I can put them in touch with a nearby nissan dealer.

Cheers for now......and regards to all up there, especially the ultimate owners....

Cya

As usual Roachie you have it all wrong, each of these people have had Nissans before and the tiny teathing problems they are having now are nothing to what they had go wrong when they were running Nissans.
Andrew summed up Nissans well last night I beleive, now theres a man who knows his rigs LOL

I believe the quote "(Notice there is no mention of any Nissans). " refers to the fact that no Nissans were present, vis a vis they did not actually MAKE IT to the Birdsville CP! Still out there on the other side of Big Red no doubt! Or parked alongside the Birdsville track perhaps........

Muddy

Pesty,
I hope the owners with the busted chassis and broken wishbone consider their troubles to be "teething problems" LOL
I don't know anybody who has had a Nissan and got rid of it to get a Yota; but i know a few who have had Yotas and now have Nissans (Gerk, and Zierschy to name just 2 in our club.....and i think Mousy from Maitland did too.....) hahahahaha :-))
Catchya....

Sorry Roachie but the hilux and cruiser are not made by the same company.

Cruiser is and always has been made by Araco. Toyota plant their name on it....so much for the google search

G'day Ray,
Sorry mate, please forgive my ignorance over the cruiser and hilux issue. I guess I must have been led astray by the seemingly same "TOYOTA" name on them and the same poofy oval shape thingamejig/emblem with curved lines drawn inside it........what IS that bloody thing sposed to be anyway??? hahaha
Hope you don't mind my warped sense of humour??? hahaha
Cya lata

When you boil it all down Roachie they are all mass produced disposable items made in Japan and destined for the crusher but don't let that stand in the way of a good stir eh!

Now Ford, well they're another item, each one made with love and care and given the kiss of life...arhh gotta love the Ford name.

Excuse me but gotta talk like that Bill Ford is my employer :)

Roachie,

Are Nissan owners so dense not to be able to recognise a stylised letter "T"? A bit of automotive culture that.

The Nissan logo obviously needs the company name to be spelled out in full so that Nssan owners can remember how to spell it! I think they call it rote learning.

Us Toyota owners can get by with just a subtle reminder of the superiority of the brand.

Hey Ray,
Is that a company car you are driving??? LOL

Cheers
Muddy

Haha Muddy company car, that is from Isuzu, the makers of real trucks.
What on earth did you think it was :)
