Hi Eric,

Good to hear you made it back and that you were able to catch up with other members.

It seems that there is a general dislike for the Pink Roadhouse, obviously all this ill will isn't getting through to these guys. Haven't been in their direction and it sounds like a place to steer clear of, so what is the problem with these people if you don't mind me asking.

Kind regards

well tell us...whats up with the pink roadhouse??????

Eric
I hold no special place for the Pink Roadhouse, and it may be that I have had a similar experience, but I would hesitate before destroying someones reputation on the basis of your experience alone.

Is great that you guys (and girls) are back safely.

.

Welcome back guys. I take it you didn't like "Port a Gutter"?

What happened at the "Pink bits" on Oodnadatta?

There are a lot of people in life that one meets that you either like or dislike. Don'6t know what happenned to you in Oodndatta and yes Adam can be a little let we say alternative but ifr it wasn't for Adam & Lynnie there would be none of the tourist signage that you would have seen all along your trip and some of it can be life saving across the desert. They have made a lot of maps with a lot of info and have done more for tourism in an area than anyone I know of. remember we are talking OOdnadatta here in the outback not Yuppy Melbourne.

You sounded asleep last night.. :)~

glad you enjoyed it...

TRIP NOTES TRIP NOTES TRIP NOTES!!!!!!!
sounds like ya had fun most of the time at least
cheers

Ok lets get something straight

Adam gets paid to put the sighnes in the desert . Also they are advertising his buisness.

ANYWAY , Why I hate his guts .

I broke a shocker in the painted desert , so i end up at Oodnadatta looking for help . I ask if the mechanis is on duty and was told he was having lunch , thats cool , so she walk overto tell Adam we will be waiting for him to finish , no issue here , we order something to eat and wait for mr adam. After he finishes , he just leaves withought talking to us , so we wait another 30 min. he finaly comes back , so we approach and ask him if he has a shocker for sale . He walks over and gets in his folk lift and picks up my cruiser from the tow ball about 6 feet in the air . I start having heart attacks . I ask nicely if he can lower it . No he walk off He gets to his rubish collection and pulls out a front shocker (second hand ) starts to tell us how shocker work . We explain that we undertsand all this we just want to buy a shocker . We ask if we can purchase his second hand shocket and can we pay him to put off the pin bolt and weld my eye to it . Another story starts. HE start to tell us about wheel articulation . I am still been polite at this stage . I explain that then is no shocker he can get me flown in that will do the job , thats its a custom set up. We walks off to make a call only to find out what we told him is the case. OK . can we now get you to weld it . He says , no go on with one shocker . Ok can we just buy it off you . Yes he says , you can have it for $100 dollars . We have now waisted 2.5 hrs just to buy a second hand shocker for $100 . We go see dess next door . Des can you weld this , no worries guys , we can do anything is the reply . Let me see if i have a shocker i can give you instead of getting exrtorted my d** head next door. He can find one and he still welds the shock that lasted my whole trip. What do I owe you Des ?? he is reluctant to say $20 . So we give him $40 and Adam( Crazy ) gives him a slab on my behalf . off we went . I only wish is that I can go back to Give Adam his shocker back so he can shove it up his claka

Cheers

Sounds like a great trip Eric.

I trust Adam behaved himself, not likely LOL.

See you soon.

Cheers,

Jim.

G'Day Eric,

Glad you had a good trip. I think you did well to contain yourself. Me, I would have walked over and put the vehicle down myself, anyone stupid enough to lift a vehicle this way should be shot - perhaps a message on the link below may put things into perspective.

He is running a business after all, and it is a place of work.

Let an independant body decide how dangerous the practice really was. Don't get mad, get even.

I have to agree with Eric, the guy was certainly a tool..
