Willem,
Skippy is almost on the money mate.
All the corrugations you've done has caused a wire to either come loose or break, either way, its making contact and blowing your fuse. Id guess by ur description that its very close to the connectors as every time u strap it down...its allowing the wire to stay in contact. Its definately NOT a common thing on the GQ's mate. I dont have to tell you they are one very tuff truck.

Oh and im fine ty for asking...lol

Angelo...... Son....where ya bin???

Good to hear you are still around.

Yeah maybe you are right. Never thought of those corrugations and bumps across the spinifex.

I'm fine 2 ty....lol

Mate, im still hangin in there.
My back is on the mend and im starting to build my confidence again. My GQ is doin fine too, shes a great car, i just love it to death. Celebrated its 250,000 kms birthday last week, she got some nice gifts too....lol.

I'm of to Italy for a month soon, want to go check out where my family grew up and sus out the mafia connections they had, if I survive the intrusion, ill be back to start my 4wding again. Oh and if all goes to plan....ill be driving a Ferrari F40 for a day, thats if my uncle believes its really me. After all, he hasn't seen me for 40 years.

You take care my friend. Stay safe and hopefully we shall catch up one day.

Ange

Thanks Pete

Will see what I can do.

Dead right Davoe. Years ago, I had a problem with a 47series Troopie out the back of nowhere - occasionally it wouldn't start. So I drove it from Innamincka to Adl without turning off the motor. Took a couple of auto electricians back home to find the intermittent fault was a fusible link that was hanging by a thread. I carry fusible links as spares these days.

Cheers

Who said anything about not drinking?

AHHHHH THE LEOPARD HAS CHANGED ITS SPOTS, SO YOU ENJOY ONE DRINK WHICH TAKES YOU TO OBLIVION, DONT GET CAUGHT WITH THAT BOTTLE OF RED DRIVING THROUGH A DRY AREA IN QLD,IM SURE YOU WOULD HATE TO BE CALLED A BIGGOT BECAUSE YOU COULDNT UNDERSTAND THE WRITTEN LANGUGE THAT WAS PUT IN FRONT OF YOU, THE SIGNS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ARE BIG ENOUGH FOR THE POOREST OF READERS TO UNDERSTAND. THE BIGGOT. COL!!!!

Congratulations

You have gone to the Top of my IDIOT LIST

Oh yes, and Bigot only has on G

Cheers

Hi William, i now feel very honoured to be on two of your name calling lists. Once again you have shown a very poor understanding of the written language posted by travellers the same as yourself that post an opionion, which you dont agree with, so then turn to name calling, ( very immature through my eyes ). You called me a Bigot without any understanding about what my beliefs, and what i have seen and witnessed with the natives of our great country. I live on the tablelands of North QLD and will starting my travells in two weeks heading in your direction, i am in a 92 champaine colured patrol with a trackshack camper in tow hopefully we cross paths and can sit at the fire and have a coldy. One last comment if you whish to bag some one about their spelling, make sure your back yard is clean as the last time i looked ONE has an E after the N. Happy camping Col

I have been told I am immature......maybe, when I grow up one day, I will come up to your measure.

Well mate, you just came in on the Bigot post by accident as I was winding Sandman up. Bigot isn't so bad after all, if you look up the meaning of it.

Maybe I was being a tad harsh but it was only a comment on what you purported to stand for.

I have been called worse things on this forum.

ONE spelt ON is a typo. Bigot spelt Biggot twice is a spelling mistake as is champaine. Colured is a typo. You could always use spellcheck at the bottom of the page.

Anyway, you carry on with this diatribe by YELLING at me and so I continue with the windup.

I actually have three private lists of people whom I categorise in order of merit
1.The R Soul list
2.The Richard Cranium List
3.The Ordinary Idiot List

So you have a way to go....lol

Nevertheless, you are welcome to drop me a note through my website below if you pass by this way, and we can have a beer together. Maybe then you could redeem yourself.....lol

Cheers

Hi William,yes i have an understanding of bigot and thats why i cant understand why Sandmans and my opion on the subject was so hammered by your narrow minded veiw, both Sandman and myself had the same veiw that we felt thtat tourists to the north should be policed a bit more liberally than our natives as the only problem that tourists pose in the Nth are ( fom a truckies point of veiw ) road blocks that have no consideration for working people on the road. I have worked with the locals in some of the harshest places in Oz ie great sandy, and the tanami deserts. I helped open up the road from Rabbit Flat to Balgo mission 25 yrs ago before the mines moved in. If you look on your map you will see sysmic lines in the desert, and if you can remember a couple of Melbourne teenagers got lost from a vast station in WA by driving into the desert in a 720 nissan with no front shaft, we found them not a nice sight. So what i am saying to you is dont judge people because they enjoy sitting at a fire enjoying a cold beer having a chat and happy they are away from the hassels of city life. The QLD Govt has got it right about boose restrictions for the locals, but as for travelling from a to c and not being able to take drinks through b this has to be adressed, as its detromental for a lot of communitties that depend on tourists ,fisherman.

Hi Col

I am afraid it is your view which is narrowminded.

All I implied was that it was a sad day when alcohol ruled your lives that much.

Where you have been and what you have done is of no consequence to the argument or viewpoint.

The viewpoint of the effects alcohol bans has on this or that industry, is outweighed by terrible curse which has befallen the indigenes in alcohol abuse.

Overall the 'authorities' come up with a plan of management which need to be adhered to and if you cannot do thet then it is a sad day.....thats all I said.

We can go on arguing about this for ever, serving little purpose, but as this is an open forum, I do have a right to express my opinion if I so wish. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't

BTW my name is Willem and not William.

Cheers
