perth 4x4 show?

Was a pleasant 4hr walk. Some new stuff, lot of the old. The Extreme 4WD demo was good yesterday by all accounts, I couldn't be bothered. The Perth 4x4 site has some of the photos of the carnage.
Crowds yesterday weren't too bad so you could actually talk to the staff.

Pretty much more of the same. Some retailers wouldn't budge off RRP while others were giving good show discounts. I found the 4X4 retailers were holding RRP while the generic Repco/Anaconda/Rays etc... had some real bargains but YMMV.

The actual displays of vans / trailers / vehicles seemed the same, perhaps a bit less "high profile" given the current financial situation and the potential of less cashed up buyers.

Ditto above just got back, noticable drop in prices right across the board,i.e. air compressor 72 Lt a minute for $120.00 the only thing thats gone up AGAIN the price of food, the stuffed potato is now $11.00 thats outrageous for a spud even if it has got cheese on it !!! but yes lower crowds and same old same old,

Enjoyed my afternoon there!

Argued Engel Versus Waeco with the fridge guys and kicked the landrover salesman in the shins (as one does) for the oil leaks on landrovers. (90% of landrovers built are still on the road today - the rest diddn;t break down and actually made it home! LOL

Seriosuly it wasn't a bad day out - musta walked 5 hours anc hecked out LOTS of offroad campers etc.

Had a good look at twin wheel carriers from various makers.
Thought it was a worthwhile day out!
Seemed to be a lotta rednecks there - so me bein one, I fitted right in with the crowd!

Didn't think much of the Bikini fashion parade! (Yeah coz there wasn't one)! ;o(

Cheers!

Those Slide on Campers caught my eye. Can get expensive though. :((

i was there saturday raising some funds for native wildlife (birds of prey) in particular and the plight of the wte with vehicles and your donations this year were great thaank you , plemty of people , some of the gear on sale could have been a little cheaper tho, but wa is booming at the moment and i suppose retalers are just cashing in

Wandering around getting prices on various things.
Got quoted $329 for a 80lt Engel fridge slide said OK be back
later, Went back and got it for $299.
Could have walked out with a Coronal pop top off roader for 22k plus my Goldstream camper.
Then went to the travel expo and spent my cash on a trip
London.
But apart from that I feel it was much the same as last year
with food and admission charges going up maybe that's why
crowds are down.
