Hi Andrew and Jen the weekend is the one after Melbourne cup in November 9/10/11 th that would be and we would love to have you guys up there. The weekend in a few weeks time is just to scope out the tracks. Imogen is arranging this one and its early August I think

Thanks Bonz
I will keep a lookout for the Nov one
If the scoping one had been in the next couple of weeks, I would have dropped in as I will lilkely be in the area
Cheers
Andrew

I will let the organiser (Imogen) know, she would be thrilled to have you there

Lwettuce snow when Blaze, will pop up if I can and say gday

No probs mate, Will let you know the dates, once confirmed.

Cheers

I replaced mine but if you can get a brand new one for $7000 do it. The car will be worth at least $15k less with a blowed engine. I wanted to stay with the stuff thats expected under the hood and wanted a diesel.

I looked at a chev, but theyre a slug, theres a turbo.supercharged unit that goes straight in but I didnt have a lazy $32000 laying about. Marks will put a gen3 in it thats very tempting, but not a diesel.
Looked at a Tojo 4500V8 but it dwont fit without major mods and lots of cutting so went with the 3l. Mine is a series IV and its a much better donk than the original.

My new engine was around 11k plus fitting.

You can go with a 4.2 Nissan, it slips in nicely, and Rohan Canavan does a great job at fitting them.

Thank you very much, Bonz. Im very much torn what to do with it. Great truck, worst engine (the 3.0) What a shame nissan stuffed up what could have been one of the worlds best 4wds

Yep, that said I am very happy with the new engine, ts what the series 1 should have been and now wouold be four generations even better

He He, I was happy with the new engine too- while it was running! Now im looking for a 3rd engine! The more I read, the more it seems like russian ruolette with these things! I loved my patrol, but its getting a brand new engine, and then sold! I would never ever feel comfortable going thru the Kimberly, Oodnadatta etc again in a 3.0 patrol. I pulled the trigger once, and got lucky! never again! Cheers Kiwi

Gday
Just left of Avoca Victoria . We have a gathering there in November after the horse race. A little place called Glenpatric.

just north of Elmhurst, half way between Ararat and Avoca in centre Vic mate, come down and have a look.

Thanks guys

Once I got Google to forget about the mountains in Europe I found it.

Seems that it is a bit of a wine district. Or at least that is what the local council is promoting the area as. That's most likely why I do not know it. Not into wines myself nor is the boss. I prefer a good "cold one".

Sorry for the delay. I just installed Outlook for my wife and now trying to find out how to transfer all her data from Windows Live Messenger to Outlook. While I have been deeply in comms and computers (programmer and analyst) since 1970 I still have trouble with the need of todays programmers to make everything hard. I wish they would bugger off. Ah well. At least you gave me the chance to blow my stack and calm down.

I know that I do not need to say behave yourselves do I. Ha!! That's a joke.

Cheers

Gday PJR
There is a good country pub just downthe road ...

Thanks Muz. Can't drink much because of this stuff they plug into me. But I may tell them to get knotted one day and have a few. Definitely not wine though. Just the good old VB.

Gday
It'l be nice to meet you and have a chat. See you in November. My shout if thats ok..

No promises mate. We have a couple of club events that our names are on. Bit of track clearing with the Rangers and a couple of weekends with the grandkids in the hills.

Okay?
