Time to start putting your names up for the clean-up next Sunday. It is the 2nd last clean-up for 07, so why miss out over Christmas/New Year for some runs at Menai, anyway, don't you want to try out any new toys that Santa might leave for you at Christmas :mrgreen: . Please post up by Thursday 25th if you are coming.
P.S. If there is a "Total Fire Ban" in place, the clean-up will be automatically cancelled :cry:

Handheld or other??

Steve F

25-10-07, 01:15 PM

I'd like to go but am doing a reccie up around Harrington and Port Macquarie for some weekend trips or long weekend trips this summer :)

Sounds like it'll be a good one if the weather clears today.

Cheers
Steve

So you will be calling in on CNP on the way past???

Probably not as I'm going up on Friday night (With Cpage66), but hey, If anyone needs a tow back to Sydney afterwards give us a call ;)

Cheers

I really wouldn't blow a lot of money on a hand held and you can get models on the inexpensive side really easily. Drop an expensive one in a puddle or on the trail and you'll kick yourself...
I'd recommend an inexpensive handheld (Jaycar,Autobarn,Supercheap,Big W etc...etc...) and save the bucks for a good remote head unit for the Jeep...

25-10-07, 04:53 PM

Download a form and take it along with your cash and you can join at Menai, I'm sure Steve will take it. Maybe too late to get your name on the list now though as we need to give it to the organisers in advance.

Cheers
Steve

DO IT DO IT :twisted: one of us one of us :twisted:

DVL12H

27-10-07, 09:09 PM

Yeah I'd be able to join there, but thats it as I didn't give them enough time to get my rego on the list.... and I don't have proper recovery points yet :(

so I guess I'll be seeing you guys at the Moe-vember Meeting!

Wolfe

29-10-07, 07:39 AM

Great day everyone! 8) thanks Steve. :D Good to see lots of new faces as well as some old ones. For those with carnage :cry: we salute you.
Vince showed where a stocker can go and really pushed the envelope, with lots of support from nads. Good to see mr and mrs roo and tin lids taking some great lines on suzuki hill. very radical driving angles by AJ with his 'short cut' down '80 series'. Hopefully lots of photos to come, although I took my camera, I forgot to shoot off any :roll: . Hopefully some one else did. The 'father and son team' quietly but expertly drove every line possible with great style and finnesse. Lets hope this new record attendence marks a renewed vigour in the Club and sets the tone for the upcoming year. Thanks everyone!!! Could someone post pics please :lol:

29-10-07, 12:00 PM

a HUGE thank you to everyone for a great day out. i had an amazing time and was supprised how well my stocker went. i have now made up my mind on suspension so thanks everyone your now going to cost me a forturne haha :D . it was a great turn out from the club and good to see a wide variety of jeeps. i have to mention a big thanks to Steve and Wolfe for helping me pick my lines and towing me out when i was stuck. :evil: this was my first trip to Meani and wont be that last i really enjoyed myself boys. i took heaps of photos so when i work out how to post them up i will. THANKS EVERYONE :D

29-10-07, 03:53 PM

Ditto guys,

Was a great day out and good to finally get the chance to have a wheel out at Menai, Also to get a chance to meet some more dudes and dudettes that enjoy Jeeping!
I think Dad had a great time too and he commented on how friendly everyone was, so a BIG thumbs up from him!!
Hopefully the drive home for those with damage wasn't too eventful and made it there safely ;)
The only down side to the day was the trouble me & dad got in off mum for getting home soo late :lol: We told her time flies when your having Fun :P

PS Vince get those photos up asap!!
