Now that is a great idea.
Now I have a vision of my beer carrier on it as well!

Mate, that was my first vision i had when i saw that master piece of a beach chair and just knew from your ''occupation'' that post was coming @hamish22

What if you motorised the chair then make up a hitch for the ''beer carrier'' to towed along. Food for thought. Pace.

Spent a busy weekend in the manshed building a @Grano n play style understorage box which is almost ready to be mounted.
Then got busy stripping one of the youingblokes old wheelchairs and refitting it with new axles and custom wheels to make a beach wheelchair.

Never let anything stop you I say!

Great idea. Nice work @hamish22 Are you going to patent the idea?

Well, to be truthfully honest, my real occupation sort of only allows me to have a beer on the weekend so maybe I should change that bit to occasional beerdrinker!:)

I have seen a motorised one, but it was professionally built with awd! I don't think I'm that good!:o

Went to the footy last night to watch my Bombers beat Carlton in a thriller. Even if we lose all our points we still be Carlton twice. :):):)

Had an awesome day yesterday 4 wheeling around Yalwal (near Nowra) with @relgate and @expanda plus a few more.

I love it when a last minute idea comes together so well. Exploring abandoned gold mines, great lookouts, great weather, great lunch, great bunch of people and most of all great fun 4wding.

Powerlines Track was a highlight, i now have two slightly bent side steps.

Recommend the area to anyone looking to kill a day (and maybe a 4wd).

This was our lunch spot
