ah yes, must be newly retired, the rest of us head north when it's time for that sort of stuff.
The What Did You Do On The Weekend Thread!!
- Thread starter cruza driver
- Start date
My weekend started at 12.15pm so I decided to see if I could take my Mickey Mouse ears off.
Baby steps and panic stations when I start
Hmmmm, not too bad. Got it in pieces
Put the original, never been used mirrors back on
Whoo hoo!!! Did it without breaking/ losing anything!!!!
And it all works! Phew
If car yard doesn't notice, then you will see a set of clearviews for a patrol (gu 8 I think -2012 model) in the for sale section in the next week or 2.
Just got to clean the car so it matches the shiney new mirrors now.

Damn straight!!
Any monkey can do it, it's just whether you want to be a monkey or not. (Easier than cornicing, rendering and flushing that's for sure!)
Did a trip to the Gold Coast caravan show today. Lots of caravans and campers but not tempted. I went with a mate who is almost convinced he needs to replace his 2003 Royal Flair with a Retreat Fraser. Quite a nice van but $76K (Show special $72K) but he reckons he can't afford to buy until the share market goes up again. He will have to replace his 2005 Patrol as well due to low tow capacity.
I just spent $20 for a pair of stainless awning roller clips ($25 on the web) so I got off light.
I did see this spare mount on the rear of a Crusader.

interesting, looks neat thats for sure
No fun there.........................Go to show and no trinkets other than some clips brought home ???......I'm amazed.
Hang on, at the Melb Show all I came away with was a 12v socket for $10, lots of bling but no gold.
Saturday I recall is a weekend, 3 trips to trip in old Ute, big tray, tomorrow may add 2 more tip runs, shed is looking very roomy...............bloke can sure collect some stuff over the years................I hope Big Mal doesn't require a special mod as I've probably dropped the bits off at the tip.
Another ute load to the tip, my nuts, bolts and screw collection ( 3 plaster buckets loads ) gone to be recycled, shed is just a shell and looking really clean, 23 yrs of "might need that "gone, along with about another 10 yrs stuff that was brought in from the old place........damn I have been savage, just thought if I want something I will just have to go and buy it, a novel approach I thought....no more digging around the place to find the bits needed................mind you my grey water tank which cost me something like $60 would now cost me about $200, tough.
Bloke at tip just waves me through, I'm a regular, must think I have a tip .....lol.

Bit boring. Started writing an aerodrome management plan.
And went to the Wellington NSW Vintage Fair. @Drover if you lived anywhere near here you could've made a fortune hocking your buckets of junk. Other people did!

Grandson's 5th birthday with a Lego and super heroes theme so the old guy had to play Spiderman.
The kids all looked great but no pics without parent's permission. He asked 6 girls and 2 boys, don't know where he gets that from.
