Ok, here is the deal I have my best friend (a Jeeper also:)) coming down from Canada and I need to get him out for some Mud!!! It would be cool to get a few Aussie Jeeps out for the day. If you are working maybe its time to do the aussie tradition and have a sicky:o .
I will post time and meeting place when I know who is coming.

I would love to come on the 23rd Vic but I am on shift:( and seeing as I am a trainee with a possible fulltime job (permanent) on the horizon I'd better stay at work:wall:

Meeting other jeepers and making some great mates out on the trail is one thing but meeting up with international jeepers on the trails would have been awesome...... oh well

Top Ten requirements for this run:

1) a Jeep (that works)
2) you must NOT have a job or you MUST work nights
3) if you dont fit #2's criteria you MUST have paid sickleave
4) if you do fit #3's criteria you MUST pretend you are sick
5) if you fit any of the above criteria you probably are sick
6) if you fit none of the above criteria you probably dont care so just go anyways! (unless you are married)
7) if you ARE married and decide to go anyway then be prepared to spend some big bucks on her making up for a weekday run
8) if you are married and must borrow HER Jeep then be prepared to max the credit card - her way!
9) you must drink alcohol and lots of it! (nothing with pink umbrellas in it mind you)
10) no photos of any of us drinking (or after drinking) is permissible unless you are NOT married - only then can you take pictures (but of yourself only)

Roger that's sounds like a plan. We could meet up by the gas station by your house. Convoy Red (& pink;) )Betty, Tigger and Beaver Hunter (with Canadian beaver on board) that would look GOOD!!:)

What time? Traffic will be thick....

Ok that is the plan then, 0930 leave from the BP at your house, drive past the Caltex 1 block east on Great Eastern off Roe Hwy and pickup other Jeeps (at this stage no takers) and then late lunch at the Weir. Hope not too late I heard how long you guys spent on the powerlines on Sunday;) .

Oh and we didn't make the Pub. We got to the end of the Powerlines and they were doing burn offs and wouldn't move the fire trucks for us!!! So we had to drive the Powerlines all the way back. No beer brake........well I didn't really miss it as i was having a bad day (having a head cold:( )
But i will be better by Saturday, oh yes i will:)
