Haha. Some would find Dexter pushing the boundaries of what our suppressive fascist governmental regulators would like already, let alone with that caper

Oh, and a marriage......which meas a house etc......

pssst...I'm not rebuilding this 4.7 BLU...no more 4.7 Powertec at all

Money comes and goes, but sorry to hear about your marriage and house

We've had a ball with ours, and many adventures, great memories. All of us hanging out to go again, weekend after weekend.

Yeah, I saw that, and others. Not going the electric route for sure now.

I'm much into the whole battery deal, but too much for me at this stage, plus the the range is just a bit too restrictive here at the moment.

One day, I do hope to electrify something though.


I've kind of been cornered into a deadline to get it wheeling again. June 30. 2018.
Lots to do. I'm even working today, all day, doing fix out work on a house. Hoping it helps

Let's hope you have it ready for another Border Tk or Big Desert run next year 👍

Absolutely

Already looking forward to going back.

What time of the year are you thinking?

That's good she wants to go the next time. Maybe she'll get hooked

My two girls love camping adventures.

What time of year was that again? If it’s September I might be able to come down.

Although I’ll be there in March 2019 anyway so she might suggest we wait for then. .

Susi is keen as mustard, we’re going to spend a couple of nights camping on the GOR after the show.
