Any DUers in Australia at the moment??? Fancy a cold one?
I know that RooBoy is an Aussie and there are a couple of others who I can't remember.....Sorry!

I'm currently in Alice Springs, awaiting MAJOR repairs to my van which broke down TWICE in Yulara, nr Uluru.........

Once we're back on the road, we'll be heading South to the Barossa Valley, then Adelaide and up the East Coast hitting the major cities some time before going back to the UK at the end of March.

If anyone is interested in maybe hooking up for a beer somewhere en route, please PM or email me and I'll see if we can make it happen.....provided you're not particularly weird or scary!

I can't make any promises about when/where/if we can meet, but drop me a note and I'll see what I can do.

Hope stuff is good with everyone! Happy New Year!

2. Cheers mate!
Nothing like having a garage do $250 work on your van, only for it to break down 40km from the garage and them claim it's a "different problem".....yeah right.

Had to drive 450km without 5th gear or reverse to find a relatively major town.......it's now going to be another $1000 for a new gearbox, in a van that only cost $2400 in the first place!

GAAAAAAAH!

On the plus side, I got to eat crocodile spring rolls and a camel pie for New Year!

Have a good one!

4. It's good to hear from you, Pert_UK. Sorry to hear of your van problems.
But, at least it isn't snowing there, is it?

Have a safe journey home!

:toast:

5. Broken down in Alice Springs?
You wouldn't happen to be a transvestite performer, would you, Pert? This all sounds so eerily familiar...
