It would appear that Mike has made some secret changes. Safari on my mac is now all good! Can't see the reason for everything being in monster type tho...

What's with the new format? What was wrong with the old format? Why is it in huge type? Is everyone getting older? On my mac in Safari the rh side is chopped off, ok in Firefox though. Yikes again.

I've uploaded a few pics from the Winch Challenge m go to 'Trip Photos', and you'll see the photo album there. If anyone has any good quality pics that would be suitable please email them to me at audioman at xtra.co.nz (replace at with @). Send the large original file please , with a description ...

Hi Mike, looks like a good trip! Our club has a trip to Macetown next Sunday, thought I'd take a look and see what the river looked like this afternoon. 6" of ice on the first river crossing, so goodness knows what it's like further up the river. We've had monster frosts in Arrowtown all the past ...

The Skippers trip is very worthwhile, if you are going past the Schoolhouse into Bullendale, make sure you're with someone else, and both have recovery gear.

Re Macetown: The river is very low at the moment, there's been bugger all rain here for ages, but beware - the low river levels have revealed some rather deep goolies that you would normally keep clear of, towed a Surf out last Fri night, and there have been a few vehicles drowned recently. Get out ...

Great vid! That's my Safari stuck at the very end. A log from hell decided to leap upwards from the depth of the creek and severely embed itself in the floor pan. Couldn't go forward, couldn't go backwards, had to attack it with a machete to remove. More pics of the trip at m click on the 'Eyre ...

do we have to have 9 million boring photos? You are most welcome Mr Portugal, but please edit your pics, we don't want all the crap, just sort out all the good ones. And some more pics of the chicks would be really good. And some more pics of the chicks would be really good. And some more pics of ...

for F##ks sake, I wore my scrolling mouse out looking for a good pic

Righto then, I can't understand the procedure for adding pics to posts.

What's with all the URL stuff, other sites just get you to go to the appropiate place on your computer, and click upload.
And it works.
Why do I have to be a Brain Surgeon for this site?

Well, finally got my snorkel fitted, and thanks to all for your comments and suggestions. Took probably about 4 hours, but most of that was fitting and unfitting multiple times to check that I could finally fit it properly once the sealant had been gobbed on. Had to open up a few mounting holes here ...

Thanks Mudbum and Elmo for your replies. MB - no I'm not in ChCh, I'm in Queenstown. [i]I knew it, I knew it,I knew it - some one would reply with a 'buy a Safari' [/i] well I'm from down south and we consider our dollars spent with a great deal of caution. I refuse to pay another $100 approx for a ...

Thanks Mudbum for your reply. I've had a closer look now, and you are right about the template. It would appear the large 76mm hole is in the correct place (is that right)?. But the mounting points don't match those on the snorkel. Not a major, but very slack on Airflow's part. The most difficult ...

Finally, got myself a SWB Safari.

Bought a Airflow Snorkel, is there any advice to heed from those who have fitted one to their Safari before I make a complete jock up of the job?

Had a quick look at the instructions, it appears that the guard has to come off first.
