Geez, hitting below the belt. I was thinking of adding my name to the list again as I enjoyed the trip last year - but with comments like that I better stay at home



I had hoped with the current job situation that I might have been walking away from my current job with a big fat redundancy cheque which would have covered at least a front locker and a few other bits and pieces, but have taken the safe way through and accepted a new role in the organisation so the mods to the "soft" roader will have to wait.

I would look at a winch first then add the "bits and peices" later
