Dixie and I will be at the Thommos gate at 8.45 sat morning and will be heading up at 9am. (sharp) Callum is going to be joining us, the more the merrier!!

The intention is to head straight to the x-roads, attempt the top (though i still aint got muddies on) and have a nosy over the other side :shock:

Which side is the gate? I'm guessing the Te Aroha side? Might be keen, my trucks still in bits but I might be able to twist someones rubber arm.

Are you planning to go right over?

I guess that would be my rubber arm you're talking about? :lol:

Sounds good. As long as my transfer case holds up to the drive down from Dorkland we'll be there.
Thats also asuming zuky can get a leave pass from the wife.... I thought you were skiing?

Where you staying at Denerau? I was at Sheraton in March. Bloody great time with the staff. The activities bure staff saw a fair bit of vodka and bourbon.... bloody white man went and got them all silly on the spirits.

theres a couple of new hotels finished by now, as well as the marina area being developed, gofl apartments are quite cool too. Sheraton fiji was having its pools and gounds done and sheraton royal was having a spa complex being done as well, should be all finished by now i imagine.

My Beloved has a timeshare thing with WorldMark, so we and another coulpe are using up her allocation.

Dont ask me where it is, the furtherst I been from these shores is Sydney, twice and Cairns once.

One day I shal tell all about the first trip to Sydney, flying along in a DC7C. YUP!! THAT long ago, I was a mere stripling of 16 or 17, cant remember that far back now!!!!

After my first meeting with Mike and Padero, I now vent my anger on all Toyota drivers, and it'll be that way until I seek revenge on them.
They know what I'm talking about :twisted:

I still have a soft spot for the Wranglers, as long as it has its hard top on with big muds, lifted etc etc

xj · Post by xj » Thu Aug 24, 2006 9:18 pm

Well have fun mate, and for gods sake dont fall for the hawkers in nadi, theyll have ur undies if you give em a chance. and stay close to ur missus, they will pressure her into buying rather than you.

ask for a young fulla named Peter ("Peter - the sweetest saint" he refers to himself as) beside the one set of traffic lights by the supermarket, he will look after ya. He's slick, but a decent kinda young fella, looked after us good.

Jeezus.... If they want MY undies, they are welcome to em, sort of reminds me that I am starting to get funny looks when down Wangas way, Wonder if it's time yet to change them? Nah, cant be!!

As fer pressuring The Siwsan, bring them ONNN!!! and welcome, suckers, she will sell their own gear back to them and make them glad they did it!

Well, after twisting my rubber arm, zuky has now pulled out to work on his truck.
What this really means is that he wants ME to come round and help fix his truck, while he supervises / fills the recycling bin. :lol:

So have fun tomorrow guys, and hopefully we'll see you at Vandy road next weekend.
