good luck mate ill have some salami when you come back haha

Well the plan is to clean out the Prado after spilling 2L of orange juice in it while at the winch challenge, lucky no carpet.
Gee that stuff stinks after a few days....No ants yet.
Then off to the Farm on Sunday for a few hours to help Monstr (Steve) and the others tidy up a bit after the winch challenge. I think we have a few stray bits of bunting to collect, drains to check and clear and ground anchor divots to put back.

YAY Skid about time you got another toy .. Well done mate

Installed new PRS radio (c/- Jerry) replaced rear driveshaft with older model one without rubber donut, replaced front exhaust Y with straight pipes (no cats). Thank Pedro for help.

Very Cool, 350 Chev, Coiled, Simex tires, light - looks like it will be heaps of fun!

I'm looking forward to hearing more about it and seeing more pic's (of course )

Well I didn't do all that much.

On Saturday I found a pool of coolant on the floor in the Lada. Took the centre console apart, and found where it was leaking. Freakin' hard to get to, difflock and high/low knobs kept punching me in the ribs

Yesterday I went on a Daimler SP250 Dart car club run (unfortunately not in my Dad's Dart ). 'Twas pretty good. testing the capacity of the little Hobsonville cafe (it was the farmers market on the same day)

Then I bought some extra pipes and joins for the Lada heater hoses, so it isn't kinked like it was before.

I'm really beginning to hate the previous owner!

was loads of mud great w/e tried to upload pics but never works for me so gave up
