Goodbye old friend
« on: March 22, 2011, 11:58:56 AM »
Well "Sally Safari" has been taken away and is presently gliding it's way to her new home in Newcastle. So, we are now "CT-less" for approx. 12 weeks until our new baby arrives.

With Easter & some other trips on the cards, looks like we will be tenting it for a while.

Ben, I she arrives safely & hope you get as much fun out of the as Kate & I did and please keep posting pics of her from time to time.

It's a sad day when you lose a loved one. Good luck with the wait for the new baby.

Nice replacement, we saw these at the Gold Coast show and was very taken with the Quattro 4 berth, but  it's a lot of coin for a basic fitout, but love the concept 100%.

Lot of wet feet up there but seems like a good show, the Quattro is a bit big for just the 2 of us.

Mark,

I know how you feel, when you part with a Trackabout. I got a bit teary when I dropped "Big Bertha" off to her new owners yesterday in Geraldton (and it was only a demo trailer)!

Can't wait to see pics of your setup!
