Greg, if I go sunday, I'll know saturday night, so I'll post up...
I just hate crowds.

Give me a chance to see how things handle the rain.

Bruce (Lost) if you are still interested in a jockey wheel after you've been to the show give me a hoy as I have a new ALKO power wheel jockey wheel with a nuematic tyre going at a reasonable price.

I'm coming over from Adelaide to be there on Sunday - my new Aussie Swag is on display there and I get to take it home when the show ends. YAY!!
I'd be happy to catch up with a few of you Vics if you are keen. I estimate I won't get there until around 10.30am.

Sounds good John. Jump on the forum tomorrow night and we can all confirm attendence or not and a meeting point.
Greg

Okay, just got a leave pass for a couple of hours on Sunday. Little one has a play date and swmbo will probably go to gym woohoo. Will confirm tomorrow night.

No, I dont want to take her to the big smoke yet, she's still a bit gun shy, you have to consider she came from the country. :'(
-
If any of you go please have a robust chat with the guys on the BFG stand and ask why they are exhibiting at the show considering they can't supply any tyres for months!

Been there and now I'm home, met up with John and his new CT. Shes a real work of art. Aslo met up with Carlisle and hs crew and was shouted a coffee. Not intending to spend any money, I ended up buying 5 BFG KM2s which they had available. My first mod.

Hey Wyno is that your new tug in your avatar :laugh:
-
I wish, thats an old one we had a few years ago. Some young buck probably has it now.
-
Well I had a great time at the show. It is sooooo much bigger than anything Adelaide can put on - so many more exhibitors, huge pavillions, and I also got to see Flemington which I have only seen on tv every November for the past 40 years!!
I also got to meet Wyno (great catching up with you :cheers: :cheers: ), and of course I picked up my camper - pics coming when I get it back home!!
-
I had to take kids to the skate park at Cranny... some of them 12yr olds are insane..
But bargain at $8 for 1/2 a day..

G'day all, i had a solid day there on Friday. Reasnoble crowd numbers i thought, wouldnt like to have been there when busy! I havnt been for a few years, last time was when it was at Geoff's shed. I thought there was more "smaller" stuff previously? This time round it was lots of big $ stuff. I did manage to get a few bargain books/guides and maps though, so i feel like i had a bargain. Certainly had to know your prices on a few other things though.
