G'day Joff
The market moving quiet good at the moment, keeping busy with a couple of new models.
Hows the job treating you?
Anyway what are you up to with the buzz box?
Did your camper drop a spare looks like it had a sh##

haha! Good to hear about the business. my job is ok but I want back on the road!! got any jobs testing campers?

As for the Rav, the camper is almost out of rego so I needed to take it for a pink slip but the cruiser was unavailable so i had to tow it with Sonja's Rav.. It looked so wrong I thought I'd put a pic up.. :cheers: I reckon it was lucky the fridge and utility boxes were off the draw bar or the Rav would have definitely been on the bump stops

The tyre behind it is a 15" spare off the Patrol POS that I just took up the Cape. But it does look like camper poo don't it  ;D
