Hey guys, any swaggers intending to come to the Melbourne 4x4 show this weekend? I would love to bump into a few swaggers. As most of you know, I'm at Leisure Matters, site O24. We are directly across from the xxxx bar and angels :-D

Cheers

Hi Big Nath, I'll be there tomorrow and possibly Sunday afternoon.
My Jeep is part of the Uneek 4x4 display next to the action arena.
Look forward to saying Hi.

It's OK Dave, I'll tell Him if asked..........

Correct, not only is my 4WD on display at the show, but it made a debut on national TV on the weather segment this morning.(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/23/yvemaru8.jpg)

great to meet you Big Nath.

Dave,
I agree with Nath, if it was 28degrees warm and sunny, the XXXX girls would look good in bikini's.
As opposed to their fully clothed and coats in 8degrees, cloudy and windy.

Nice to meet Big Nath & Swannie as well as the Earth guys at the Leisure Matters stand. Picked up a two piece spade, supported the independent mags by renewing subscriptions to Pat's and Carlisle's publications and bought some dampers and lemon myrtle tea.

Very quiet in the fishing area but wall-to-wall in the 4wd main area. Worth the $15 for a wander around. Wasn't shopping for anything big so can't comment on prices.

parking at the racecourse was $5 per vehicle and included a shuttle bus to and from the gate.

Post by: Brumbypt on August 24, 2013, 09:01:08 PM
bugger that then, if i cant park outside the gate i dont go..

4 years ago, i parked right outside of the gate where u drive in and around to the left..

dunno what gate number..

i have a bit of a disability and going to those shows just aggravates it..

that on top of driving down and back home again
 

wish i could go, but also spent too much money building trailers this year.

turns out i could have gotten free tickets too, someone on my local buy sell group was giveing a set away.

but have gone onto new pain meds,  after 18 years of taking the other, bad timing..

also have spent too much $$ buying bits for my offroad trailer builds.. but excuses aside, i still could have and should have gone for a look. and a day out.

ohh well..
