Trackabout to reopen after Easter - with new owners
« on: April 01, 2012, 06:53:53 AM »
Hi All

I just paid a visit to Trackabouts website www.trackabout.com.au and it appears that the business has been sold and will be operating again after easter. According to the website, the new owners are Rob and Kym Adams.

Cheers Grant

That is terrific news. Let's hope they join in here, as JT did and continues to do.

Edit:
Just sent them a warm welcome and congratulations. Also mentioned that the website has a trojan on it, still.

Can someone post what the trojan is and what AV product you're using? I block flash so I'm not seeing it.

Thanks, could be a false positive, look like the usual threat vector is an email message...

It's possible. I recall others reporting an issue some months back.

i read this today my self and was actually quite shocked. when i got my camper off good old johny august last year he seemed keen to stay in there for a while yet. but i guess all good things must come to an end.
as long as the new owners continue to produce the quality jt had going i dont see any issues. might have to get onto them later on actually to make up a couple of closed in walls for the annex.
