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

Thats great news  :cup:

On a side note -  As I was reading the introduction by the new owners, I got an alarm for blocked virus attack???
has anyone else had this?

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.

Sounds like the new owners are in it for the right reasons and will keep the Trackabout tradition alive :cup:

It's great to learn that a fine Australian product will continue.  :cheers:
Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water.

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.

Congrats and best wishes to Rob and Kym!
All the best to JT and family for the future!
As good a happy ending as ever; especially now there's hope for us Trackabout-less wannabe's (I'll get one, one day... ;D)
:cheers:

Excellent news.. Good luck to the new owners and hopefully JT can enjoy the beer.

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.
