Hi All, got home a couple of hours ago..........didn't leave Coffs until about 2pm (when the rain stopped)........got a little wet between Grafton and Ballina but mostly dry. Drove the last two hours in the dark following my new Rhino Buggy home on the trailer.....all of a sudden my shed is looking very small!!!!! Thanks to Darren, Mez, Simon for your assistance in preparation for the event..........wouldn't have been possible with out you. Thanks to Dragon too, for not toarching my reek when it broke down for the 3rd and 4th time in one day.........(didn't skip a beat on the way home, amazing what a new battery can do) A BIG thanks to the people whom have provided positive feedback, as we are not "event managers" we are simply reek enthusiest doing the best we can. See you guys on the forum and looking forward to seeing you again in Mildura........... Regards Shonko Now where the hell is Bart and Coola-Coola..........(hic!)

Hi All The ever reliable Landcruiser ( who wants a reek) arrived home in Vic at lunch time today, 2904 Km trouble free! I have never done that in a rotary powered VW. Thats enough complaining. I had a great week end thanks to Darren Shaun and their behind the scene helpers, on site coffee, great idea. A lot of new things to mention -- Space age gadjets, mini eureka, mid mount motor + lots more. If you could not get there you certainly missed out. Roll on next year, how will the TROOPY go on a go-cart track???
Thanks to all Morris

Hi Morris, Diane's still ready to drag landcruiser's any time you're ready. She will even switch to LPG to make it a little more even. Rock

Hey all, glad to hear the weekend was a success and you all had fun.. Can't wait to hear some of the stories....
Sorry we couldn't be there, just wasn't an option for us unfortunately this year. With all going well, and I sincerely hope it does, we will be at next year's meet with bells on and both cars better than ever.....
Rick if you are reading this, you too. I will get the truck next year !!!!!!!
Both of our Reeks are out and proud for this summer season of driving around and showing off in the Adelaide Hills....can't wait to see the Adelaide crowd around the place.
Much love and best wishes to all of you....
REEK ON

Ok, so I've finally logged on. lol
When I got home and turned on the computer the transfer the photos from my camera to the computer, the computers power supply died in the arse. Ah well, what's an extra hundred or so $$ expense for October. lol Only got it back late this afternoon. Photo's will come, just slowly as I'm on the arse end of broadband connection.
Was a ball of fun, met new people and saw new 'reeks. Andrew's mini 'reek was a blast. Had fun crusing around Coffs, and for once I didn't get too badly sun burned. My neck was the worst, and even that looked worse than it really way.
Weather wise it was great, aside from the rain on sunday evening/monday as previously mentioned. On the Sunday evening, I only put in the side windows with the screws and electrical tape, as I was hoping for fair weather on monday for the trip home. Wasn't to be, only a slight leak during the night. So I fitted the side windows properly with the rubber strip for the trip home. It was the first real test of side windows during rain, and overall they held up amazingly well.
I'll be slowly putting up the photos and videos I took over the next week or so. Just over 100 photos and a handful of short videos.
