Get used to it - weather is not looking good :thumbsdown:
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

At least the after party weather's not real bad :half:

It's always warm and dry inside a pub mate :thumbsup:

I hope Roger isn’t relying on me for a spare wiper motor again

Look forward to reading & seeing pics of the journey West. Have you packed a spare wiring loom and that roof cut for EK Mart?

Still no petrol at Mundrabilla according to one of the Nationals attendees who went through there today- so a stop for fuel at Madura is almost a necessity - just don't make it an overnight stop if you can help it ....... :sick:

Wiring loom no. Roof cut, yes. Other spares, wire, terminals, tape. Not that I anticipate any issues, touch wood. Woody cruise control close at hand for that.

Thanks Harv.

Coming through Esperance Blacky. After party, then Perth CEVA and fly home.

Far too much very strong beer tonight. Bed spins incoming.

Should have enough fuel on board to get from Penong to Norseman.

Did I misunderstand the topic? I clicked to see who was being labelled the Westward Ho. Instead I ended up with a picture showing outdoor furniture, overlooking a street.
