Woody, I'll be in touch with some ideas that Newie and I concocted for a run.....

Hi Ainsley, Yes Ross and Tom would like to meet up. What time and where?

[middie]

G'day Woody - doesn't look good for Wiz and The Turnip Boy for Sunday. Just tried to kick Middie over and had lots of trouble. See cry for help in general forum.

I'll keep trying because I am really looking forward to catching up with you guys.

Wiz the Despondent

For the Sydney convoy... How does 10am sound at the shell service station on the corner of the pacific hwy and Coonanbarra road in Wahroonga?

Dragged Turnip Boy to Maccas for the start of the Wollombi Run, but he made such a fool of himself that we had to come home. The girls weren't too happy with him cavorting around the carpark and generally making a nuisance of himself. In fact Ainsley and Nikkers threatened to go home if The Turnip made the trip.

But the good news is . . . despite The Turnip's help . . . I got Middie up and running in the afternoon. Seems that No.2 spark plug was completely burned out, in fact the motor ran better with it removed that with it in. Go figure

Plugs were incredibly black so I guess I'm running way too rich. Have to make that my next job.

Great to see you guys had a great time, and the pictures looked great. Next time I'll put Turnip Boy on a leash to keep him under control.

Wiz the Disappointed

[smokey]

Well done Woody we also enjoyed the run and would like to thank the Sydney group for meeting up with us as they were such great company.It was a surprise to meet up with Terry and Pauline along the way and also Wiz and Turnipboy who i might add arrived mokeless and i am still not sure who stuffed things up but Turnipboy seems to have copped the blame!!
   Hope we can do another one soon

[appache]

Well done Woody - looks like you all had a great time. I'm quite looking forward to a combined run in Feb 

[Pete Power]

Looks like a good day.
I like the Red moke with the Black roof, looks very nice, not saying the others aren't but it's the only one with a close up shot. And Smokey's Red and white roof looks cool.

[HAG]

Good on ya guys....Great to see you all out enjoying yourselves
I love Smokeys  Anti- theft device attached to the front bar

[ainsley]

Well all my photo's are basically the same as woody's with the exception of one..

Ross, Tom and i were waiting for Nikkers to arrive when this pulled up behind her...



Fair to say that the driver with the trailer must have been pretty suprised to see one moke on the road, let alone another two waiting for it    A friendly wave and he was on his way..

Ainsley and Nikkers threatened to go home if The Turnip made the trip

I think your mistaken Middie... was definately Nicole only who made those threats 

I like the Red moke with the Black roof

Thanks PP. Does look good from a distance but when you look at it close up, like most mokes, it needs some work!


Great run, great roads and of course, great people 

Thanks guys. Special thanks obviously to Woody too. Hopefully see you all + more in February!

[Newie]

I love Smokeys  Anti- theft device attached to the front bar

Extremely important to remember to remove those devices from the bullbar before moving off though  . Probably a lot less chance of forgetting in a Moke than another vehicle though.


Newie
