G'day,  just wondering if the northside blokes are meeting anywhere or which way use are going? I get lost easy .

Is that your REAL shopping list Darran?? Or just the "wishlist"  :drinks:

I put a link in Ken to Glenns place. Its literally 4 mins down the road from where you came to my place last year. You can always come here first if thats easier.

Was thinking about a couple of jobs I really should do on the day. One will be to replace the bearings in the Suzuki wheel, and maybe, give the carbs a cleanout. Will be fun either way  :good2:

I'm going to trailer down one of the FJ's....... and before you all start.
It's time for one of the FJ to leave the nest.
A mate of LB's is looking to buy it .
Fingers crossed I might be able to tick off an item on the wish list.

You can follow me down if you like Ken .....
Surely there has to be someone else ridding down from up this way?

Good one Darran, will do, can fine tune it over the coming fortnight,

What does your nest leaving FJ need doing?

Well thought I would add this here. Heres Version 2 of my shortened dog bones, much nicer job than the ones I made. Although I must admit I didn't make these, a mate had his apprentice do them up for me out of 6mm stainless. I'll fit these at the Manshed Day, so if anyone wants my prototypes that are on the FJ now, (same size), they are yours.   :good2:

On the day I will probably just do valve cover grommets.
LB's mate lives just round the corner from Glens .
So hopefully he pays me and takes it home.

Mate, that`s a shame. I was look`n for someone ta hold down me bit on the side that day. Together, we`d be great on lefthanders!  (Though more air is good on them pesky high type gutters!)

...I`m hoping to improve her slack braking ability at Glenn`s.

Mate, cheap flights to Brissie at the moment ($39 Jetstar). I grabbed one from the Gold coast to Sydney for a nephew`s birthday mid October.
The Brissie Airport is on route and halfway to Glenn`s shed.

Shame Ken can`t make it. I was trying to make some use of that problem he`s got!  :mocking:
