Hey Max,
Who are the Canadians? Anyone we know from MLU?
Looks like a great trip, wish I was going too.
Hi Swis Chris, you didn't mention this trip last time we met in Kradolf (Switzerland).
Anyway have a ball you guys and keep us posted.
Rick.

Don't worry Howard Ganmain might have a representative coming along on the trip.

Kathy will not be the only cook on the trip Swiss Chris will be having his turn, with a bit of luck we might have a vietnam veteran for a chef.

There will definitely be no budgie smugglers out in public, far too much information for some.

Rick as far as we know none of the six canadians are on MLU, just some friends of ours.

Tim we plan to visit your place for rides, we will ring when we get close, or you can meet us in the Sunset National Park. This will be on our way home about the middle of June.

GT is here tonight and has been shorn, will be putting him to work this week, if we don't get side tracked.

Max

What/Who could possible side track GT?

Say hi to my mum and dad as you cross big red. They head off in the morning for a run up the oodnadatta track, a flight over lake Ayre then into Alice before crossing the Simpson. I did offer them the CGT but mum felt the Nissan Patrol was more her thing.

These pictures are of the blitz being serviced and the accommodation in the back for the trip.


Max I am amazed, first a service before a trip, I always thought that during the initial restoration that you imbued the girlfriend with enough good Karma to last the next 50 years and that servicing would only disturb the spirits contained within.
Now come to think about it I do remember drive shaft nuts and bolts bouncing out the back on a trip and Brenda saying to me that on the back road from Nowra to Tarago every nut and bolt that could come loose had, and the girlfriend still made it home.
The accommodation looks a bit smick it must be for an international visitor?
And I have heard on the grapevine that Swiss Chris is not taking his F15 on this adventure because he did not want the dust blowin in the windows. Now Chris after travelling around the world to get here the least you can do is take the truck for a spin to unsettle the redbacks.

I wish I was going, but work, kids holidays to cover off and a lack of annual leave means I am stuck in the office looking forward to the tales, I am sure Chris will upload if he finds a phone signal.

Mark. How often is "smick" used in that context, over there? Over here you might (rarely)hear someone say "I wouldnt have a smick" meaning "I wouldn't have a clue" or "I wouldn't have any idea", But "smick" meaning "flash" or "tidy" is new to me.
Tony and Euan. Yes we follow the lingo, and dont all the threads get hijacked?

Hi Max,
When do you leave? Do you have some form of itinery in case our (we and other MLUers) paths cross. When does Chris arrive? We might visit Yass, if the time frame suits.
Regards Rick

Smick over ere in the West Island is used in the flash context always.

''By Geez you should have seen Johnno's Blitz.....It looks smick.''

Try this one "Dont come the raw prawn with me, cobber.....cause if you do, I'll blimmin well take and bounce a gibber off ya crust!"

Enter Howard - He loves this stuff!!!

Choice eh Bro??
