Swamos is often that naked backpacker seen on Australian beaches going by the pseudonym of Lars Longaschlong.

I am sure M1N130 and I saw him on a recent trip to Moreton Island chasing both female campers and seagulls along the beach wearing nothing more than an intense look on his face!

That's not entirely true!!! I was just getting changed when that b*#yh#$#d seagull stole my last chip!.... the female campers were just collateral damage so to speak.

Was that this trip here? Trying to snatch that landcruiser must have been like a jack russel being taken for a walk when he seeing a cat and going the other way

It's good to hear you're still alive Danny

Yep still alive and kickin'.

Yeh it was that trip. Actually it wasn't a too hard snatch at all. I was just lucky I was still on reasonably hard sand following Rob. Simply connected the snatch, put a bit of tension on it and dragged the big ol' 'Crusier out. Would have been a different story if I was following too close. I suspect there would have been a bit of digging going on. I was impressed with the X-Trail over there though. We even saw one towing a boat around the island (about a 15 foot tinny) which is no mean feat considering the tracks and soft fluffy beach entry and exit points are rather inhospitable.

So you're off to Fraser next weekend? Sounds good. I actually have my Fraser trip in the pipelines for October. Can't wait and should be good.

Baby come yet?

That's cool... it's good you're out having fun. How do the family like camping?

Our bub is due soon... in early July.

Nah we didn't camp. Rob has a house he stays in over there. I camped for six months straight once while backpacking around Europe and vowed never to camp again.

Maybe when the kids are a little older... perhaps. $4 per night per adult over Fraser/Moreton is pretty hard to beat.

Well good luck with the new baby.

Yep, ambient morning temperatures mean our interheaters are finally becoming intercoolers. Looking forward to those 3 degree dawn Sunday drives over the mountain Roll on winter.

I'd love a bum burner, but dont tell Zapo, he'll get the wrong idea especially if Quickbrick is going too

Please try and avoid next Wednesday night as the more discerning amongst us are attending a night of contemporary art at Motorline Mini garage at Daisy hill

I hope they do vindaloo canapes

Hey Ken, where do you get your semi slicks from and how much are they? What size did you have on your Mini 16" weels?

I'm Back,

had some stuff going on lately.

Sorry to miss the track day looks like you all had a blast, would have loved to see how the mighty cooper held against all the S's.

Will have to catch up soon.
