Hi All,

The day is almost upon us (22nd March)...

Is anyone attending?

If nobody is going, I might as well rebuild the front suspension on the 6.9!  ;)

Holy 'way too early' Batman! I guess two years of totally crap weather they erred on the side of summer :/ but 2 hours under the Shannons tent keeping out of the rain last year got me a good insurance deal and the bloke with the 2 door BMW works at the local super cheap auto store when I went shopping so had a great chat with him about quality tools (no jokes!) and scored a nice discount (never underestimate the power of the good side of the force!)

My 450 is under reconstruction to replicate your Nullarbor trip in October so won't have a car for the day, bummer :(

But! On another note, when can we organise a Western Australian w116 meet? We have been remiss for a while now, my car will be operational post Easter, I hope, shall we flag that prospect this year in a new thread? Plenty of prospects, drive to WGBs place :), Fremantle? A day drive to Mandurah to compare fuel economy? The ozone is already trembling in anticipation!

It's now not happening for me either... I've completely removed the front lower suspension components from the 6.9 tonight.

Indeed, the date was changed due to the poor weather previously.

Since earlier this evening?! All I've done tonight is watch TV and surf the internet until 3 o'clock in the morning. :-[

You sir are a champ.

Beastie,

Haha, yes sometimes I do get stuck into things. Otherwise I'm pretty much the same.

I assisted Nathan with his dash replacement too.
