I've had to split the Tech Days and the Trips pages.

phpBB must have a limit to the number of characters (?) in a post .... and once you reach it ... you're buggered.

... and the reason it grew ... was Leachy's Birthday Bash.

I think, as this section grows, it will have to be limited to 20 trips per page :lol: :lol: :lol:

You must have a money tree in that back yard of yours... :shock:

Perth's recent rainy spell has caused it to fruit again ....

I thought it was a gonner with the drought ... but it survived :lol: :lol:

Chippy great photos, what happened to the 2 Prados on the trailers, did they join the diff club or did something else break :?:

The Champagne one was a dif .... the white one was a CV joint.
