Saw this PP Prado on Coronation Drive, Milton/Auchenflower/Toowong & followed it - in our dark blue Mazda3 - onto High Street. Saw it about 0900 Wednesday 28/10/2009

Re: Spotted a PP in your travels

Spotted Leachy and Jen towing the T Van heading into Bunbury on SUnday afternoon.
COnfirmed it by giving him a call on the mobile and asking how his trip went :lol: :lol: :lol:

Spotted Linda - in the Seachmobile - heading into Mandurah on the new freeway extension - at about 1pm yesterday afternoon.

.... and I have found the mythical birthplace of the PRADO :lol: :lol: :lol:

We just spent 3 days down in Busselton, Dunsborough and Margaret River.
I've never seen so many Prados .... and I got a sore neck from swivelling around trying to spot a sticker :shock: ops: .... and there weren't any :cry: :cry:

Cheers

Re: Spotted a PP in your travels

You have nothing to complain about as I can not find one sticker in the state to report.

Should spend more time at that little pub on the highway in Perth(Tas) VK! Have passed through there a number of times in the last few weeks.

Re: Spotted a PP in your travels

Well there are only the three of us in the state on here so the chances of spotting each other is very very slim.

Re: Spotted a PP in your travels

I spotted this post in the myswag forum -- I spotted a black pradopoint Prado at the Falcon Maccas south of Perth a week or two ago.. Wod I win?

Had a white one follow me south along the F1 freeway in Sydney in Jan this year too..

Surely spotting some one spotting in another form is worth some sort of score ????

Re: Spotted a PP in your travels

Spotted tonight - Dark grey Prado - sahara bar - no spotlights fitted ....................

ok I cheated and lured WizudofOz to my house to buy some gear. But I still saw it :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Has to be worth at least 1/2 a point for effort.

HeHe - yes was I! Hoop is on now after ARB included the wrong one in the box. Looks pretty schmick IMO.

As for lights...ahhh...pulled out the XGT's tonight when I got home, you know just to sit them on the bar & ogle in prep for Saturday's job to do...

Don't bloody fit!

XGT's have a larger more rounded body & there's not enough room under the hoop with the light mount in the correct position. Turning the mount around means they just fit but there's not enough upward movement so they'll point too low.

New lights now...decisions decisions...

Mate ,

just do anything in the HID range - price will be the only limitation but you wont regret it-

I have not had a chance to take mine for a good road test but the difference is awesome - I was spotlighting the neighbours cat and it almost caught on fire. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

The Toyota dealer has been very busy down here, but alas no PP stickers except mine. There are some nice Prados here though, and the ARB shops here and Bunbury have also been busy.

BTW, saw a nice 90 series Dual cab here yesterday, looked like a local. And the 120 series one I saw a couple of months ago is def a local. Next time I see it Im going to stop and chat.

Quicky. Good spot! That would would have been my Black Grande (with two PP stickers on the back - possibly with a trailer attached too) - they were down there for the entire MotoGP (in support of my brother, who would have been on a green Ninja behind them). They borrowed my Prado because they couldn't fit all the camping gear in their fairlane, and needed a fridge power outlet in the back too.

Nice to know that it got recognised!

Pity I didn't meet you in person. Next time.

Smooove.

Re: Spotted a PP in your travels

Spotted this afternoon @ 2:20pm and again @ 3:45pm when I returned,
was GDS parked on River Tce, Kangaroo Point.
Sorry folks, no photo as I was on foot and no camera
Saw the PP sticker on the rear glass, top and centre.
The Plates were a dead give away on the White 120series.
GDS,.... could I also assume you may have attended the same wedding ceremony I did at St Mary's Church.

Cheers

Re: Spotted a PP in your travels

Spotted at Kiama NSW on Monday 2nd November.

White Grande, ACT plates. First letters 'YFN'

We - towing a caravan stopped in the middle of the street so I could take the photo (couldn't wait 'till you returned)

PS - I still think that spotting a PP Prado in from another state deserves extra points....
