Re: Spotted a PP in your travels

Well, this is by far the best location I've ever had a PP spotting..... Out the front of the Birdsville Hotel on Thursday 5th August at about 8pm. It was a dune coloured 120 with Vic Rego starting with 'X'. I think it was running Cooper STT's. A very nicely decked out ride. Be very interested to know who this was. Didn't get a photo because the battery ran out on the camera at Big Red.

Cheers,
AJ

Hi Folks

Spotted a Graphite 150 GXL 0__MTY (does MTY stand for mighty?) on the Logan Motorway this morning at 8.47 heading west and with a load in the back, blond lady driving. Couldn't get a photo as the phone was in the pocket.

Richo.

That would be me with my wife driving. Heading off to Darwin via Lawn Hill and Katherine Gorge!

Finally arrived in Darwin yesterday afternoon to find another Qld PP (8__-LIR)) parked across the road from our unit at Hidden Valley Tourist Park. Haven't had the opportunity to say hello yet.

Off to put the car in for its 10,000km service this morning.

Of course the MTY stands for mighty - how else would you describe a Prado?

Graham

Hi Graham,

I can confirm your sighting of us at Hidden Valley. We were on our way from Darwin back to Brisbane via the Savannah Way, Lawn Hill, etc. I got a photo of your rig which I'll post up (only got back today). It took almost 10,000kms but got 4 PPs in total.

We only got back yesterday too! Sorry we didn't get a chance to say hello but you had gone by the time we got back from getting the car serviced.

We had a couple of nights at at Lawn Hill on the way up - fantastic place.

After Darwin, we gave the vehicle a rest on the Ghan to Adelaide before returning to Brisbane by the Birdsville Track.

In just of 7100km of road travel, we saw heaps of Prados but yours was the only one we noticed with a sticker.

Well done Stephen,

That has to be the best start ever from zero to 20 points. You have already had the first one confirmed so here is the other three.

The Flinders Red Prado is the Fishnuts

The White GX is Leachy

And the last 'Prado' is Prado4x4

Cheers Neil

Guys

What is it about the Albion Hotel, how come all the "spots" are there? Maybe the next Sunday trip should either start or better still finish there (lol).

See ya on the tracks, Richo.

Re: Spotted a PP in your travels

I only saw 1 PP sticker in the whole trip and I didn't have my camera. The sticker was on a dune Prado with a camper trailer that did the rounds of the carpark in Seisia while I was walking through it. Seemed like whoever it was was in a hurry to leave as it took off in a bit of a hurry before I could catch up to say hello. The camper trailer had a rego starting with 'YES'. Not sure who that was.

Hi Pearcey
I can confirm your spotting at Seisia, Sorry to have missed you Mate.
One of those "Mum has seen enough moments" and "I just want to get on the road" special times when one must obey!
Headed to Charlies, Mine campsite at Coen from Seisia. A fairly rustic/eccentric camp but lots of hot water and clean dunny's.
Regards Troy

Re: Spotted a PP in your travels

Andrew,

this was me - and the Prado is Maroon :wink: We lost radio pretty quickly ...
The Cruiser behind was prado4x4 - also has a PP sticker

and the white one near Coen would have been leachy_9 minus his tvan

Stephenvsl post on the previous page shows the three of us in all our glory

Spotted Yesterday, 2nd August heading towards Laura in Lakefield NP. 120 series with ARB bar roof rack and large PP sticker on front windscreen, i thought it was gold / dune, i was heading in the opposite direction and after finding the driver on UHF 16 had a VERY brief conversation before reception faded, i could hear him but he couldn't hear me. the conversation confirmed that his car was not gold but just dirty, dont know what colour it was or who it was. Seemed to be travelling with someone behind him in a cruiser ute.

Also spotted a white 120 series with ARB bar today heading south from Coen at about 2pm, looked like a PP sticker on rear window, couldnt raise anyone on UHF.

Anybody going to own up.

Cheers Andrew

Saw someone today, I should know who it is..

Unfortunately I haven't got anything on the outside of my rig to show its a real four-wheel drive, let alone a PP vehicle! :mrgreen:

In Rockingham, about 5:30pm behind me on Read St.
White 120 Prado
Sticker on wind-screen
Snorkel
Sovereign Bar with Winch
MT/s - Damn noisy!
Roof rack + NANE Spotties..
etc

Someone will know who it is I'm sure!

Looking forward to getting on a trip soon.. ops:
