I'm going to head in via Blackfellows Hand trail, so perhaps we should meet in there? (do you know it?)

hey all, i am a possibility for monday. i have just got the prado back on the road. long story short i now have 15 brand new rims...yes apparently the new 150's don't like steelies and i ended up back on a set of alloys. Sliders go back on tuesday as well, all painted up and ready to go.

[glen_ep Addicted PP Member Find all posts View Profile Close glen_ep]

That's a lot of rims! All 17's I guess? What's wrong with steelies?

[spitfireslw Member Find all posts View Profile Close spitfireslw]

yeah two brand new sets of 17x8 one with a p30 and other with p25. Apparently i can only fit a hub locating rim and not stud locating rims. i was getting vibs when ever i went over 80km/h.

That servo on Wolgan Road (spelling) is perfect, will meet you there approx 9:30 (that should be approx the time you will get there from Richmond. Sounds like a plan.

That's fine Ryzz.

There's a big storm traveling east over the mountains... I tend to avoid hardcore runs in the wet, but judging by radar images it looks to be just a short storm. fingers crossed.

Hey Glen,

That storm came across Mudgee a few hours ago, 2-4mm rain for 30-45min, lots of thunder and some Lightning. Pretty piddly really, i doubt it would be much to be concerned about.. Can you SMS me in the morning if your NOT going 0413-984-819. I can give you weather updates if you need be as im not far from Newnes.

Thanks Ryzz, I've saved your number.

There was around 20mm here but like you've pointed out, not much out west. Radar is clear for a while, so good to go

Oh, so you're coming, confirmed?
