Re: Victorian Prado Owners...

Sorry all but I wont be making it this weekend. I've gotta go out car hunting with the other half as his POS is gonna die on us any day now, and I dont think fitting this trip and car shopping into the same day is going to work well as I just looked on Whereis.com and realised that Avoca is 260kms from my house!! :shock:

Hopefully the next trip is somewhere a bit closer..... I am thinking Narbethong would be the way to go as that place has plenty of tracks and its lots of fun. :mrgreen:

No problems - maybe next time

Re: Victorian Prado Owners...

I won't be able to make this one either.

Maybe another one in the new year.

Have a great time for the ones who are going.

Cheers
Adrian

Re: Victorian Prado Owners...

Sorry, I cant make it, even though I just finished fitting my UHF GME TX3440.
But I did spend the last weekend testing out the range of my Prado, 900km to the first tank (very happy).
Will be looking for trip in Late Nov

Re: Victorian Prado Owners...

Just got back from Perth and saw this just now.

We'd have been in except we have a 50th B'day party in Melbourne Sat night.

We've done the Pyrenees Quite a bit and its great... have a great weekend... I'm jealous.

Re: Victorian Prado Owners...

Sorry to Slug and Dieselman that I didn't catch up with you, but as I indicated in my earlier post, I was up there with the Ballarat 4WD Club. We had seven cars up there (2 Prados) and stayed at the Avoca caravan park. We were a bit worried with the heavy rain on Friday, but all it did was hold down the dust.

We had a great drive around the area on the Saturday, finishing off at one of the many fantastic wineries for tastings and a big buy-up to fill the cellar.

We had a great time in this beautiful part of western Victoria and I can recommend it to anyone else planning a trip this way.

Re: Victorian Prado Owners...

No worries Brian. I was a bit surprised we didn’t see you or many others around the tracks. We did catch up with a few groups of the Exploroz mob, a very friendly lot happy to have a chat. As I was “delegated” trip leader I “delegated” the trip report to Dieselman Ive no doubt he’ll post something soon. I will just say it was a great weekend, met up with a fellow proud Prado owner, saw some great country and drove some great tracks, all with no damage!

Looking forward to the next Victorian meet up!

Re: Victorian Prado Owners...

Spewwing we didnt end up coming!! Car shopping was sooooooooooooooo boring :shock: and we didnt even find anything that we liked. So next time there is a trip I am definetely coming, and I will be bring along my prado hating friend in his patrol to prove that a prado is better then a patrol. :lol:

Re: Victorian Prado Owners...

Hello everyone,

Myself and the family had a great weekend in the Pyrenees and would highly recommend it to anyone. It was great to meet Mr + Mrs Slug and hopefully we will catch up again shortly for another Pradopoint meeting.

No problems Brian - we will meet up one day and hopefully we can get ALL the Victoria members in the one place at the same time. It is a great area with tracks from mild to wild (some more so than others in the wet :wink: ) and quite a few wineries that the wife and I would like to visit one day.

I will write up the trip report once I have all the photos - I can tell you all there were a few anxious moments near the top of a damp hill but it all ended well with only a damaged pride ops:

Bye for now

Ben

Re: Victorian Prado Owners...

Has anyone decided on the next trip??? I'm keen as!!
Met a fellow PP'er today at the supermarket (they dont have a PP sticker though but they spotted mine) when I mentioned the trips PP does every now and then they seemed pretty keen so I guess thats another one to tag along....

I guess most of us are probably on holidays still until the 12th (next monday :cry: ) so something between now and then (even though its so close :cry: :cry: :cry: ) would be nice!! :P
