Thinking about trying to organise the same sort of re-union day up here as what the guys in Mexico do. Anyone interested. I was thinking early in the new year some time.
Open to suggestions.

PS Fuge = F*&^%$ HUGE

Feb looks good for me too, I am going to be spending a lot of quality work time in North Coast early in the new year

That would be cool, if it's in Feb I'm in for sure!

I was seriously considering it, just have to get my crap into a pile.

April 15-17
Yep maybe a convoy would be a grand idea...got a couple o mates down here who are keen we are thinking of hiring a bus if the numbers are worthwhile - if holidays can be arranged for all then could squeeze in a drive of our own as well....

Hey guy's If we could make the weekend on the 5th & 6th of Feb that would be ideal (for me
. The 12th & 13th would also be OK but definitely can't make after that. Flying out to the UK on the 20th

the UZJ40 wont be on the road by then, but it'd be great to meet some of you and see some of your 40s, might get some ideas. that is if i can come in the misus's Prado.

Damn it
Why does this have to happen now that I have moved from Sydney
I don't think the 40 will like 5 hours on the freeway. A 40 litre fuel cell and a a V8 dont make good touring partners

Not a bad idea !
But with the way my fuel cell and roll cage is setup, I would be lucky to fit a 20 litre jerry can in
Unfortunately, the 40 is not set up for any sort of long distance touring
Just spewing, as I would have loved to have participated in a 40 series gathering
