I was supposed to be on a trip along the Border Track but one of our guys had to pull out for a knee op so I am now free.
Will pop over late morn from my place around the corner.
Thanks for opening your place up for us Steve.

Here are my topics from recent discussions:

1. Panhard on a leaf sprung car (that's all the lock I have!)
- clearance
- angle
- placement
- axel bracket vs ubolt

2. Weight Distribution vs Stability and Climbing Ability (after AT chat with Sean)
- vs body lift
- vs seat drop
- vs kicking out the passenger
- vs full fuel tank behind axel / vs empty fuel tank and just using a small jerry can under seats (or equiv)
- vs packing tools and spares under bonnet to get weight forward

I'll also bring up a KR2 for the always fun "fit a big tyre to my car" phase of the day.

In short, yes.

The pizza joint is open pretty much all day and has a range of food stuffs (not just pizza) There’s also the cafe which opens at 11.00am, which is where the bakery used to be.
