nice work Mickos.

I'm sure 15 shirts will cover us for all the drivers... 20 should cover us for all the passengers too?? but then it gets tricky with sizes etc..

when do we need to lock in numbers for the spare seats for you dirtcomp team?

We could bring the Jeep as the "media car" LOL....

and seriously....there is not enough trash talk going on in this thread!

Who's car is ready to go? Mines not! I have no fuel pump! so i'll be trialling a new fuel pump system on the tour...I can't drive a car thats completley been tested! I'll also be carrying the cordless drill to whip off my fragile flares....silliest purchase a man has ever made...

Noel have you charged that battery yet?

steve you will need a new digital tach display with an extra "0", because anything less than 10000 rpm on AT for your car will mean you are going soft :D

Marty, have you finished the Solid axle swap and Lexus V8 conversion in your vitara yet? seeing as it's your "weekend" car now?

Greg, have you found bigger tyres?

Harley practice your greentop mating call

mika, your sierra is too heavy....dimple dies are your friend...

Steve125 i hear Gwagen has some spare olive drab paint....go awwwwn...you know you want to....

Now that I have my sierra back (hopefully will have gears by March) I would say I am booked into to come along.
Although I am tempted to perhaps do a day of wheeling with the auszooker guys in the Otways.

Nothing Beats Adventure Tour Brad, you will learn more and drive better stuff than with those guys.

I'll probably be going to the otways later in the first half of the year with some big patrols and the like...i will let you know if you want to come on that trip...it's always fun outdriving the big rigs.

I've found the best way to be ready for Adventure Tour is to rarely use your vehicle in the meantime.

I need to refit my inner guard, adjust the power steer pulley, fit some new tyres and take the 100ltr weed spray tank off the tray. Had I have used it more than twice off road since AT11 I'd have to do more nodoubt.
