Post by: lindamc on August 30, 2013, 06:34:00 AM

Hi all, my partner and I have just bought and are picking up today, a brand new (to us), 1999 Prado petrol. Next weekend we are picking and even brand newer aussie jay crusher camper. We are obviously very excited to start a new chapter in our lives.
So hello to fellow aussie campers.

Welcome to The Show guys, hope you enjoy the ride.

If you are new to the 4WD & CT world, you might consider a 4WD driver training course, most 4WD clubs will run them, check you local yellow pages for info.

Buying new stuff is always fun, hope to see you out & about some time & don't forget,  :worthles:

Regards

Hem

Welcome to MySwag, the best forum going round. As others have said, come and join in one of the get togethers, Speewa has one soon and there is one in the high country for the cup weekend. Ask away if you need any advice, we are never too shy in assisting one to spend their hard earned
