I'll just jump into my private jet and meet you up there ;D

Would liked to have, but unfortunitely travel times and having to be back for work, Only gives us about an hour to wander around and have a look .

I'll be there. Look out for the guy wearing an Akubra.
-
Any chance that anyone going there, can stop in at the Projector stand and ask them what their best price is on a 35A 7 stage charger at all?
If it's a decent enough sale price, i could be persuaded to go there on the weekend to buy one. Being my other one has died, i just want to replace it with same again so the screw holes and wiring all stay the same.

I might be getting some free tickets (I'll know tomorrow night). If I do I'll I'll have two spares, I'll throw it on here to see if anyone wants them.
If I don't get em has anyone got the discount code for this year.
-
Hoping to on Saturday, can t resist, "Discount Code" ?
-
Usually I can ride a code that gives you a few bucks off your tickets if you buy online.
Last year it was 4X4 or OFFROAD
-
Yep, i'll be there with the wife Saturday. I'll also have an akubra on too ;D
-
I will b there Sunday with a cap :)

Thinking about it, I'll be the guy in the Micra.
-
Yeah, I'll be there Saturday. I'll have my Akubra on too so there will be 3 of us. This could get confusing. To stop confusion I will wear my blue-grey Akubra. Fixed

Looks like it might be wet and stormy this weekend too.

Just note if you get tickets online they slug you $1.65 per ticket....so you only save $1.35
Prepaid are only good if you can skip the line up
Cheers

Mate, I can do that

:cheers: KB .....after paying to go to the Manly show and have them not actually selling anything at their stand, I don't won't to waste time going here if they are selling at normal prices.

The prepaid tickets also get you free train travel to the show... which is handy and saves a bit of cash as well :cheers:

my last 6+ visits to events at the RNA grounds - has scored me free parking down the road - either in the Naughty But Nice car park -- or most times a bit further on in Water Street....
that makes it a 3 block walk to the entry gate of the show - and actually closer than the middle/far end of the big bucks paid parking area.....
Parking on the street where i do - ....may? also be slightly safer regarding random opportunistic thieves.... Lots of nice stuff drippn off a fourby - may be whipped away when a villain is engulfed within a sea of temptation........ lol...
PS - thanks for the discount codes... :cheers:

yep i found that with the gc show the other weekend. No specials, everything was just marked the normal price with a sign that says, "yay show special". I wont bother anymore with these shows. I actually had a list of things i wanted and have got them outside of the show, cheaper. go fiquire. I guess they pray on the spare of the moment, i havent researched this, type of person.

True that, but seeing as we drive all the way from sunny cst, we will cop the parking!

Just got back, I wanted to get home before the storms rolled in. Overall I thought it was pretty good, lots of stalls and stuff to look at. Got to meet up with Glenno "has-been", Jamie Hazelden, Shaun from 4WD Action and the crew from 4WD Touring Australia. Roothy was a bit too hard to get to as you had to fight past all the kids and I wasn't that keen to get a selfie with him.
-
Just got back too. We really enjoyed the show this year.
Also, got Penny, Roothy, Jase, Simon & Carlisle to sign my shirt. They were so happy to have a chat.

Spent yesterday at the show. Plenty of people. Saw lots of stuff I couldn't afford >:(
Highlights were:
The Drifta camper trailer. Wow, impressed. :cup: :cup: Well built solid trailer and a great easy set up. Whilst the Patriot won CT of the Year, the Drifta does it all for a third of the price. Luke, Ross and Beachy were all there. Good to meet them and discuss a few things.
The Complete Campsite Exodus. Dream camper. If only money grew on trees :D
Waited out the torrential storm at the presentation stage. And it was airconditioned :D Jason and Simon from All 4 Adventure were good. My son got his photo with them. Top couple of guys. Also listened to Allan Gray from Terrain Tamer. What a knowledgable guy. Would love to have him around my garage occasionally.
As for bargains, few and far between. TJM were discounting heavily. And their discounted prices were good for 30 days. 20% off their Airtek snorkels wasn't bad. ARB were offering the standard 10% off which you can get any day of the week if you ask. Lots of other stuff no cheaper than online. Didn't price any of the fishing gear though.

cheers for speaking to Projecta for me mate, you saved me the cost of going in there to find I could purchase the same product online $50 cheaper from several different suppliers. The days of big discounts at 4wd shows are long gone sadly, I've bought many products at them in years gone by, but the last few years I've barely spent a cent at the few I've attended.
-
ARB 10% off. Where is that. I have always asked for a discount and never got $1 off. Even after setting up the cruiser and spending $9500 they wouldn't even throw in a free shirt. Hope I'm the only one who doesn't get a discount.

Got this from the show for my mums van will try it out if rain p---- off tomoz they also has a 160 w unit (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/22/372e43ddab7b909bb4397d96c3380bb2.jpg)(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/22/73838ccebcc157692394cb97411bb4cb.jpg) I like the fact it has andersons already cut in
