Bruce (Lost) if you are still interested in a jockey wheel after you've been to the show give me a hoy as I have a new ALKO power wheel jockey wheel with a nuematic tyre going at a reasonable price.

I'm coming over from Adelaide to be there on Sunday - my new Aussie Swag is on display there and I get to take it home when the show ends. YAY!!

I'd be happy to catch up with a few of you Vics if you are keen.  I estimate I won't get there until around 10.30am.

If any of you go please have a robust chat with the guys on the BFG stand and ask why they are exhibiting at the show considering they can't supply any tyres for months!
