Muzza / Barrabart - when you guys are talking about going to the show in your thongs, is that the Australian meaning of the word, or the European meaning? I guess the latter would mean that you would REALLY stand out...

Cheers,

I have no dress sense whatsoever, my wife and kids reckon I dress like a bogan. Not sure if I should take that as an insult or compliment.

At least you's blokes wear thongs, can't stand the bloody things. Bare foot, stubbie shorts and t-shirt is the norm for me and yes I have been called a BOGAN several times before, I just smile and say thanks for the complement . Stuffs them right up.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I may come down to the big smoke on Saturday  for a look.

Haha  yep I had too wear my thongs , but if it rains again bare feet might be a better option :)
shes a bit soft under foot there this morning and it will be a muddy mess with more rain ..And good too see how some of the rigs took the wind ...

Not really any must have supa specials too be had , but we did grab a couple of the Happy Camper long life meals to try out . I almost ordered some online last week, but it was good too have the wenches approval rather than finding them in the PO box , lol


Well it was all about research today really and I came away with lots of ideas :)
So its out too the shed too get back too work on this tray for my ute , then maybe start on some sort of hard floor ..

Good too meet my first other swaggers , the guys at Leisure Matters .

Cheers

Went to the show today, caught up with Campingwithkids, (thanks for the advice Nathan).
Had a Dagwood dog, couldn't find Teabag, looked at a heap of trailers, caught up with a few mates.

Sorry McGirr, couldn't find your donation stall for the engine rebuild so I donated some $ to the surf life savers instead.
