Haha... so true especially in your case AND Sharky's. I hope the carnage on your bus isn't too bad.
My bus is all cleaned up, ready for the urban assault "aka the working week" minus a front rego plate.

Off to the RTA tomorrow to organise a replacement.

I'm disappointed that I never got to take any photos, here's hoping with the amount of camera's around today, there is some good ones. I managed to do what I set out to do and that was to test the T.C out. Thanks for your help today in doing that fellow PPer's!!!

The boy tells his mum tonight that Dad broke the car on the hill, and got stuck in some mud!!! - Of course she believes him and not me

Roll on next Sunday already and the pic's from today

P.s. - whoever suggested the hair dryer to pop out the panel work - top stuff. 5 mins and popped straight back out - resiliant little bugger. Might even try a bit of sandpaper and a spray can! It's only gonna happen again =)

The before shots - note chippys creative gaffa taping - still holding stong.

Firstly just want to say thanks to everyone for a good day out, it's been way to long since i've had a good day in the mud. Also good to meet some new people.

Russ it's not how it looks. Ok,maybe a little bit. I did send my co pilot out (JAY), but then out of the blue,quick as a flash :shock: Chippy came tramping through the mud to the rescue ,(which made me feel guilty :mrgreen: ) but before i could react we where hooked up and out of there. TRUE Oh, it also took three attempts to get me out ops: Great day , maybe catch up with you and the tribe next weekend.

I sure missed a good day out there...
And after spending all day saturday cleaning up from the GTG NT dust. I must say it was a different type of car cleaning to that you guys would be doing.

Nice work Perth PPers again. I was sorry to have missed out, but now after seeing the photos, I'm glad - guess I'm getting soft? Nah, I'll be back into it soon enough! I'm guessing you were all busy yesterday with a bucket and hose! After the detailing Deb gave the car after the GTG (it looks wonderful), it would have been ALL my job to clean up from yesterdays trip - and since I didn't have time to get out for the drive I certainly would not have had time to clean it!
