Some money will be coming into my hands within the next few weeks so the plan is to organise what needs to be done to my foz and get her sorted and reliable.
The oil bunring is right up with, with finishing off the SC (coming along very well and working on it every few days), new gearbox with abit of fruit since it needs replacing anyway and front Subaxtreme bar. After that I will call it a day for awhile.
Although more things would be nice once she is in a reliable, well functioning state and decently capable offroad I will be happy.

I've not told Kez until now... so I've got some talking to do to bring her around. Dunno what we'll be doing at that time of year but hopefully we'll have some travel coin to see it through!

I'm still happy to organise though!

It would be great if you both could make it. If not then it would almost be worth making the extra trip over to you

Ill stick my hand up for this! =) it would be sweet to see a butt load of offroad subys all lined up! If Im in the country Ill be there! =)

I have trouble planning next week but what the hell...count me in

Us Vic fishermen wont know what hit us with the big SA salmon but in that part of the world I reckon I'll be trying for an elusive big bastard mulloway

No idea what il be doing then but hopefully can come.
Il be at the end of my L's with about a month to go before my P's.
Il be packing the golf clubs and playing the new nullabor course if I can!

Then might head back over with the W.A. Boys and go to Esperance and catch up with family.

You can do it Bennie Plenty of time to save.. just stop buying more L's.. I'm just laughing to myself as I'm just thinking of buying another car

Definitely maybe... Depends on if I'm in the country or not. Would be great as I haven't seen any of SA or WA before.

Im going to watch this thread. Cofffin Bay was my wife and I's favourite place when we travelled around Australia... We just wished we could have stayed there longer.

Probably wouldnt be taking a Subaru if we went but im sure the Subaru guys from WA would travel easier having an Auto Electrician tagging along.

Dave

that would make 2 of us going in non subaru cars hahaha....

I'm still in

I'm In! Looking at end of year or Jan 2013.

wont be in unfortuntly i will b in cairns on holidays with my mates. so cant complain

I'm in for end of Jan/13! Should we start looking at some dates?

Sweet! Yes probably a good idea

I'm planning on leaving on boxing day (or the 27th) and head across to be there for New Years Eve. I'm thinking the trip will take 2 days rushing or 3 days just cruising. I'm due back at work on the 10th of Jan but I'm trying to swap some time with a work mate. If this works out, I'm hoping to stop over for at least 10days, then the drive back to WA. Again, hoping to sight see along the way back.

Anyway, that's my plans if that helps?

I'm in. Cant wait to meet up with some of the guys from other states

Yep i'm in too, I don't think there will be another Ausubaru trip organised like this anytime soon. Last one i know of was when Bennie came to WA, not sure if i was a member then...
Anyway only need to fix the wiring, Hopefully Dave can now sort it out with the wiring diagram i found and get the 5stud hubs and new wheel bearings/bushes in the rear. Apart from that its just a question of organising the camping stuff.

Note to the WA crew/cars that are going... Since we are going and coming back together, Would it be a good idea if we got together and organised our tools and spare parts. That way we each bring less but more if you get what i mean. Instead of bringing 4times the same tool... what do you think?
and like Dave mentioned he can cover the elec side for us:)

I won't be able to be there for New Year's, but if the WA guys will be over there for that, maybe the Viccos are interested in driving over around Jan 3rd??? We would make it there for the weekend and hang around for a few days??

Let me know what you think!

Sounds good Pedro! Venom and I have our return trip sorted Get ready for a touring trip on the way back, probably a week in itself

I'm not a definite yet, it'll almost be a last minute decision as I need to see how things pan out here - I also need to find out what's happening at work at that time of year as it's all new to me

Cheers

Bennie

Well, as how things are planning out I could be up for the trip Could probably only come for 7-10 days at the most though

EDIT: Guy I think that is a bloody good idea!

Hi all,

I am locking in recommended dates for this: I will leave Melbourne on Thursday, 3rd Jan and spend 10 days on the road, so arriving back in Melbourne on the Sunday, 13th Jan.

Haven't thought about where to stop on the way to Coffin Bay, but El_Freddo's suggestion of somewhere in the Mallee country for the return trip sounds great.

So, who else is a definite in from Vic??

Cheers,
Pedro.
