Hi all, found this forum on Google and signed up tonight (probably morning for you lot!).

I'm in Rockingham, West Australia, and have been for many years now.

I'm actually a Leicester boy from Swannington Rd, Coalville, no less! Came out when i was 9, so mostly Aussie now :-)

I drive a 89 Terrano 2.7TD Import 2 door SWB. with: snorkel, 2 inch lift, 30" AT tyres, Bullbar, 4 spotties, roof rack, Navara rims (extra 50mm track width, same studs) LPG Gas conversion, Custom drawers in back, and a shipload of recovery gear in the back.

It gets full use off road when I'm not driving it to work, most of the off road trips around here are sand dune and beach work with a bit of forest work. I'm uploading some pics to my photobucket account at the moment, so I'll post them soon.
Look forward to talking to you all
Jim

Although it's not all beer and skittles, sometimes you just can't decide whether to keep driving or park up and start fishing instead. decisions, decisions.

Despite several highly innappropriate comments by unapreciative wives, Broke inlet is a back-free zone. Although on the night my airbed went flat there was a bit of back-ache!:doh

Check it out on Google Earth, it's a cool spot!
