Default Aussie carrier

Any hints as to who the Aussie bringing a carrier might be?
This event is on my bucket list and I'm interested in shipping cost to do it in the future.

Default Hey Shaun,

as one of the 'tribe of kiwis' I would like a drive of that formerly sand Mk II again please.

And Ben, I've driven this Bren (see below) a few times, so would like to compare the Scout!

Euan, you might want to come to NZ in January next year to our carrier gathering...watch this space.

Rob

I suppose we can let you off in the circumstances.

By the way the PWRR display in the Arena this year should be a bit special.

See you there

Andy

Hi Andy,

I'll be bringing my MkII*. Sadly my friend Hans Bekkers, MkI*, had to cancel due to other obligations.

There will be a space on my trailer now that I won't need. Anybody from Holland interested in having his/her MV transported to W&P and back? Just send me an email or PM.

Cheers,

Rob, you borrow HMH 244 for the week and we can compare one to the other ;-) I think you'll find the same early control set up in both!

Default Funny you should say that...

we have asked for it for next years gathering in January!
(Don't think we will get the one beside it though!)
So is your passport current?

Default Two weeks to go nearly...

Well chaps what are the numbers looking like? UK is the home of the carrier and it will be great to see them up close.

Got to start packing soon, and then I head up north of the equator!
There will be a 10 hour wait for Lynn: (WA is a bit behind NZ time).
