Re: "tanks is ON THE ROAD again
"tanks" here--- Thwe mechanic has all of the problems fixed. Would not take any payment for his services.
He also checked out the turbo thing on the Sprinter, and the 12 volt Vitrofridge for me, and load tested the 2 house batteries. All good and now in working order.
I can not speak highly enough of the service. EAST KIMBERLEY MOTORS is the place to go-- 5 Mango Street, Kununurra -- prop: SEVER CRISAN, ph: 9168-3001.
I will be in the Showgrounds for another 2 days and then on to KATHERINE N.T., with a few days stop-over along the road.
The first stop is at Camps Aust #6---site # 205 - East Bairnes River, which is 169 km East from Kununurra. I have loaded up with food for the next venture and I am ready to GO-GO-GO-and get mobile again.
I have met so many wonderful people along the way, and there are 3 of us who are going the same way as I plan to go. We wait for each other and set up our camp close to each other and maintain phone/radio contact.

Re: "tanks is ON THE ROAD again
You are sounding so relaxed and full of joy Keith. Keep on doing what you are doing it is agreeing with you. Glad you got a good mechanic.

Re: "tanks is ON THE ROAD again
Hey, Tanks,
Good to hear you got good service & are back on the road.
What's your itinerary after Broome?
Are you coming east to Darwin/ Three-Ways/East Coast?

Re: "tanks is ON THE ROAD again
"tanks" here again----I have just typed a lengthy summary on life on the road for me only to be hit with a disconnection and I lost the lot on a "time-out" something. My next move today is to Katherine where I collech my forwarded mail. I am 40 km from the N.T. Border and my next stop for a few days is at East Baines River, 170 km up the road towards Darwin.
I will stop here and post this to the Forum before the system does the time-out again.

When i write long post I alway cut and paste it to a word document so I can spell check it and it keeps a copy just in case the post vapourises into the ether or where ever lost posts go.

Re: "tanks is ON THE ROAD again
Any chance we can see a screen grab of the icon?
I'm using IE10 & I can't find it.
In IE6 it only showed up if you had Microsoft Office installed.
