Hi all,

I finally saw sense and got rid of the 2 money pits. No not boats, Range Rovers. I had one for luxury travel and an older one for the bush. But after many years trying to make them reliable I finally gave up.

I now have a Citroen C4 and absolutely love it so I need a teardrop Right?

I saw a brilliant on on here with deer antler door handle in the kitchen. Can anyone tell me where I can find pics of that trailer? I am trying to convince my woodworking friend to get involved.

All the best, hope you get a budget soon, they did that stuff here in Australia many years ago.

Welcome John,

Glad to have you onboard! We look forward to your build. I'll have to defer on the name of teardropper with the antler pulls, though someone will recall who it was.

Take care,
Tom

If it's this one, it belongs to prohandyman (Dan Sutton in Indiana....)

Check page 22 of his album... http://tnttt.com/album_ ... er_id=4145

John, what part of Australia are you from, we'll be there in a few weeks....

Hope this helps,
Sid

Thanks for the reply,

I am in York WA, about 100k's east of Perth. I hope you have a good trip in OZ, get off the beaten track, rent a car and just go.

Best of luck

Pretty sad that you'll only be seeing the worst part of Oz Mark ;)



Not really, enjoy your holiday and the offer stays open.

Cheers
Paul :thumbsup:
