reading convoy procedures and code of conduct makes me think it's a little bit serious for my liking..

They aren't actually that serious, it just has to be there because its a official club.

I might come. Not sure yet.

dont do anything even marginally stupid or else the grandpas will frown at you and ask you to never attend again...

Crikey, bit over the top isnt it? I'd love to attend with fuel tank 3/4 full just to "stick it to the man"! hehehe
Or change the vehicle order, lol. or turn my fog lights on (if I had some), or answer via CB out of turn & I would definately "leave the convoy" on regular occasions for photos or to "drain the lizard"

Damn Straight!!!


Seriously, does sound like a bit of fun, but the rules are a bit much...

some of the rules are laughable.

'when spraying insect repellents or similar sprays move downwind of other people'

Whilst organised runs bring safety in numbers, I have heard some rather odd stories about what happens if you step ourt of line on one of these runs. Or for that matter don't have the right tyre pressures

Sshhhh...quiet...one of em might be reading this...

I'm glad we're much more laid back, chilled out

I'm somehow still in the club, and am always finding new ways to drive my subaru offroad, like reversing up sand dunes in lancelin? and getting bogged while crabwalking side on in sand dunes? so its not that bad?
This Trip will be a cruzy beach run, there is almost no challenging 4wdriving, but a very nice run along the beach with fellow subaru's.
Keen for a swim, maybe even a fish...

I know we're having fun at their expense but they must be doing something right to have so many turn up...20-30 is a lotta subie!

Shouldn't that be "upwind" or have I got my upwind and down winds the wrong way around??

So long as it's not labelled a "beach 4wd trip" like a "snow 4wd trip" was labelled last year where we drove around for a day literally looking for patches of snow on the back of Mt Baw Baw - I came down from the ACTUAL snow to attend. I had more fun camping with a couple of mates!

The trip should be good, don't judge a book by its cover. So i will see how it goes.

Since coming don to perth and eing here fr 3 days I have gone through 3 tanks for fue, 1500km. About 500-600 per tank which is pretty good considering its been loaded up. Ran 3 cans of Subaru upper engine cleaner through and im still smoking out the street, it just keeps coming. lol

Oh and the aircon isn't taking the water out of the car, its flooding the passenger footwell. Somehow there is a crack in the bottom of the unit, good thinkk for the rubber bucket matts.

Taza

that won't be a crack in the unit, it will be the rubber drain hose which will have either come off or split.

Have fun on Suba-Sunday.

I was advised to do a few cans too. Apparently 1 can is enough to dislodge "bits" of carbon which can then interfere with valves, rings etc, which would explain your oil consumption & my continued misfiring & poor fuel consumption.

Getting couple more cans Monday....

+1. The rubber drain hose comes out at the bottom of the A/C then goes through the firewall.

the subaru service guys use not even 1/2 a can of UEC to do one car.

alex

Yeah they charge for one and get two cars out of it lol
