2. If you don't have a UHF CB Radio, we thoroughly recommend you buy or borrow a good unit for the cruise. Aside from the hilarious chatter that goes on during any FordXR6Turbo.com cruise, it will be our primary means of communication when on the road.

Any recommended brand, estimate cost etc. If it is affordable, I'll get it otherwise, gonna have to use my mobile

I personally recommend the Uniden UH-044XR 2W 40Ch UHF Handheld CB. Great unit with excellent range. One will cost you $168, but if you visit your local DSE shop and ask for the UH-044XR Bonus Pack (Part# D1771C) you will get a Speaker/Mic with it for free. Also recommend you get a pack of 1800mHa AA Rechargable Batteries also.

A cheaper unit is the Uniden UH-036. You pickup two from DSE for $58, but they are only a 500mW unit. The UH-041 is a 1W handheld you can grab for $78.83.

Im bringing my dodgy little digital camera and I only have a 128 and a 16Mb card.If I bring my USB cable thing, would I be able to get one of you nerds to save them and then burn them for me?

Lord Cyric...I'll PM you soon with my mobile number.

Yeah, I've got my destinator 2003 - so hopefully maps hasn't changed alot

WhoCarez, it's Tasmania! You could have the latest leatherbound edition of Destinator 1903 and it would still be the bloody same :lol:

I'll be bringing my xdrive which has hot swap card readers in it - 30gig worth. Also doubles as my mp3 player for teh car on long drives so I dont wear out the CD changer. I love it cause its so compact - no need to pull the laptop out.

As for Vik - :banghead: off...I'm feeling p!ssed off enough as it is. But all that will be fixed when I am reunited again with Ken once more. :crybaby: :o

The dank mobeele is all ready to go. She'll be all sparkly and shiney when you guys hit Albury. I'll be annoying Blacklock's Ford for a bit and I dare say you guys will be there before I finish. They're right next door to Shell as you come into Albury. Those of you that use BP instead its the first peterol station on the left as you hit the limits of Lavingon .oO(mmmmm lamintons :crybaby: ) and the Shell is about a kilometer further down the road but within line of sight of the BP.

DucattiJB could you send me the Channel number so I can have my ears burnt as you come over the horizon and into Albury please? I'm pretty sure I've sent you a PM with my mobile already, but if I havent let me know :banghead:

Have a great time everyone, wish I was coming along. Make sure you allow time to climb out of Queenstown at least twice! :pooh: One of the best bits of roads in Australia, so make sure there are plenty of pics taken there.

Also, tell the nice people at Boags I said hi, and I am sorry I couldnt make it. :lol: :msm:

Above all, take it easy, and enjoy the driving through a magic part of Oz.
