Thanks mate... we went up to that mob in Cannington this morning didnt get the one we aimed at as they had sold it but did WAY better!!
Got this one

Its a pommy make their club site says 1991 but the plate says 1998... bloody whopping great thing it ends up being!!
See the sales site says NOW $3999 its original price was inside the fibreglass box at the front 6999... now me today I wasnt really aiming at something like this but was wandering around scratchin meself at havin missed the one I wanted and the fact the dipsticks didnt contact me as they said they would... when I spotted it and well me being me I started rummaging around in that box at the front... first a perspex sign saying "Was 6999 now 3999" and with a bit more rummaging I found on the back of that one a new one saying "Was 3999 now 2999" mmmmm thinks I with a bit of a wry grin so they cant move you eh me wee beauty lets see what we can do about that eh!
So I start taking that blue cover off her and a salesbloke comes racing over choking on his sanga "Mate dont sweat it I just want to have a gander at her" "MATE NO MATE!! look as you can imagine it wouldnt be good if we opened her up for everyone that came in wanting to have a look would it?" mmmm "Mate IF we DONT open the thing I wont be parting with any money" "Your interested in buying it are you?" "mate I dont bloody know how can I friggin know IF YOU DONT SHOW ME the thing?" And so he and I start opening it all up... he says something about the price he wants 2600 I look at him and say "mate if you expect me to pay 2500 for this thing then I damned well need to have a good look at it setup" now thing is this bloke is just a salesman... this other bloke came along and says "You interested in this one are you mate?" I shake me head as the sales bloke says "yeah for 2600 Brian" I looked up at them "Mate I am not shelling out anything until Ive had a bloody look as I told you... I did mention a figure and that wasnt it" so the boss bloke says "Right I'll go check how much it owes us while you do that"... So were busily opening it up folding it out and such and the boss comes racing back "Right 2000 drive away" I look at him smile "mate were still opening it up... but its done IF its licensed AND you pay my fuel rightio?" No worries I'll go check the license dont think he actually heard the fuel comment though
Anyway Id seen enough it was definantly all there along with a whole swag of other camping gear so done I thought and we started packing it up again... when were done the salesbloke starts walking away "Brian will fix you mate" "NO hang on a tick the tyres are flat and the spare isnt there so you can do that while I go sort Brian okay?" and he does... a tad begrudgingly but he does and I watch him do it so its cool
Now Brian being the boss has the sayso... so I walk inside and hes got the paperwork all sorted "Shes licensed till December just sign here mate" says he with that cheshire cat grin salesjerks get when they smell a sale... I started counting out the 2000 "mate I have an email from you saying IF I buy a unit from you you WILL pay my fuel so I need to know if your going to?" "Mate youve got a great deal now I cant do that"... I pocketed my $2000 in $100 notes and turned for the door "Where are you going mate!! We have a deal!!" I got to the car and was opening the door when he put his hand on it "Mate we have a deal" "no mate the deal was I buy a unit you pay my fuel heres the email so either your gonna honor that or Im going I dont deal with people who dont honor what they say" and I step up to get in "Mate come inside and we can talk" "What is to talk about mate you said you would now you say you wont I dont deal that way" Im in the car... "Alright let me see the email" I hand it over "right I guess I have to do you have a reciept dated today?" sly grin thinking i wouldnt have one but guess who fueled the Prado up as we left? so I hand over the reciept and we head back inside when we get to the desk I start counting out the $ again getting to 1900 I stop and put the hundred into my pocket "It was 2000 mate" "yes it was mate and that reciept is for my fuel so as youve agreed to pay my fuel and that reciept is for $100 worth of fuel we have done our deal"
I left with the papers in my hand hooked up the camper to the Prado and drove home with the BIGGEST GRIN on my dial Ive had since god knows when!! :2tsup:
Now if only the weather would clear so I can flamin well set it up!! :roll:
Ive been casually looking at this type of camper here for some time now and generally speaking they range from around 4K up to 6K... so BARGAIN FOR ME!!! :2tsup:
I drove it to our eldest daughter Yaz and Dans place on the way back to do a bit of gloating of course which one does from time to time just to stir the young buggars blood up... and while going over it we work out that it wouldnt take buggar all to convert this thing into an offroad capable camper a bit of tweeking and some extra support underneath larger wheels and whallah!! she becomes a 10K unit!!! :2tsup:
Sooo all up a bloody bottler of a day!!! :2tsup:
Cheers Pat
