A lot of you don't know that I'm confined to a electric wheelchair so getting to events is somewhat difficult and VERY expensive i.e. a return Maxi Taxi ride to the Burswood Dome with a 75% discount is $180.00, a trip to Charlies $150.00 and a ride to Freo $100.00, etc, so when your income is nil outings become a treat, earlier on there were discussions about a Christmas BBQ, well just down the road from me is a park with a lake, tables and BBQ, but I'm way down in Waikiki, if you ever considered coming down this way for a BBQ I could drive my chair to this one

You need to buy a bedford petrol head,
And have a 1 piece rear door and ramp.
Then you can go anywhere you like.

Hi Clint....Can you find out what the name of the park is ? Its bloody highway robbery what those taxi buses charge for taking disabled people where they need to go >:(
-
OK All
Its official - change of venue, Lets make it the weekend of the 18/19 January - lock it in and we all work to being there,
I'm not sure what I have done to the electrics on my bus but I changed the dash configuration and now the ignition lamp stays on and the indicators have a glow and a pulse as apposed to a flash, when the hazards are engaged then nothing works. Are there any spark doctors out there?
-
Yep that weekend sounds good :)
-
Marishka the bastards took my lisence off of me, I even worked out a dual control setup to cover all of their other complaints but in the end they said that a Beddie was too "old" John I don't know the name of the park all I know is that it is within walking distance of here

Bean give Rory from RS installations a call he's a mobile sparkie tell him I said to call

The park is on Kirkbride Meander Waikiki and Harrington Waters Drive

Thats a bit rough mate,
There are other double amputees out there driving.
I Cant see why they singled you out and doubt they were legally able to.
I would have fought them mate.
An automatic bedford would have been perfect.

An automatic bedford would have been perfect. Yup I know but due to my condition (brain tumor) they took my licence away as I might have an "episode"

So where is it going to be?

Thanks Clint... I will google map it. ;)

Ok lets make the venue at the park that Clint mentioned. The park is on Kirkbride Meander and Harrington Waters Drive Waikiki. If Clint can make the effort to get in his electric wheel chair and travel there, then i reckon we can make a members day and have it down there with him. ;D
Google map it and you will see that its the one that has the big arse lake in the middle.

Harrington Waters Drive Waikiki.
The lake looks like an awsome place for a get together n barby

Sounds like a Gathering to me, hope you all have a good day. :)
I will not be able to make it as work is not an option but a means to finance my projects.
