17th Nov will suit me wonderfully (now to get SWMBO to disappear long enough to rub out the hoped-for scratch marks and minor dings). Where to meet and what time?

I cannot plan that far ahead. If it is ok, I will confirm closer to the time. 
It would be great to play, and from what I hear, Harvey is great, especially after some rains. Lotsa mud.
Cheers,

As my photo moniker shows, I will probably not be able to attend the upcoming Harvey trip as planned.  At least no one was hurt and the airbags didn't trigger (but I have no idea why not). The fabulous D3 brake system pulled me to a stop quickly and exactly where I wanted to be, but alas, the oncoming Hilux wasn't so sophisticated and we were driving on those wonderful Perth hills "ball bearing" gravel roads. He also had on a nice fishing rod holder which slotted the gap to the radiator perfectly. I did want to get the radiator fluid changed sometime in the next few months - I guess someone else will be paying for a new radiator and the fluid. I'll let people know how long the repairs are.

That's a bummer, DingMark! Hope you get it fixed and back on the road soon!
Hilux's are shocking things to drive. The rear end has a mind of it's own. Have a nice day!

Dingmark - I feel for you - nothing worse than seeing your D3 all bent-up. Hope all okay and no one hurt? Can agree with you about those perth hills - we came over a crest and almost ran over an x-trail on the weekend.
RichardK et al - will have to sit out the forthcoming Harvey trip as have an all day bucks party on that day. Hope you all have a lot of fun and look forward to tagging along on the next one.

Not a problem BlackPerth, we will cater for the standard D3, you will find it very capable and while there you can view the accessories that I know Disco 4x4 and I have fitted which covers your requirements
