  1. 700-2
Hi everyone, Happy New Year.
I am in Perth Western Australia and have just bought a new 700/2. They are pretty hard to get here, waiting list, so I grabbed it while I had the chance, a bit like buying your own Christmas present!
I am fitting a few bits and pieces, windscreen, winch etc. Also plan to fit some sort of dual battery system in the near future.
Right now I have made a box template out of MDF that fits under the bonnet in the void space on the right hand side. I figure I can place a couple of shackles and a web sling in there. I will use this template to make up the box with ali or galvanised steel.

Welcome from Northern California. I celebrated the 1972 New Year in Perth. Very friendly people there. I was stationed in Exmouth for 2 years.

Nice place Exmouth. i think the US base is gone now, no need for Omega Nav anymore for your submarines I would guess. You guys left a few nice cars when you posted home.
I ordered a brand new Yamaha 250 DT-1 and rode it all over the place up there. Also rode it to Canarvon and raced it. Made some good friends (mates) there.

Welcome from Ohio.
I lived 5 years in Alice, I was high school age when we came back to the states.
That was back in 1975~80.
Trying to convince the wife we should take a year and do the lap when I retire.
