Cm was that you lurking over the back fence yesterday..... I thought I could hear someone rustling around in the bushes.
Hmmmm note to self...make sure area is sheltered before doing sun strip in back yard.

Thanks for the tip Julian.

It wasn't me lurking in the bushes but I heard that Julian was skulking around somewhere.

I am sure you will catch up every couple hundred k's when JM stops for gas/petrol

:shock:Every 420kms if you don't mind !!!!!!
(if I stay under 130kmh, )

If you stay under 130 Jacfan would be able to keep up

PS How much does it take to fill up after 420kms (I assume that 420kms is just a theoretical figure. I just cant picture you actually doing it!)

Harumph I have done it many........twice
70 usable litres of Optimax

I love my little car.... it is just the right size for me. Economical to run and even if it is not as fast as some it is ok... saves me getting done for speeding. Not my perfect car but good.

You'll do it again if you go up for Indy.

Sigh, yes. There will be speed cameras behind every second tree
But if I went west and watched it on the Big Screen in the "Nevertire" Pub..........

I was getting around 420-450 out of my 65L or so tank on a trip out west. Spent an awful lot of money on that trip, just on petrol. I was being very cautious though and filling up whenever I could. Running out of petrol in the middle of the Hay Plains is never a good idea and I was happy to avoid it.

Some of us carry a couple of jerrycans of fuel
Incidentally, on the Hay Plains, a highway cop sitting on the roof of his 4 wheel drive can get you with his speed camera at 3kms

Yeah, thank god for cruise control. I will think about the jerry cans next time. I did have around 600kg's of stone on the back so it would be hard to push.
