Cograts on the big trip in a somewhat un-tested car. Goes to show that the Grey can still cover great distances without a whole lot of trouble. And what a way to see this country of ours roll by. 8) I'm especially impressed considering it had to tow a trailer of spares that distance as well. 8) 8) 8) 8)

When i picked up my car, i flew over to Adelaide, SCK picked a mate and i up at the airport and drove home. What a great way to get to know your "New" car. Loved every minute of the drive and would do it again tomorrow.

Well done on the wagon pick up.

Cheers Paul

Cheers fella's :)
There was a bit of weight in the trailer,
2x grey motors
2x gear box's
Diff
2x front ends
Sub frame
And other odds and ends in trailer and stacked in the car

We sat on about 90kmh most the way, felt comfitable at that speed,
Not that other moterests felt the same!!

I am really happy the way she drove, really got to get rid of the floor shift!!!
Kept going for the leaver on the column! :oops:
All in all it cost me under $1k to get her home :D
wanker????
