Ah...leaving your mark in the countryside. Good way of keeping blow flies away from the sensitive bits in summer.

Beautiful photos
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

How the hell are you keeping your car so clean?
I expected it to look rust-coloured by now with at least 3mm of rust coloured dust on it.

Great photos, keep 'em coming.

Ahhhh, there's where I spend the rest of my time..... :roll:

Looking at the train management system those three are on thier way to Perth due to arrive today.

Loving the pics mate, looks like you're having a great time with good weather for it! :wink:

after I took the photo I shot video on the train and it took 3 minutes of filming so it had a long haul on.

forgot to mention so far the most I have paid per litre for 98 was $1.82 and i'd be getting 30 or better mpg or whatever the conversion is.
I know the backpack does slow the car down a bit in outright pick up as once its off you can notice the effect dramatically.
cruising at 110kph with pack on -6 on the digital boost meter=without pack -9 to 11 so indicates a little resistance
