    Ta Da!

    its HOME!!


    Handled the return trip without a murmur

    Only two near death experiences to speak of---

    The Skybus trip into Melbourne--

    and a LARGE roo somewhere outside Moree. My God the swerve and recover capabilities of this thing is amazing

    cost of return trip is being calculated
    as I type,, but ran on gas the whole way,, no noticeable performance hit at all,,

    now,, the figures are in,, not having ANY gas experience all I can do is say,,
    at a constant 100kph it get 18Lphk,
    or, at 74cpl it costs $53 to do 400 kays,,

    or, I filled up at Naranderra and ran out 5 kays outside Dubbo. and it took 71l to fill.

    Please feel free to correct me,,

    It feels a bit harsher than BUB002,, also sits a touch higher, has the turning circle of an ocean liner,

    Instant "I Love It!"s
    the leather steering wheel,
    the sun/moon/star roofs,
    the stereo(except it doesnt play mp3's)
    the side steps, (how can you not like side steps that have Palm trees on them??)

    Thanks go to my Tech Gurus, you know who you are
    Thanks to Nicky

    and--
    Mrs Swift is very happy,,

    Wow pedro, that is a really nice ride.

    As much as I love my 01 D2, the D2a's have that little extra something from the luxury perspective.

    I take it from the number plates that it has the two gas cylinders under the back replacing the tank. From memory I have seen that D2 down at range Rov at some point.

    If you got that for under $20k that's a steal.

    All the best with your new ride, I know it will be the best outcome after the loss of your last D2.

    Cheers
