I vote that they get to do at least one trip a year that is documented here for our entertainment..

Thanks Sue for the comments. I am sure there will be a few more photos to add in the coming week after they get back. I too, have enjoyed the ride as I am sure they have to.

An awesome story. I wish my wife could drive a manual so I could send her off on the same adventure to visit her family in Melbourne. I guess you can't answer this, but, are you more excited at seeing the new truck, or catching up with the wife? Thanks for the entertaining story.

Interesting you say that. One of the girls can not drive a manual but I guess out on the Nullabor is as good a place as any to learn. Reports back is that she did an awesome job.

Absence does make the heart grow fonder and it will be great to have them home safe and sound...... but she is bringing a Defender home.........

It is a win win situation really.

My girlfriend doesn't even have a license. Currently we own 2 Land Rovers and live inner city.

Or should I say, I bought 2 Land Rovers and she lets me drive her places.

You need to work on that Judo
While its definitely quite doable to live inner city without a license, its a big country out there and IMO so much better if you can both drive.
And when you buy MORE LR's, she can do the delivery drives with her mates so everyone is happy

If she's never driven a manual get her out somewhere isolated/open in the County. Easy to learn basic clutch control in something slow/lumbering that you have to try REALLY hard to stall.

Mate, you have it easy.
My Girlfriend is a die hard toyota fan, who's come closer to rolling the Phantom (On her own driveway) than I have in my offroading pursuits.
Add to that she bags me out for driving an auto ( I can drive a manual just fine ).
At least I can reverse a trailer
Still, she puts up with me so I guess I can't complain

Waiting waiting
Due home around 5ish. Will have Champagne and glasses on the bucket when nearer.
