Over the week before Easter to the Wednesday after Easter I did almost 2000km, most of it with six on board, plus gear and supplies for Easter and towing a trailer with some of the gear including four bikes, cot, pram etc.
Average fuel consumption just over 11litres/100km. Almost all on-road, but some severe corrugations.
Problems? Trailer stop light stopped working due to dust in the plug. Not too bad for a car twenty years old with over 410,000km on the clock and only routine repairs and maintenance.
Week before Easter at my son's in Yass and Easter at River Valley Nudist Resort.

Yeah I travelled some pretty fierce corrugations on the weekend too.
I stopped at the end to admire a light house and when I started again the 'olV8 was missing and coughing a little :?
A few revs and that was the last I heard of it. Despite the kms we did and the dust and dirt she performewd faultlessly.
Probably didn't want to look bad in front of the new Terracan I was cruising with :wink:
