Well today i just come back from my country Drive.

Friday (easter)
Got bored at 5.30am and jumped in Grommet with enough gear to survive winter in siberia, drove north and crossed some rivers, kept driving until the dirt went red..... kept driving until i hit a big river and a big town in the top LH corner of Vic.

Sat
Drove around and looked for places to get stuck and to self recover, sadly i could not get stuck.....chatted to other LR owners who pulled me over to ask what it was??? Der... its a LR.......

Sunday
Ate, Drank and ate some more

Monday (today)
Headed home and found some sand, some ditches and some long gravel roads. Got home and drank beer.....

As any thread is usless without Pix, here they are....

What time did you go thru Wedderburn Friday...??

About 10am i think, give or take 30 mins....

Did you see me???

the Police were setting up the Amphomter (spelling) i have not seen the old rubbers in years.

Yep went to Mildura to oil my parents drive.... and my brothers and my mates.... and the Drags...

Speaking of Drags....
My Neice has a Jnr Dragster, Well she was the 1st woman to ever oil down the Mildura Track, the engine let go in a big way, Blew the head clean off and it left the chassis in a big way, the crowd loved it, the Crew laughed, Caitlyn Cried......

But Will (nephew) won his class with a 10.73 pass

Trip was great, Back is used to the new seat now and 7 hours in the beast has me thinking about FULL CANVAS........
