    It carried something like 250 litres of fuel under the rear deck.
    It was a Three part story in one of the big off road mags of the time.
    The bloke in Melbourne who is now the haffie guroo had a good acticle done on his first haffie when he won armoural show and shine contest in one of the big off road mags of the time.
    His haffy had a lot off good mods.
    Then there was the bloke who fitted a Mazda rotary into one.
    I was learning to drive my dads haflinger at the time and was totally mad on them.........I still have a lot of that stuff stored away somewhere, but would take me a month of Sundays to find it.
    Is it Attila Kiraly?
    This bloke in the article below?

I just checked Malcolm Douglas' website and they don't have "Follow The Sun" available, pity as I consider it his second best after "Across The Top".

    Mike.
    On my tablet I cannot read all of the acticle clearly.
    The name is most likely correct.
    I though the time would have been later.
    I do remember the bloke dropped a valve on the haflinger in the desert and changed the height of the oil level in the rocker cover by extending a pipe to keep the valve cooler.
    He visited diasey springs or Dalhousie springs on one of his trips ????
    Over lander magazine??????????????????.
