Least that's what you believe if you follow one
You're confusing mechanical issues and preservation with straight out choice.... :DQuote:

Plenty of them do 80-90 until the straight sections then get confident and speed up till the next bendy bit... Stops anything from passing safely.
As mentioned earlier, if the tug and taj combo is not balanced to enable travel at 95-100kmh then should it be on the road?
If the driver is incapable of comfortably controlling a vehicle at the national limit; should they be driving?
Is a 0.5-1.0l per hundred saving worth the stress and hazards imposed by going 80km/h?
And for Chucaro - I have been charged with impeding the flow of traffic whilst driving at 140km/h :) if you don't move you're breaking the law...
I am curious as to why your Deefer was getting hot, I'm guessing you werent towing the mother of all campers at 3500-4000kg, thereby pushing the towing limit of your Defender, so I can only assume its a mechanical issue of some form, most likely a partially blocked radiator, which given regular checks and maintenance should have been found.
Some might consider it foolhardy to depart on a lengthy trip to areas off the beaten track without making sure your vehicle isnt going to let you down....
Geez,what has this thread come to.Quote:
