    We travel a lot in our series three swb and really enjoy it, but we try not to do any more than 400 kays max in a day and preferably stay around the 300 mark. Our vehicle is very basic and standard other than a 3.54 diffs, holden donk and a roverdrive which all conribute to reducing the cabin noise. A big long distance day in a series is ok, but you really don't want to have to do it all over again the next day...and the next!

    Have a fun and safe trip.
    If you are passing through here you are most welcome to a feed and bed.

    Cheers Mick.

    We did just over 600kms coming back from glenreagh in the s3 in a day. but I do agree 300kms is more comfortable

    I am now trying to talk hh into coming as well, since he doesn't work for an employer anymore, he can work his jobs around some time off

    OR I could fly, but not so keen on that

    Your head says 'Red' but your heart says 'Zara'. If you are just trying to get from a to b in the shortest possible time, then Red. If you are happy to travel less KM each day and stop and sell the roses, the Zara.

    As Chops says though - say hi to us when you're down.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Talking

    Awesome,,
    We'll Carolyn, seems then that we should have a little "get together",, time permitting of course. So maybe your girls could find a Pub or something in your area, and then we can get some numbers and book it out

    I only hope your girls will let us steel away some of your attention for a short time during the evening. We promise they'll have a fun night too

    Leeanne says "Hi" too.
