    The big lap.

    It requires meticulous planning, premium roadside assistance coverage, a complete list of dealer addresses, new fully accessorised large four wheel drive, towed accommodation with every conceivable convenience, eperb, sat phone and star link.
    Or a second hand Citroen and a ton of faith.



    The little car didn't even have A/T tyres.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    And, in 1925 when the first trip was done, imagine the roads... or lack of them.

    Too many people ‘think’ they need a new or nearly new vehicle to do this trip

    That's Lang and Bev, Jerry. I'm sure I've put a link up, about the trip.

    In 2011 we met these two cars in Innamincka. They were on their way back from Cape York.

    I couldn't find your post Ian

    Andy Lambert of Classic Car Tracker in UK sent a composite of the trip so far from the daily tracking points. The tracker will be on again from Darwin and if you look back in these posts you will see how to track the Bean live minute by minute across Australia.

    Of course it is turned off now as it sits in a container on the dock in Singapore awaiting the Darwin ship.
