    I'm HOME!!!

    Got in about 6:45 this morning with the 130.

    Hardest bit of the trip was driving through inner Sydney with a car trailer that is wider than the lanes.
    We also saw a small truck pulled over by the cops near Golburn. Once we got close it turned out it was a fully loaded small truck (It's tray would have fitted the 130) on a car trailer being towed by a heavily loaded Classic Rangie. I think the Rangie's wheels were sort of touching the ground.
    At least our tow vehicle kept it's wheels on the ground even if it was a Rodeo.

    That's why I'll (un)happily pay the toll for the M2 and M7 to skirt Sydney when towing a car trailer.

    The trip into the heart of Sydney was unavoidable for them, they had to pick up parts form Annandale.

    Yep. Would have happily avoided driving from annandale across the bridge and out to the F3. At least most vehicles realised how big we were. Pedestrians were the worst.

    That great - a Rodeo - hmmm - a bit small to tow your truck - what happened with the old Range Rover tow option being considered earlier in the week.

    Now the hard bit starts - getting your truck on the road.

    I hope it all goes well.

    Rangie no start. There is a short in the wiring. If you bridge the starter it wirs but the throw out doesn't seem to be working.
    This plus the fact that the rodeo has been modded to tow heavy loads convinced me to just do it.
