    Used less fuel on the return journey for some reason?

    Plenty of power to round up b doubles.

    D4 performed flawlessly

    Only scare was an errant roo near Ararat.
    Less fuel because its all down hill back to Melbourne

    Talking Defender Country, and why we all acknowledge each other.

    Just watched a show on TV about Australia's Iconic Places,,, all very beautiful of course, and certainly to see most of them up close and personal, you need a 4X4,,

    In all of the images I conjured up of being there,,, not once did I see myself, or anyone else, in a Disco,,, we were all there in Defenders,,

    Interesting imagination you have there Chops. Not sure what it has to do with this conversation but if it floats your boat then all is good. ...

    Must be the tail wind!! Flying Perth to Melbourne it takes a half hour less. Maybe the foot was down slightly less harder?

    I will never never post defender and discovery in this forum again, your all MAD I tell you!

    It is just fair information for people weighing up the idea of what to buy and how much you get for your money, I know you can't put a price on enjoyment,
    here is an interesting quote

    “The test of the machine is the satisfaction it gives you. There isn't any other test. If the machine produces tranquility it's right. If it disturbs you it's wrong until either the machine or your mind is changed.”
    ― Robert M. Pirsig,

    Ummmm food for though.

    Thank you for taking part in my topic

    Plenty of power to round up b doubles.

    D4 performed flawlessly

    Only scare was an errant roo near Ararat.
    August last year the son's Puma was driven non stop,three drivers in shifts from Oodnadatta to Birdsville,22 hours.
    The other vehicle in the group,a Patrol tray back was left in Cooper Pedy the day before with broken upper spring mounts.
    The Puma was overloaded as most of the gear from the Patrol was in and on the roof of the Puma.

    The deefer never missed a beat.

    Fuel economy not known,no worries with b doubles either
