    Sucker for punishment trip log

    Hey guys

    I guess I'm a bit of a sucker for P38's, so I've bought another one :-) I fly to Sydney today to pick it up, and like I did for the other two P38's I've had, I'm driving it home!

    It's roughly a 3,000km trip, going inland this time to visit family along the way, even so, I'm going to be doing all 3,000 of those kms in 3 days!

    Will post updates along the way and pics when I get home (can't post pics with my phone).

    Cheers
    Keithy

    Having done this a few times (albeit not for a P38) I'm looking forward to following this

    Steve

    I would have thought 3 p38's would mean no money at all!

    Best of luck with the trip, will be watching with interest.

    Landed in Sydney at 1800hrs, met Rob at the airport and made it (in style) to just south of Nowra for night one.

    Two observations so far!

    - LPG is about 30c/l cheaper in Sydney than Townsville, and the new P38 runs amazing on it (new to me).

    - It's freaking cold here! I'm two-finger typing as I can't bend my thumb far enough to use the keypad properly!

    Off to Wee Waa after smoko tomorrow.

    P.S. The exhaust note is fantastic!

    Cheers

    It will be interesting to hear of your overall fuel economy.

    We got to Wee Waa at about 2100hrs last night. It was a big day, nothing for the Rangie :-)

    I haven't sat down and done the hard and fast numbers yet, but I believe between the LPG and standard fuel tank I have a fuel range of about 900km realistically. Mind you, we've been driving a touch quicker than the posted speed!

    Off to Emerald shortly. 5 degrees overnight here makes the trip north sound so much more appealing!

    Cheers
