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!

Hey Keith,

Glad your enjoying the fruits of my labour. It was a pleasure to meet you and mum at the airport, sorry about the cold...

The wife said, when I got home at "2.00am" (you know what I'm talking about, work..) its not right someone else is driving "Hoover", but I look forward to hearing more of her adventures. As you know we are going over to the dark side ( first time in 30 years ) with a brand new Prado to haul our Ultimate xtrak, we will definitely stop in on our way to the top. I'll be following your posts with interest, good luck and happy P38ing with "Hoover".


Rob

Safe travels Keithy.

Welcome to the 3 club!

Do you have matching colours?

Three pigs in a row!

Thanks fellas and thanks Rob! It was an absolute pleasure to finally meet you, and the time, care and effort you've put into Hoover really does show! Such a pleasure to drive!

So I've got two P38's in the driveway now, instead of stopping at Emerald yesterday we decided to continue on home (1,600-odd kilometers). No dramas along the way except passing 3 officers of the law within 100km after crossing the QLD border, and three rabbits inspected the tyres once the sun went down.

Once I've given her a wash I'll nab a side-by-side pic of the two rangies!

Cheers
Keithy

Good to hear you are back safe mate

Steve

A side-by-side pic!


I nabbed a few pics, but for some reason my phone didn't remember that I took them, so this is the only one I've got! They are both in standard height.

I'll add a pic of the new P38 after a bath!






Cheers
Keithy
