But as you say, it is the journey not the destination. I am enjoying the process, learning something new and researching the history of the vehicles. I even bought a copy of the Leyland Brothers DVD on their 1960's across Australia journey because they were driving Series 2s.

More good reading is Across the top and anything else by Malcolm Douglas and of course Len Beadell (whom I had the pleasure of meeting in Birdsville in 1985).
