    Well after the weekend in the bush all is well, a few stoppages, needed to bleed the fuel system up each time, found the CAV filter blocked, My fault as I pulled it off a wreck and didn;t fit a new filter, it was on the list, but.........

    It seems good to drive, can punt along the road and bush on the pace, but a little bit more painful, when following 2 V8 auto's in the slow bush stuff, damn them and their torque convertors and auto transmissions, but that easy fixed, go infront and set the pace, so a don;t have to keep changeing gears

    listening to my mates 5l GQ in the snow made me sad

    Went up the scrub again on the weekend up the back of licola, near 500kays for the trip, copped a pizzling all weekend, having to show 4.8L petrol 5 speed auto patrols, you not all that slow does that

    14.6l/100kms

    The LT95 shats me off, an auto would be quicker and more pleasureable and it sounds like a fart in a can, the whistle is cool but, but when I fill up with that sort of economy, it makes me feel all the better, especially when I couldn;t have given it any harder of a time

    The 6,2 chev diesel I had, driven in much the same manner was around 22l/100............don't ask about the petrols I;ve had

    So all in all, its going nicely, except for 2 new golf ball size dents in my rear upper quarter panel

    Any plans to stick a PTO winch on it?, make it close to unstopable!, electric are well known for their limitations although the 8274 are the pick of the bunch.
