I felt like going for a drive, and well...
On Tuesday morning, I felt like going for a drive (from Wollongong) in the barge.

Later that evening, I checked into a motel in Shepparton.

The following morning, I took a drive to Bendigo and then decided to come home.

I arrived home last night shortly after 11pm.

As I was getting close to home, I thought that I would've been close to travelling 1,000 miles on this trip. Well, I was close. When I checked the milage, I'd traveled 999 miles in 2 days.

Now the car is due for a service. I hate it when that happens...

BTW, the car ran great.

Glad I'm not paying the fuel bill in the Camaro on that trip Chris.

From memory it took Chris 3 tanks to drive from Mt Eliza to Heathcote a few years ago.

At that rate he'll need a fuel tanker to tag along.

Yeah I do recall and thought that was dedication rather than towing it.

that drive was 227 there, same home....$380 in fuel

Buick will be tagging along, Ross will come with me, we've already discussed loading up the Buick with Jerry Can's and nothing else. Buy on a cheap day, load it up with say 300-400 litres of fuel. My estimate is $2K to $2500 to drive it. That or ship and I think I'd rather drive it
