Well my ute is back in Perth. Got home about 3am last night. few detail of the trip:

Measured from Melbourne CBDish to home in Northan Perth suburbs, Left Saturday night, stayed in Ararat (only ~300kms from melbs), then Cowell (between Port Agusta and Port Lincon in SA)on sunday then the rest of the way on Monday (about 2300kms).

Totals

Distance - 3483kms

Time - 35.5 hours of driving time including eating

Fuel Used - 382.3L

Cost - $513 (not including the full tank from Melbourne, cheapest was melbs, $1.44, most exp was $2.09, all premium 98)

cant say I loved it, being my 4th time across. Def not planning another. car has now clocked over 50,000kms. sad day :-(. rained all the way from the Nullarbor Roadhouse to Norseman

Video shows us leaving the Nullarbor roadhouse, filmed at 1 frame every 2 seconds, so video shows about an hour of driving. just to give you an idea of how boring the trip is. hours and hours of nothing. uploading a better one as I type

pic of my ute 2day, bit dirty from many kms in the rain

so see you all next cruse

Wow look at those white marker posts fly away from the car, think you need a tune, they are getting away from you hahaha.

Great to have you back in WA WA land dude, when do we drive 3 abreast through the tunnel then??

Bought a laptop for being on site. 8 days down 6 to go then back home. Laptop seems to have about 4 minutes of battery life (exaggerated but its sheet) so have to leave it on charge lol.

Finally being spotted around the place haha. Saw you when I was doing my medical for site Luke, wasn't sure if you had spotted me then as I was about text you I was beaten to it!

First full week pay today for being on site, its a significant change to my normal apprentice rates back in Perth haha

Now that Ford are ending the Falcon I think Ralph should grab this thurple FPV to stick in his shed, just delete the roof racks

Yes I'm looking through carsales at B series FPVs...not going to buy one, just wishing I could.

I'll grab this one, in one of my favorite blues.

PS who knows a Simon in Bicton with a black BF F6 still running original tyres! Keep it you fool!

XFT drag day was yesterday and the highlights for me were seeing

Tony's BF F6 run a [email protected] making it the fastest zf car in Aust

XFT's F6E ran a 9.8@141 with more to come

No wonder Tony took top spot at Racewars, awesome result too Ben, looks like you took that dump as well with a 10.1, you'll have to throw up next to further reduce weight, that's the extent of my drag racing advice so make the most of it.

"This is the confirmed plan:

• Meeting at Atom Supply, Pilbara Street Welshpool @ 8:30am for a 9:00am start,

• Head up the Hills to Mundaring,

• Head back down the Hill and finish at the Boab Tavern, High Wycombe, by 11:30am latest. "

I'll be going along. Maybe catch youse there.

I saw the cruise going over Tonkin intersection on welshpool road. Looks like a good turn out. Good to see the falcons out to play
