It reminds me how on Stockton Beach the only cabooses that could not crest the dune were petrol. In this case, the drivers were very experienced, so we can't put it down to driver error either . At least one of those drivers is now in a diesel.
Bring it .

If you're talking about me...
a. not in a diesel yet (but flying to Syd tomorrow for the final deal )
b. It was beacase of mechanical issues that I didn't want to push my luck... thankfully now, a new mechanic and a fresh set of eyes and the problem was fixed.
c. if you're not talking about me... what I've written above will self destruct in 10 sec

I'm just not happy I can't make it to the 2012 GTG to quell all the banter, if the situation changes look out for a white 150 with personalized Qld plates stalking the groups
See ya on the tracks, Richo.

On a serious note, would a Queensland attendee with some space PM me re transporting sponsor gifts please. You need to be honest, reliable, and trustworthy. (jesus, who am I kidding, I have more chance of getting Elle MacPhearson to call me).
Anyway, maybe there is an attendee that's not actually a real Queenslander but lives there under duress
Thanks

I was going to get a second opinion on whether you were trustworthy enough Rev, but the rest of the committee may mistake the response from you a second time as a stutter[B][COLOR=blue]Bitumen: A blatant waste of taxpayers money![/COLOR][/B]

If we know how far the LPGs can get, we can plan a stop that suits everyone in the group.
Obviously things would be easier if we were all diesels, as we could fill up at Bendleby at the start, and then at Beachport at the end. The thirsty petrols are holding up the rest of the group!!!
So we had figured that if we top up with lpg at Jamestown and then travel to Orroroo on petrol where we'd top up again, we should then be able to complete Bendleby and make it to Peterborough/Burra without topping up again (although there is always Orroroo on the way back out for petrol) before heading to Loxton.Last edited by WOZCLEAN; 21-06-2012, 11:26 PM.[B]2003 GXL Burgundy Dual Fuel Prado[/B]
