Where is Everyone

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

out the drive, up the road, to stc???
The Hino went like a train .... lots of black smoke out the exhaust :lol: Besides trying to launch us into space of the black top Victoria loosely refer to as highways, the Hino pulled the tailer well and maintained quite a good pace without overheating, so fairly happy all round. A few more adjustments to the fuel rack to reduce the smoke and improve the fuel economy a bit more and all should be well for the Taggerty trip and then on to Sydney for the big court battle.

Well, besides the fuel smoke issue the Hino went well, no breakdowns at all. Did run out of fuel 20 mtrs from the servo in Swan Hill but I'll blame that idiot woman in the Google Maps phone app for sending us around nearly every back street in Kerang on the way through .... yet still never found the Woolies servo. Turns out Kerang doesn't actually have a Woolies servo by the look of it :roll: We did get an excellent wood fired pizza from a roadside set up beside the exservo club in Kerang so it wasn't a total loss.

It is now well beyond lifting the foot a little Brian, can't even get it to move without a cloud of smoke so I'm thinking it is an injector problem ... either that or I adjusted the pump the wrong way :? We get 500km per tank generally without running out of fuel so I'm not pushing it that hard, you said when you drove it you only got 5km/ltr and we are doing a bit better than that towing the trailer.

Ah yes but a little trailer old son.
The little blue beast was built strong (like a brick S* house ) but the white big brother held a lot more of very valuable "POSSESSIONS" LOL
Though I did help this trip to hold her down on the trip home with my contribution to the weight which I thank you for. Anyone coming west from NSW VIC in about 3 months or so and needing ballast I could be looking for more HAHA
