Heya folks... long overdue... some fotos of my i30 along Stuart Highway towards Hay.
http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8SZtWzVi0Y4gLesson learnt (newbie):-
- Never Bring fruits when travelling, I never ate so many fruit in a go and threw out so many... feeling really guilty.
- really careful when driving at night. In the pics, you can see a dent on the rear left door was caused by an "encounter" with the beloved (or late) Roo. I was really careful and make the swerve, the unlucky roo hitted the car at the side. You can see some black/brown mark along the wheel arc. Thank God for ESP. After that, I followed behind a truck. The lesson is you can be ever so viligant but it hit you when you least expect it. That was on Hume highway towards Campeltown around mignight. Not even dusk/dawn when they are expected to roam. In a flash, I saw a roo jumping towards me on the front left 45deg field. No chance of avoiding. A thud and what can I do?
Fuel economy was great with Vortex Diesel. I did 25litres covering 474km. Stepped the throttle a lot more than I shd with in City. Took the chance to refuelled at Wagga Wagga, when I found a station with Vortex Diesel, not sure I'll seeing any of those soon.
So far the car is brilliant. In the city i can do 679km in 37 litres.
cheers.... WS
