Scary stuff!!
I'm off tomorrow to pick up the new bus!
Then it's off on the long drive home via Melbourne to the ferry and back down to hobart, gotta dodge the rain and the rocks.
It'll be about 13hrs driving, can't wait though!!!!!!!!nn[ Edited on 1-8-2005 by 62deluxe ]
Just for something different I'll make sure I post lotsa pics of the trip🙂
Have a safe one 62deluxe

And its now 8.00am and he arrives at 12.40pm and it is pissing down.
The van has never been in the rain before.
I wonder if he could drive with a big tarp covering the whole van.
My only worry is that the seals on the screen are repro ones and are never as good as the originals and have never been tested in the rain, they all leak?
It has never leaked when it has been washed though so it should be alright.
He will have to dodge the spray from trucks on the way to Melbourne, and swerve for every stone that is thrown up.
Cheers
Dave
Cant resist my last pic as it wont be mine in 5 hours
Can't think of a better way to get to know your new baby than with a road trip. Good luck, have fun and drive safe.:thumb

Well he picked it up and drove away.
I have just had a call from him, he is half way to Melbourne and no problems, He is catching the late ferry on Sunday night to go home to Tassie.
Cheers

Woo hoo I made it!!!!!!
Survived pretty damn well for a 48year old van!!👍
Now where are those pics.............
I didn't take any pics on the first day because the weather was #%*@ and I wasn't getting out in the wind and the rain. (and they reckon Tassie is cold!!!)
Here we are at the border...
Nice, keep em coming
On the road again......
How much fun is it to drive a split...cant help but smile
And yes the speedo says 0kph
It stripped a gear late the day before.
Lucky I've got about 20 spares in the cupboard, sometimes it pays to be a hoarder.
Must've been going too quick.......
Some ugly dero stole my bus........
