500+ km round trip.

Why wouldnt it...?

I often see on this forum people stating how they are amazed that their dub made it "there and back"........500 klicks, why would it not as GottaSplit said, A couple of years ago I made an off the cuff comment to some people that I'd like to take my buggey to WA, they all, without exception laughed at the idea, with bets that if I did then I'd be catching the bus home, wish I had taken the bets, there and back, 3 months and 15,000 k's without a hitch, almost, one very small problem in Perth that took about one hour to fix with negligable cost. Every time I'd see a "modern" vehicle stopped on the side of the road with the bonnet up I'd stop to see if I could help, invariably it was a computer problem. Looking at a trip to the apple isle next year, just have to get a better sleeping bag, but no chance of taking anyone up on a bet, their very quiet in their criticism.
BTW, love the colour of your square, looks like a nice car, more pics would be good.

Never worried about taking my kombi anywhere, and it never let me down.

just don't tell too many people where Callala Beach is......it's heaven to me.
