750 kms EACH WAY thats 1500 kms all up. and I do it on 3 tanks of fuel. so thats 1500 kms and 135 lts fuel, = err! pretty good going.

having new tyres for my fronts(from egged ones) made the car soo smooth which i know will have a good impact on my fuel economy. I remember driving down from brissy, it took 2hrs to consume 1 bar which is roughly 150~200k's of constant 100km/h so hopefully ill get that figure to and from dwaynes plus leeway lower it from potential spirited driving with fellow fto's.

Yeah, I have new tyres on ours to, as well as lighter rims.
Tempted to put the carbon on purely for weight reduction purposes, but reallllly dont want a defect.

best I can do is pump my tyres up and hope for the best

Yeah, I hear ya on that.. I have done Gerringong rides in the wet, and that is still a fair bit short of Dwayne's place... But, I don't mind riding in the rain ... Made myself get use to it ..

I will be going into work Friday first thing to pick up the meat for the BBQ, then back home to pack the car. If all go's well I will be on my way down to Dstocks by 12:00

How's the weather down there Dwayne?

Post by **dstocks** » Wed Apr 07, 2010 10:01 pm

Fine atm. Forcast is for isolated showers Sat and Sunday, so shouldnt be too bad. Have backup plans in place anyway. Another forcast says no rain Saturday, with a little Sunday morning. Either way, things are looking pretty good really.

Cheers Aza. So do we need to bring any food like bread, sauce and snacks etc? Or just the beer?

Astron_Boy · Post by **Astron_Boy** » Thu Apr 08, 2010 11:33 am

I'm packing sauce. :wink, wink:
seriously though, I'll bring some ketchup, and wine, part from that, last year it was all sorted.
Will throw a bit of cash toward Dwayne and Azas way for the bread and meat as they supplied it all last year.

Post by **aza013** » Thu Apr 08, 2010 11:34 am

For the rest of the food and so on when every one gets down to Dstocks we will work out what we need and then do a run to the shops.

Ahhh, but this site is generally much more accurate for where I am:

http://www.yr.no/place/Australia/New_So ... /Currowan/

And before anyone says anything, yet it is in norway. Funny thing is the measurement point is closer to me than any of the australian sites and is generally more accurate!
