jiffo Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Don't you guys watch the news. With all the recent rain those roads are rooted. Stick it on a transporter, let them take the potholes.

polishstorm Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Chris Rodgers must have been walking for it to take 22hrs to Canberra. That drive is 12.5-14 hours max. Quickest I have done bne to Canberra is 10.5hrs at night. Left at 7pm got there at 5.30 to Dickson shell servo. BTW did you used to live there cause I used to know a Chris Rodgers that lived in Florey??? He was building an escort... I just did the drive melb to bris. Took 21 hours non stop (apart from fuel, toilet breaks) driving the pacific hwy. pacific Hwy is a much better route due to sceanery to keep mind active, the fact you have people traveling the route all hours if you have an emergency someone will see you within a few mins and more than half is dual carriage way so makes it safer.

I did the run from CBA - blarney -> dubbo -> tamworth -> bne. that was a rep run for the business. if I had done a straight shot then 13 -14 hrs would be about right. I was talking to people along the way. met myself a few times now. do not know that person.

coaster Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 lol $500 ? my fuel cost no more than $300. my gtr was totally stock and never modded tho. $300 included shitloads of coffee too !!! lay off the gas and u will be laughin. u can only go so fast through coonabarabran, cowra and the likes anyway as there are so many roos wombats and rabbits. Mate thats why we were having a discussion about high powered cars. I already said my car had a really rich tune so i think you maybe made yourself look like a bit of a tool here. i said to the OP it all depends about his fuel consumption and gave him the tools to work it out. There wont be many cars out there getting economy like mine. There was no need for it to be so rich.
