Ohhhhh, yes I did read but didn't put 2 + 2 together. Tough luck - are you safely home now?
I'm finally at my parent's place now... only took 15 hours (normally takes 3).

thats no good, did you have something to keep you warm? I've slept in the back of Legnums a few times and they are quite comfortable, but you need a sleeping bag.
No... I was rather cold. I couldn't sleep in the back because once in a while the traffic would move and I'd have to move the car (and the boot was full of stuff like jacks, oil, etc). I woke up at 2:49 to find a 100 yd gap in front of me. No one seemed to mind though.

I can't wait to see how well my ST-R does, I'm hoping for 700km's out of 50-55 litres.

Glad to know your safe Isaac. Not a nice situation, but a funny story in years to come perhaps?
It will take a while to become funny I think. Right now parent's place is without power and water. I managed to escape back to dry land yesterday.
