    A Quick Cruise 20-10-2010

    Been a bit busy of late, so I'd thought I'd get the car out of the shed and take it on a small cruise .... The route >> http://tinyurl.com/2avabvz.

    10days prep should see us ready to go. There is a 1000km section and a 1800km section where there is no 98RON fuel, so we'll drag an extra 220litres of fuel with us during these legs.

    This is a 9week cruise and with a couple of off the beaten track detours which should see us covering about 14,000km, after we finish this we'll need a holiday so we're going to spend a few weeks in the Maldives relaxing, total time off work 14weeks

    And to make the preparations even a little more hectic, I get married next Saturday....

    I'll update the thread with cruise pictures as/when we have internet access, if you don't see any updates, don't stress as we'll be in some extremely remote areas

    Sounds like a fun time, I'd love to do something like that!
    If I'm replying to your thread and helping you out, it is because I like you and want to help out your VR-4 ownership. No other reason

    So the car is being prepped for the trip, which includes a Full Service, new 1200kg Tow Hitch has been fitted.

    Electric Trailer Brakes Controller, Anderson Plug. Twin Battery Solenoids are being installed in the car in the morning

    We've purchased this trailer/fuel tanker/hotel to accomodate the extra 220litres of PULP fuel, additionally where we are going there is vast areas where no accomodation is available.

    Just saw the route! Wowser!

    Save some time for the Ningaloo reef! I drove the west coast and east coast in 2003. Still to date one of the best adventures of my life! The west coast was the best due to its remoteness and not so many backpackers!

    That looks awesome - can't wait for the pics. We had our honeymoon in the Maldives - no room for a VR-4 though...

    That is very well done Kat In that 1800km section with no 98 octane you'll have about 280 litres of fuel, I'm sure that will be more than enough even with the trailer in tow.

    Congrates, looks like fun =)

    But what is wrong with using 95?

    I did the "I DO" and now I'am from this day forward - Mrs. Moore

    Was a awesome day !! The weather played with our minds and challenged our faith, but the sun came to life and celebrated our day!!! Blah blah blah, basically i had the best day of my life and i can't wait to share the rest of it with Mr. Moore.

    Sorry I don't have more pics as all the photo's are in raw format with the photographer.

    http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/w...jpg?1287260445

    I'll add photo's in this post once I have them...

    Anyway, in a few days we'll start our lil cruise, so get your popcorn and we'll share the adventure!!!
