Little Red

[Big Red]

I bought Little Red for the princely sum of $1300.00 purely to enter the Cape York Misers Challenge and had intended to sell it as soon as we got back.
Its not very powerful, has no room to rest your feet and is VERY uncomfortable to drive any distance... but its now Red :mrgreen:


I bought it, repainted it, got it registered and on the road for the grand total of $2301.00

I took it up to the most Northerly point of mainland Australia at Cape York without any problems at all.

Then because it had gone so well I took it to the most Easterly point of mainland Australia at Cape Byron and continued down to the the most Southerly point of mainland Australia at South Point on Wilsons Promontory also visiting the highest point of mainland Australia at Mt Koskiousko as well as Victoria's and New South Wales's highest waterfalls.

Because the Klunker had gone so well i decided to try and make it to the most Westerly point of mainland Australia at Steep Point inside of a year !!
