Hey mate. MSA 4x4. If you do a Google search for MSA 4wd bras you'll find them.

Does anybody know how long it would take to get from the LAKELAND turnoff to the tip straight up the main road? A mate reckons he did it in 4 to 5 hours.
No side tracks taken.

Hey mate - Lakeland to the tip is just shy of 750kms? Doing it in 5 hours would mean he was travelling at 150kms per hour? Or are you talking from a different spot?
