That's not what you've gotta worry about. It's about what's under those shorts.

You would have hated it at work last week, high 30's, the coolest day ended up at a low 32, but humidity in the high 90's

Any one have a spare starter motor? I'm not joking :(

I can still get the thing to start, just incase it completely craps out down south.

This oven has made my life so much easier for camping...

Pastry diet coming up...lol

Benny boy and Lucas. Don't stress about cooking gear and what to take either.

Lunch is easy with us now just grab some frozen pies, good to heat up etc. even some pastys for breaky or anything you can put in the ovens we will sort you blokes out.

Plenty of fry pans around too so stress less. But yeah pastries and garlic chicken balls.... Seriously!

I made it to mum and dads. It took me 15 hours. Got 15.4L/100 abit more than I expected. But 180kg of diesel, a set of 35's camping gear, spotties, light bar and a winch plus Much more fuel, I suppose its allright. I was good to get a bit of weight on the springs, it was a more comfortable ride.
