Yep damn it! I staked a Khumo on the third day on the inside wall. I Put 2 plugs in her and drove for 3 more days until it started leaking. Re plugged it and got another day. Was adding air for 2 days.
Got to Big Red and dropped the pressure from 25 in the back to 14psi. Took it's toll I think. Reinflated to 25 for the trip into Birdsville and got into high range for the first time in a week. (have not seen above 15km/h all week) and hit 40 on the corrigations and the plugs split and tore the inside and blew to tyre. 100m on the corrigations did the rest. 1 destroyed Khumo.

Got some great pics and shot a heap of great Video with your windscreen cam mate. i have to try and collate it into a video package and then embed it here. I will have to spend a little time figuring out how to embed single AVI files here for a taste though??? do i need to send them to photobucket first?
