Here is my fuel figures for the trip. Andy Darren and I filled up at the same place each time and Andy always put about 2L more than me and Darren's was a bit more than that with the 35s (and a lead foot haha)
I am very happy with those figures being fully loaded.
5097kms in 13 days
I will try get my photos up tomorrow.

That head wind was bullshit... we had to sit on 90km/h to keep temps under control because we were working our cars so much harder than usual.
I want to especially thank my 2nd best friend, Zach (MudrunnerJR). He was the only kid (besides AB) for most of the trip and he was so well behaved and kept himself amused the whole time. The trip would not have been the same without him calling me a wanker and telling AB to get a big black one up ya... bwahaha! Good on you Zach, you are a very lucky boy to have your Dad take you all around ouback Australia on swag trips like he does. How many other kids have done the Simpson Desert twice before they are 10?

Stropp tried to buy friendship and I don't know what you did to knock me from the number 1 position but I will find out!!

Send my condolences to all you travellers suffering from post trip syndrome. I feel your pain.
Only way to ease your suffering is to share loads of photos and stories of your escapades, dish a little dirt and break rule number one!
We are here for you....
Cheers

Welcome back can only do your motors a world of good, and cleaned it right out.
Let us know if you feel any difference once things settle down
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
I made a big mistake this trip and that was not bringing a spare air filter. My air filter was so clogged it was disgusting and I was majorly down on power on the home stretch.
