    Your the second to mention your doing 2200rpm at 110kph. I dunno if the stockers steel wheels/tyres are a different rolling diameter to the 17's maybe? Also when I say 110kph I mean more like 120kph on the dash, which is a tad over 110 on my GPS. That may be why, still drinks the fuel though!

    Jerome. Well! What a way to spend a Sunday! I have just read your trip blog from beginning to end & more than anything feel a great admiration for both of you. For wanting to do it, for making it happen & for ‘pushing through’ when things got tough. You & Jess both absolutely deserve each other & are so lucky to have each other. Huge respect to you both. Fantastic trip during which I was struck many times how your disability & positive attitudes actually resulted in you getting to places & seeing stuff that most people wouldn’t. You experienced so much but from my armchair it was the ‘Stans I think I enjoyed the most. I am now left wondering what happened after your last entry, & how itchy your feet are now?
