Well, in August I went for a bit of a drive, roughly 8000k's, in a round trip from Perth, across the Simpson, and back. (Puma was faultless by the way :) ).

Anyway, here goes.....

Excellent.....not long till we set off on our trip. See you in Aus sometime (hopefully) in 2013....

Jealous....this month, yes

.......next month, not so much as thats when we set off.

Agree. Truck in action and in places not normal for a Land Rover are what we are here for. That and to ask the stupidest questions we can think of.........
