Ok maybe we should try and get an event arranged for a long weekend, especially if some have to travel. If it is only the locals, then one good place not to far to strike out to is Lithgow state forest and we are not far from Stockton.. or maybe a weekend in one of the wine regions with the odd off road bit thrown in  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

Hi Zilch and others,
Sorry forgot to mention mine is TDV8. Also indicated ltrs/100 is a little optomistic but even so!
Zilch view from your plot is not so bad! Where is it?

Jools, It is right on the border between Cannonvale and Airlie.. as you drop down out of airlie into Cannonvale, first left and up the side of the hill..a new development, just commissioned the architect to get going on the concepts. From the 2nd story when the development is finished i will have uninterrupted views right out to double cone which is due east, round to grimstone point (north-ish), pioneer bay, to the valley to catch the sunsets.. excellent The ground floor views which i took from the plot are not shonky at all either and are mostly the westerly / north westerly view

Cheers

I'm in

Filled up with Diesel on Sunday, on my way to the city. Zeroed the trip etc. and added the usual amount of 2 stroke. Drove 105km, mainly freeway at 100-110 then down to 80 in roadworks on the final 20km into the city.

There are only 3 sets of lights between the freeway and my house. Trip computer said 6.9lit/100km, that's the lowest reading I have ever seen and is over 40mpg in British money. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

2 stroke and 6.9, sounds like you have a moped  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

Guys,

Find the post about adding 2 stroke oil to your diesel. About 300ml per tank. You'll get about a 15% improvement in fuel economy. I've been using it now in about 5 tanks and my economy has improved on my 3 1/2 hour drive to Mudgee by about 4 MPG. 2006 Black/Alpaca, Hi Ice, Dynamic Pack, 19" wheels, Clear Pack...

i recently got the fuel economy down to 4.7 l/100km
air con was off. i was doing 90, behind an Aus post truck... Toyota Corolla...((((
