Default Re: 34 trip

later start today as only 250 or so klms t mackay.
The model Ts were at the same servo this morning, but an hour before,so we never saw them as they were heading to Charters towers and us to mackay.
The drive to mackay was through the heart of the coal mining area,this is sure large scale operations.
I don't know how we are supposed to wean off this stuff, we sure have plenty, and the best quality.
Back in Mackay now, 4235 miles todate,another 280 to get back home for me on wednesday
the 34 has used no oil the gearbox or rear axle,probably a couple litres in the engine
It's currently in the carport with maybe a couple drops under the engine.
But ,it sure needs a wash.
I have spent 1/2 hr picking the butterfly and hoppers from the radiator
