Trip in my Mighty Boy
Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2009 11:04 am
hello Everyone,
Just got home from a trip to pick up a Mighty Boy (standard) I purchsed from Newcastle.
I drove the vehicle 1300 kms home to Tassie, averaged around 350 - 400 kms per day. I averaged around 80-90kph except tor the steep hills which made her struggle a bit but there aren't to many of those on the way. I wanted to see some sites on the way so I took my time.
I drove from Newcastle to Goulburn, then from Goulburn to Albury, Albury to Port Melbourne to get the ferry to Tassie and drove from Devonport to Hobart (approx. 300 kms). It did it a lot quicker than I expected. Never missed a beat apart from Tassie when it actually started to ice up the carby but a quick flick of the winter switch on the air cleaner fixed that.
all in all a great trip.
Ron
