Yeah I didn't think Trent was really there..


Well said!! And she's got a good ass, too..

Oh btw to Trent and Coxy, how many C's does maca have in it?

Well I Thought it was Macca as in Macca's as in a rare treat for you farm types.....

Too easy Trent, thanks anyway.

Awesome photos guys!
Looks like you had a great day.

Treza, I took this pic last weekend after I had been up to Sydney in the city. Filled up the day before with BP.
I love my TDI...hehe





Mind you that once you get on the freeway its basically just cruising along in sixth for most of the journey. Although 1/4 of that trip was in heavy city traffic.
The last big trip I did with the family was down to Canberra via the Kings Highway. Its got lots of bends, windy roads, mountains and hills etc. I averaged 5.9L and I wasn't playing around. Its amazing how the TDI engines perform yet can keep the economy down as well.

Although I've gotta say, the higher economy in the R is worth it for the sound...lol!

Some random road photo's. Thanks again to Sean for organising and Tim for driving!

Looked like a great drive guys, next one in August I'm def. down for it.

Trent, the tips look good when they get hot too. It sounded superb when you left Lonestar the other night too.

Being the only TDI driver on today's cruise.. I gotta agree. But I'd recommend chipping it.. It would've helped heaps today eh? lol


On the way to Rathdowney..


The first (unplanned for me) stop for the day after following Coxy into Rathdowney.. Accidentally..


Cruuuisin..


Second stop just on the border... Trying to figure out where the hell Sean, Trent and Salem were..


Don't know why but I really liked this shot...

Great pics, that was a good day out. Good bunch of guys, cheers too.

Pretty happy with the fuel consumption, through the lions rd and Mt Lindsay twisties I was giving it the berries. That's probably the second big day drive I've done and continue to be happy with the car.

My fuel was somewhere into the 12.2 area when I got back home. Mind you no one could keep up

[KI11Z]

Bah...windey and hilly roads was what the TDI was built for. I'm sure you wouldn't have had any trouble keeping up


I know about the chipping/remapping, we got the GT sport done and its like a rocket on steroids.


Nice pics too!
Looks like a really fun road. Was it very busy with other cars?

Hmmm it wasn't all too bad traffic wise.. Apart from the odd caravan that literally appeared out of nowhere, it was good. Oh and ask Trent about a certain Camry driver...

Ps. Cam I've only got the 103... For now
