Offer a mate a carton of beer, drive up, have a night out on the town and drive both back the next day.sigpicOriginally posted by KaiComment

well so far thats the plan but there are a couple things that make it awkward...
1) car might not make the distance
2) mate that has offered to come for the roadtrip doesn't actually have his license yet..
these make it somewhat more difficult..Comment

Sydney to Melb isn't that far, I drove my Mk2 from Perth to Canberra.... but then I guess I'm crazy

It's a pretty easy drive.
Get the car inspected by a third party if your worried? Can be a little more confident in your decisionDriving the coal. Low and rattly.Comment

This is why you don't make friends with Stu..... Take a tow rope and tow it if you have to, otherwise rent a trailer and borrow a good tow car.Originally posted by eltonking View PostsigpicOriginally posted by KaiComment

you could always take it/get some work done on it/inspected in syd before you leave, and have a bit more confidenceComment

Been there, done that...
For timing reasons I'd recommend flying up and driving back otherwise it takes two days (or swapping drivers while the other sleeps). The drive itself is easy, did Sydney to Melbourne and back last weekend
Reliability... that's a much harder call to make...
If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.Comment

Looks pretty reasonable. Brenton doesn't mess about so it will be as he said it is in the description, but do expect to do some work on her.
Otherwise I will buy it and part it out haha.Comment
