Turtle + Redbull =........

Sun 14 Sep 2008 07:51:28 AM
.......Toowoomba to Adelaide in 21 hours straight :D

(That's 1900km for those that can't be fucked looking it up)

Did not miss a beat. Not once.

lol.

Well done mate. I was going to ask you last week when you'd expect to have turtle back.

I am assuming there is more than one micra in that pic too lol, I can make out a second bonnet in there at least.

Just remember to disinfect the bedpan so that it smells fresh for the next non-stop run :o)

Ha ha, I am sure the traffic conditions were a bit different! Traffic was very light and over taking the b double trucks was easy as there are long stretches of straight road with great visibility.

Qld roads are worse that SA roads too!

I reckon once you get to 1200 km the rest is easy. I just love the drive even with a fucken loud exhaust and Coilovers. In fact I reckon it made the experience more enjoyable—must have kept me awake. Maybe it's the preservatives in Dirty Bird (KFC) :p

TBH I probably would not bother to do that many k's in a day again. I just didn't feel much fatigue at the time. Mind you I was stuffed yesterday.

Man, that's insane! Heaps of fun though..

Unreal that you can cross the entire country in a big single session like that. You should have added in the nullabor and started at Perth! haha.

Makes me feel like going on a big driving trip now..

I've done 1700km in 14 hours by myself in my old super s.
Perth to Meekathara and back. It took 3 tank refills. Just managed to crack 180km/h on a longish straight.

But well done that is a long haul!

Ah, very good. But before you set out did you get up at 5:30am, fly 2000 km, taxi 40 minutes driven by a Somalian lunatic, strip half the shit out of a Micra, load it into another (in fuken Brissie humidity), drive in an unfamiliar city—in peakhour traffic—in a thunderstorm—getting dark, wait in the biggest fucken KFC line up of what must have been some of Australia's fattest bastards, get lost in some burb near Ipswitch 'cos you took the wrong fucken turn somewhere, get a shit house sleep 'cos you decided to get a room next to a truck stop then get up at 4:30am (which is really 4am Adelaide time). Then drive the mere 1700km's in 14 hours? :D

No really I love it. Can't wait to buy the next one ;)
