Sounds like a blast.

Might want to clean the windscreen first.

That's horrendous Harry, but also not surprising. All about the smiles per gallon though I guess.

Just done the fuel consumption calcs for the PULS8R over the weekend.

Filled up in 'clutha Thursday night. Drove 1270km with three forty dollar petrol top ups (Timaru, Amberly, Washdyke) en route. Filled up again in 'clutha tonight. Total fuel used since Thursday 81.5 litres.

Near enough to 6.4 litres per 100km / 44mpg. I'm very pleased with that.

Never seen that on any of mine either mate. 

Perhaps a downward spiral of sorts.

0 more. But we are both still live with the safeties off, so you never know.

But she wants the ability for the four of us to go places with the in-laws/cousins/kids mates/my mummy etc. 

Sounds like you need a mumbus.

...with a large emphasis on the word yet.

Also coon wags with after market third row bench. Fulfilis most of the criteria apart from no 4wd. Hogs the juice when towing though. I've had 14mpg with a double horsefloat on the back and I suspect it was very similar or maybe even worse with a hundred bales of hay on the big tandem flatdeck.

Good to see some real world figures on that from someone who has actually done the calculations.

Got back home just now after a magnificent roast dinner and a very pleasant evening followed by an early night and a long sleep in a comfortable bed all courtesy of ajg193 and his lovely wife. 

Thanks to the organisers and all who turned up for an amazing weekend. Was great to catch up with folk I hadn't seen in five years.

Hunterkiwi01 the way I figure it if a man is mature enough to ride into camp on a motorcycle, even if it is a moped, he's mature enough to have a beer with me. Go hard young man, the future is wide open.

Public service announcement for all those who haven't yet purchased supplies for the weekend.

This from Karl's email earlier today.

There is going to be a convoy leaving Christchurch from the Peg pub in Belfast around 12.30/1pm.

I intend leaving from South Otago about 0900. I suspect many of you will have a couple of drinks in by the time I get there.
 

I have a full box of Ranfurly so I should be right.

I polished a pair of Perths with parade gloss once. The boys at tech were all the time giving me shit about how shiny my Docs were so one day when we had a site visit I shined my gummies too.

But not the summer gummies with the extra holes.

True that Jesse. Bare feet ftw.

Weather forecast looks a bit shit.

Love that number plate.

We should make some Mulled Purple Goanna in a big cauldron.

Now you're talking. What could possibly go wrong?

And some cans of corned beef.

I'm at least half prepared. Got an extra box of Ranfurly.

Clean sheet wof on the PULS8R today.

Two weeks chaps.

Not for highway use. Private forest roads only as I understand it.
