It arrived!

    The new and the old

    M arrived fresh off the boat in our new wheels this morning. A couple of people asked me if the car in the previous post was the one we bought - yes, they are one and the same. Here it is out the front of the trailer near our trusty HiAce. It sounds like a tractor, and drives like bubble with its lovely power steering. It seems to be in fantastic condition. From his travels so far, M has calculated that driving fast and furiously we get ten kilometres from a litre of diesel, and therefore roughly 700 kilometres from our 70 litre tank. Far more economical than the Datsun 280ZX we’ve been tooling around in. I’m not sure how it compares to the Humber.

So when are you going to hit up the local fish and chip shops and run some biodiesel through her??

Got to make sure we get the roadworthy sorted first. Goddamn rego/transfer of ownership costs a bomb! M was speaking to his brother-in-law in Hervey Bay the other night - he runs a restaurant and has 500litres of vegie oil stashed in his shed! Yah!
