Across Australia...

... twice ...

So a sms came through on my phone.

"interested in driving a Truck to Broome? "

well ... what could I say?
Seems a friend of a bloke I do some part time work for, had bought a truck, and needed a delivery driver.

So, after many minutes of careful planning, I got onto a plane to Melbourne, got a ride out to some bloke's house, climbed into a 2005 Iveco Eurocargo, and drove to Broome ... all up 5,740 kms. then got onto another plane and flew back.

some pix to come ... ...

Here she is, about to leave her old home


new owner's other toy on board for a test fit :lol:


In the workshop fitting gates


breakfast at sunrise on the start of the 90 mile straight




No steering wheel needed here for a couple hours




Parked in the shade at her new home


A cable beach sunset

So, after many minutes of careful planning

Now I can relate to the lengthy planning ...

Great trip, and a helluva nice sunset!! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

That's the way to do it. Nice little adventure at someone else's expense.

So a sms came through on my phone.

Eddy, you better watch out there'll be blokes tappin in to your phone if your'e not careful. Well done mate & I guess I'll be only one of the envious blokes on this end of the forum. Keep up the good work & the photo's too. cya Tim

Not real sure why anyone would head West with a half empty truck? Seems like a good chance to line the pockets gone. Envious?... you betcha!

Hey eddy, bet your glad it wasn't the Leyland for 5470 km's. Nice change of scenery mate.

Was actually under the impression that the was a full load of his stuff to go

.

well yes and no ...

Leyland doesn't have @#$^& speed limiter ... can pull out and get to 110 (or more ... [who said that!?] ) for overtaking purposes.
Air con and power steer is nice tho ...
