Everywhere Tig

[harrip]

I'm presently taking my Tig on a bit of a jolly around Oz. There is a summary here - www.ivebeeneverywhere.com.au ( I'll be adding some tig specific content in due course.)

So far going well - loving the fuel consumption. Most days its averaging around 6.1 to 6.3 l/ per 100 KM. Its a 2.0 TDi

Looks like you will have a great trip, nice photos on your site.
Just one question though - what's the passport for?

great site you got there. Couldn't think of a better vehicle to do that sort of trip in either.

Keep it all coming...its wet and cold in the UK so what you,re doing is very warming to look at..just love the look of some of those old buildings

Thanks guys. The passport fills a spot

Today was more interesting from the Tig point of view as I tested out the Tyre deflate warning - i.e. I had a puncture 150KM in the middle of nowhere. It worked and possibly helped save a tyre rim. The warning light came on (with an audible sound) and I then stopped to inspect my tyres and indeed one was hissing away. More details here - http://www.ivebeeneverywhere.com.au/?p=213

I've done a brief review of the tig following the start of my Oz trip. It can be found here - http://www.ivebeeneverywhere.com.au/?page_id=446

Cheers,

P.S. @DJY - once you've used a Mac no going back huh

Just a quick update on this to say I had a great trip to Brindabella last weekend. Brindabella is 68KM west of Canberra, but on the way the road disappears and turns into a dirt track (much to my surprise).

Anyway, the tig made easy work of it and I'd recommend the trip to anyone in the area - it would be a good Sunday afternoon type ride. Further details are at http://www.ivebeeneverywhere.com.au/?p=607
