Our Outback Explorer

In the past month since we took delivery of our new 4WD we got it ready fitting it for our trips and this weekend was the first trial run. We joined a friend on a Landrover Club weekend with a mixed group of vehicles, not only Landrovers. The trip was on a private property near Wyangala.

Since the last post the car has been fitted with the Bull bar, snorkel, driving lights, second battery system, UHF radio and various small things. As expected the car did very well, a comfortable ride and good off-road capabilities.

Today we took delivery of our new car. We ordered it last June and had sold the Nissan Patrol before we went to Europe. It arrived earlier than anticipated so we were really pleased to get it. From the dealership we drove straight to the 4WD Adventure Show that happened to be on this weekend. We made good use of all the specials that were on to order some accessories such as a bulbar. So keep an eye out on the blog for more pictures as we fit our new car out for off-roading.

Bangkok

On our way back we made a stopover in our favorite city, Bangkok. We had a relaxing few days and met up with some of our Thai friends over great street food. We did all the usual shopping trips to Malls and Markets, visited the temple Wat Arun and of course enjoyed the nightlife.
