Fremantle to Valla 2022

Post by Griffin »

so gearing up to drive our 11 window to Valla along with Mark (Spriggo) Spriggs in his 11 in July
Fitted some nice 175/80/15 Dunlop Grandtrek tyres to increase rolling diameter and hopefully speed up the trip, bugger to fit had to use a ratchet strap to compress the tyre and get them into the wheel arches..

yes yes will have something though not a lot of stock to sell, more likely some silver weld through panels, buttys bits and some aircooeld accessories gear to show off and will likely do a free freight promo for the weekend for any orders. Too hard to bring too much and will be away for a while as going to Old Bar and reVolks too (winter cruise if I can get away with being away)

Accom booked at the Valla caravan park (was at showgrounds but...)

sweet, don't feel bad putting external duct tape around the windas for long trips, exp in the rain, looks shit however saves wet feet. cheap insurance, however im sure you are all good ;)
safe trip man, shout you a schooner burger at Valla, after a drive like that you deserve it!. keep us posted on progress.
