home safe and sound thanx to the van

[Jason 253 CF]

Well its great to be back home and finaly get on the computer to see what i have missed while i was away. so cut i wasn't able to come to the melbourne Australia day get together you guys look like you had fun, but i was stuck in bright on holidays and the van was with us so couldn't come down.

Anyway the trip went fantastic and not one hicup apart from right taillight issues but the van ran A1. The van pulled short stick to carry all the gear apart from a couple of bags because the clubby has a massive gas tank in the back so the beddy got all the weight and mate she was full! not only did it carry 6 peoples junk but also had a double jetski trailer and all the waterskiing gear and biscuits to haul.

on the way up was the real test because the last time the van went up was 6 years ago and back then it had a Banjo diff with highway gears, 3 speed auto, smaller wheels, no powersteering, no body kit half the interior and 1/2 the crap and it just made it with out overheating. But she went like a dream the T700 was the best thing we ever did, revs were nice and low in 4th no high reving and drop to 3rd for big hills and thats it she just went. No over heating at all the hottest it got was 220 up a hill in 3rd and thats it so the big thermo and radiator did a great job but the bonnet scoop deffinatly helped it.
she was thirsty with all the weight so gas was our best friend, but all in all she didn't let us down at all just fill her up and go which is what you want. the only down side to the trip was the locus we copped a few and they made a nice mess to keep me busy cleaning.

i tried to load a couple of photos on this post but can't get it right so i loaded them in my gallery if you want to see the van and trailer. let us know the best way to load a pic on a post and i will try pop them on. Thanks

Welcome back Jason

Glad you had a great time.

There are two ways of adding photos, 1 is under the "additional Options" "attach" - but at the moment this is not working due to a full folder.

The other way - and the prefered way - is to add the photos to your album and then add a link in your post to them.

You do this by first uploading your pics to your album, then go to the required picture right click on the "properties" and highlight the Address (URL) and copy it into memory.

Then in the "Post reply" screen use the "insert image" button just above the smileys (second from the left)

the image tags will appeare in the text window {img} {/img}  (replace { with [)

Paste the photo address in between the two image tags and its done.
