so im finally home from a 2 week holiday, took the e36 upto qld to catch up with friends there and on the way, was an awesome trip!!
did roughly 5000km
used roughly 500l/$800 in fuel
things that failed:
-broken bonnet cable(middle one between the 2 latches, was on its way out anyway) happened on the first day!
-left hand HID intermittent on startup(pretty sure its bad/dirty connection, as it started playing up when rad hose popped)
-hesitation/bogging after ~2hrs of driving(mixed highway/town/traffic), seems heat related as it fixes itself after more highway cruising or parking for 10mins or so, and only happened on hot days. will check codes tomorrow, see if anything shows up.
the bonnet cable would have broken regardless, the hid i should have fixed already, the hesitation is the only real bad thing, and isnt directly related to the drive, so im super happy with how the car went.
ive got an absolutel stackload of pics to go through, so for now i think ill just dump a bunch now, and maybe some more later on.
so first day was the drive to canberra, stopped in cooma for some lunch
then met up with a mate in canberra
sunday we took the car to the German Auto Display, was a great day, met some more people, looked at some mad cars, got sunburnt, relaxed!
got there nice and early, so got to see some of the cars rolling in.
^was fitted with chrome/billet stuff everywhere
this thing turned heads as it rolled in. some of you would have seen it going around facebook and the likes with a 6/71 hangin out the bonnet. in current form, he said its around 700hp from memory
obligatory gogomobile pic
boat car didnt sink
some of bmw section
some of vw section
rolling back to sydney with some of the people i met there
some of the areas i stopped along the way, usually for lunch or breakfast
funky laundromat in port macquarie
seagulls are everywhere, always, relentless
