its not hard to get sleepy on that highway. take ya ipod with a radio transmitter attached to it, they work a lot better in the country than the city. or get some cd's. have some water in the cab with ya, it can be a fair hike between servo's. try not to overdose on energy drinks too many of them make ya crook in the guts. if u get sleepy hop out for a bit, have a stretch etc

 

[nathanVY]

yeah, hopefully Ill get most the driving out of the way before dark. I think the cars got the stock tape player lol so no cds.
those energy drinks just make me sleepy unless i'm moving around a lot.

 

[dirt drifter]

damn, no cd player. trust me if you've got an ipod and a radio transmitter it will be worth its weight in gold. assuming the fm radio still works

 

[nathanVY]

yeah got the old pod and one of those tape to 3.5mm things.
praying the tape player still works lol

You don`t need to do it in one go.
But if you are like me pumped up with a new toy and a new adventure and trip U will be find.
Me 12hrs to blue mountains from brisbane.
2 packs on fags and a lot of music and a short break.
It`s good to stop for a wee and walk around.
I`ll be waiting for the ride pics.

 

[nathanVY]

lol
will do all that minus the smokes, should be a good trip!
almost paid for a mates flight to come with me but he couldn't get it off work

my ride thread cominggg soon as I get home lol

goodluck with it mate but yeah this is a pretty small journey, did adel to syd over newyears in my executive, loved it. watch out for truck drivers, had one run me off the road which totalled the clip on my muffler had to repair it with the help of a local servo in a town which let me use their tools.

It seem's like a huge trip the first time but like minux is saying its not difficult, so dont get psyched out, and have some goddam fun, if you can go through teh blue mountains theres some amazing sights up there, i fell in love with them (comments about the girls hooked up with there another time) plenty of decent nightclubs there, checkout panthers in penrith if your feeling up to it.

NSW cops have nothing on the anal-ness of SA cops, but dont take that as an excuse to do anything stupid, stick to the road rules, you dont need to prove anything, show off or test the car above legal limits.

im surpised no one has suggested this yet. ontop of the road side assist dont forget to get your insurance sorted before you drive home.

dont forget the roads will all be unknown and if you end up driving at night big chance of a roo jumping in front of you. trust me you dont want to be driving your new car home and over look the importance of insurance just to have a roo jump out and damage it or write it off.

But sydney is nto that far really liek minux has said your not going across the desert so just get roadside assist and enjoy the drive. good luck.
