Variety Bash 2008 - Car # 92

Day three ended with a dinner in Mooree and onto a local Hotel,
for yet another late night. Sunday heading for Charleville Baz was
meant to be navigating today only to decided the bistro back seat
was a better option. Joined by Dean to then create day four cabin fever!
After a quick team meeting driver Ross doing the best drive day yet pressed
on and hopefully no more faver. Dave stepped in the navigator seat to
only make one error(which almost turned into a 15km error) More dust, 600
plus kms made us push hard, the bistro continued to have us pause after
a risky passing.

We seem to pass the same car ten times a day. Today saw airborn grids
and dried up creek crossings which created excellent pictures. Finally after
having to borrow some more refreshments for the “bistro” and only
100kms to go, the fun stops were longer, the bash has taken its toll
with roos, axles, head gaskets and punctures it is quite amazing what
mechanics can achieve. The “Q” just got a flat arriving in Charleville but
mechanically purring along. Day five is a layday in Charleville only to have
our team of four reduced to three with Dave (Dick Johnson) having eaten
enough dust going home.

Will repair the tyre and get some rest today. Special thanks to Ross and Dave
whom are really good at chainsawing in Bed!!!
