Default Took a trip today

Went on an open road trip today to Raglan - about 160 km each way - to see this place (never been there before) and to check the trucks open road gas consumption. Along the way this happened so I stopped to take a pic



We took the winding back roads there and picked up the motorway on the way back. Used 51.58 ltr & covered 350km all up. That's 14.7ltr/100km. I must note that here in New Zealand most travelling involves hilly country. Town is 18-19 ltr/100km.

On a side note, we stopped & looked at the view, ate our fish & chips, fed the seagulls & departed. No pictures. Way too windy.

This place has the premier surfing beaches & figures in the world champs if I recall.

I like your dash better than the USA version, but I must of missed something what happened? I guess I'm slow.

What is so different about his dash besides it's a right hand drive and the speedometer is in kp/h?

Milages is 111111 km's. As I turned the corner and pulled over to wait for the bikers I saw the milage! Had to take the pic! LOL

But yea, The dash is in km's & metric gauges but then I think the Canucks also have this dash. Oh yea, blue LED's too.

True, but that blue lights is something anyone could do with some money. But, I will admit it does look nice.
