We’ll have arrived at Nowra my old home town from 50 years ago, the Everest towed really well now the airbags are in. I put 20psi in the airbags for the trip down, I’ll reduce it to around 15 on my way back to Sydney later next week and if it feels okay I’ll leave them there for the trip home. Nowra has changed soo much 3rd bridge almost done, traffic nightmare!!. Trip meter says 18.1 average for the 1556 k’s a lot more than the Jeep so I’ll work it out on paper shortly other than that really happy with the car.

Rigs looking good Dave, black rims set it off real well, glad the set ups working good ....................
Nowra was my Home Port in my Navy days so we lived near Husky in the 70's and in town in the early 80's, far too busy and feral for me now though ..................... a 3rd bridge be buggered, I actually did a bit of work on the new bypass approaches to the new bridge probably 83, now its all happening again and still be a bottleneck I suppose.

Huey N9-3102 a UH-1B which was flying from 1965 to 1988 as 854 or 894, even went for a swim in Jervis Bay, has spent more time on a pole than on the tarmac but better than the fire ground..... back in the old stomping ground.................
