Nice work guys. Glad to see you out enjoying your new van. That sucks about the windscreen. That happened to me too 🤦🏽‍♂️ I went and got a DIY windscreen repair kit to pop some resin in there to stop it cracking further. Glad I did because the very next day we were driving again and a rock hit the exact same spot than last time, I kid you not! That would have really cracked it further if I hadn’t of repaired it beforehand 👍🏽

Woomera is a town that was specifically built to accommodate the Scientists and ancillary staff that worked on the station. I remember, when I was a teenager, my neighbour's transport company often brought American cars back from Woomera to ship back to the US for the Americans who would return home after extended work stays up there. It has been a testing range for quite a few friendly nations, mostly European. There was also a Radar station of historical significance up there. I believe that flying drones is prohibited in Woomera and surrounds .

Hi guys a question about your fuel comsumption, do you know what your litres/ 100km rate is? By the sounds of it , it is not good. We have a toyota 76 series (short wheel base wagon) towing a 3000 kg van and are getting anywhere between 19 litres and 23 litres / 100km, and no van 13 to 15 litres / 100km. Plus we travel in 4th gear doing around 90 to 100 km/hr. Have you had anyone look at it, might need a dyno tune. Ps. Great content and very entertaining. Keep up the good work.
