Guess you should probably define first long run? How far from home, how far from your nearest known mini parts supplier :lol:

I took my mini for a long run to bring it home. Sydney Brisbane Cairns - what i didn't bring that i should have

More music - you kind of get tired of the 2 CDs that were in the car

Warm clothes - mongrel southern weather 6 and 7 degrees and not a jumper to be had

What i did as soon as i got home - installed a second tank

Trailer????

Pffffffft.

Drive the thing all the way - that's what they were made for.

I will be driving my Mini from Melbourne to Canberra and back this weekend.

Annual trips include one to Sydney, one to Brisbane and two to Adelaide.

Then there are the BIG trips, like Cape York, Darwin, Shitbox Rally.

Go fo it Brett.
