Default First mini road-trip

Round about 750 pounds of dogs and gear (and a cooler full of beer, of course.)
120 mile trip and it sat on 50 the whole way. Pretty good result for its first big outing I reckon.

First photo is at the start. The second is just before my first post drive beer. We took it nice and easy. Just over 3 and a half hours overall.

Looks great! Glad to hear she held up OK! You really got lucky finding that truck where you are. I'm electric blue with envy

Some people are like slinkys. Not worth much but funny as heck when pushed down stairs.

Funnily enough we passed an old Chevy stepside along the way. It was left hand drive also. Bit of a small world really.

Believe it or not we used to do this trip in a little VW golf.... Dogs and all lol

Pretty much a full tank. So around 10 mpg or so I think.

We made it back safe and sound.... All of the dogs are some form of mutt LOL

They've got something over here called a 'Bull Arab' that's essentially a cross between a mastiff and whatever else was lying around. 1 of the 3 has a good deal of greyhound that's come out. Another looks like there's some Dane in him. The 3rd looks more like a Mastiff, but not quite as large (at about 80 lbs he's the runt of the 3).

They're great dogs. A bit of a handful though..... all rescues and all spoiled LOL
