Top down for 2 weeks. Raced up and down like a mullet with no concern for consumption. Went for 120k service: changed air filter etc. Supposed to check consumption amongst other issues but they didn't have time. A bit peeved!

Damn! Left petrol card at home and had to fill up on credit card. On leave and driving to and fro through to Fish Hoek and Capri. Pushed it on occasion. There are a couple of niggles that I need to check out i.e. slight oil leak on motor/possible front diff leak/right front suspension not sounding too good

Offroad 4x4 points event at Jeep Adventure Track. Plenty hard core mud plugging and revving. Had a blast with Mitch as co-driver. Haven't driven around very much and first fill up in 2 weeks. Tried to be more frugal but ended up pushing it hard quite often. It's good to hear that V6 purr!

Plenty time at MELKBOS 4x4 playing in the pit (and getting stuck) and then driving along the track. Pushed it a little with a full firewood load. Normal congested traffic to and from work and to clients. This reading might look better than it should; I don't think the jockey filled it to the top.

Soft top still on. Some mucking around in mud. One longish trip to Fish Hoek. Tried being lighter on the pedal but it's not really working. Me thinks the soft top is playing havoc with the brick like aerodynamics. I don't think they filled it up as much as they could've. Might mess with the result.
