The wait is over......
We were finally able to make the trip to Melbourne a just over a week ago to take delivery of our blue beauty. The drive home went well with some admiring and inquisitive looks en route with a few people taking photos too. We encountered rain most of the way (showers and downpours) - so alas the trip was done with the hood up - gave the wet weather equipment a good test and all works well.
We were driving the 4/4 on a permit without number plates (all legal and above board) - we passed several highway patrols and all left us alone....however......just after arriving at our over night stop we parked underneath the hotel and were interrogated by a young police officer
, who was staying at the hotel, about not having number plates
. We played 20 questions and offered up the paperwork but he didn't want to see it....and then went on his way.....
Thankfully I managed to give the car a good clean over the weekend so all is well once again....looking forward to getting it out on the road....with number plates of course...
