    1350km in the first 12 hours. Pretty impressive.

      That's not a bad route though from what I can see, it's not just Hwy1

            Plenty of time for the AU to catch and pass them....

              it's funny, when a team of fairly prepared people who've done similar things before lets pf know that they'd do a trip around the country, they're frowned upon and told that they'd never make it. yet when some drunks decide to buy a shitheap car and do the same, but in a shitter, with random people driving, and the car's not even moved over 20km, it's all "yeah, we'll piss this in"



              hi longest drive people! i love what you're doing, and i wish you all the best! you've been going great so far already! as stated before, i'm not sure you will make it, but i sure as hell hope you do! what you're doing is awesome!

                Waa? This is not the level of organisation and cooperation I've come to expect from PF!!

                    Given PF people have to work. Perhaps we need to GPS log the time taken to drive round Oz and add it up. Then compare to the Swedes?

                          Piss off Tut. Don't see you organising a drive around your country?

                          Oh.

                              Yeah piss off Tut.

                              Where is our Coon? In any case, when the swedes have been and gone, the coon will still be driving around Australia. They'll never catch us

                                to be fair tut, I think everyone was sceptical about these guys for doing it in one go with 12 hour driving stints and no breaks on roads their not familiar with issues they've not encountered on other trips.. Unless I've missed something, it would seem the AU is going to do a few hundred k's a week as it hops between drivers, who will likely be familiar with teh roads they're driving on, or at least the conditions...

                                you can always hear them when they break and they stop the engine immediately so you can't do any more damage.
