Well, sort of. Passed my test yesterday :)


No plans to get a car, but a useful tool. Will be getting insured on my girlfriends car. But the real reason is so I can drive accross Australia this time next year :D We leave for Thailand in September 8)


However, I'm driving down to cornwall this weekend, so beware! :lol: If you see a metalic grey Ka, run.

Congrats on passing your test. How long are you planning to be in Oz? I went for nearly 3 months, a few years ago. We bought a cheap camper van from another british backpacker and drove round in that. I did miss having my bike for all that time though.

We'll be there for 2 months of our 12 months away. We may stay longer, but money wont go as far in Australia as South East Asia, so 2 months is probably all we can afford :lol:

You've done exactly what we want to do! PMing you now... :wink:

Well done on the test Monkey.

Are you going via A30 or A38 to Cornwall ?

Stick to the A30 then I know Plymouth will be safe :lol:

Nice one also :driving:

What you need to do is get a towbar attached and find yourself a trailer then you can have the best of both worlds.

I would do that but my poor escort found a tree instead :x

Thank you all! :D very kind.

Didn't think I'd get much response as I posted here, but figured the board needed the activity :lol:

Clunk, I think A30 all the way, I've done it on the bike it was dead boring (took the, I think, A349 :?: on the way back, that was last year - fantastic ride back :D all along the north coast), but in a car it's the most direct route. I thought the A38 stopped at Exeter :?:

It'll be motorway to Exeter, then A30 - as early as possible considering it's Easter hols :roll: didn't think about that one! :lol: ah well, good experience for me! :D And I'm taking any opportunity to drive, I even drove into work (1.6 miles :oops: :lol: ). Considering my bike isn't insured (hasn't been for months :( ) and I will be selling soon, it's nice to get a bit of freedom and mobility back :)
