OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Idle Chatter How far have you travelled for a mower?

No wonder they're sitting outside Jack, the car is bigger than the "caravan"

4050km round trip from leeton to bowen qld to cut grass

I don't think we can count that one Joe. I've twice driven all the way around Australia just to see the sights, but I didn't pick up a mower along the way, so I didn't meet the competition criteria. Now if you somehow came back with a mower you didn't take with you, you might be a legitimate entrant. If you did that (and I can't imagine you going anywhere without picking up a mower somewhere along the line) we'd have to refer it to the Rules Committee (that is, Jack).

Wow,that's passion. Jack, that has got to be a Freight record, around 16900km 26hr flight non stop.

I'm pretty sure that picture was Photoshopped bigted - but here is a "real" touring version of the Isetta:

Yes Grumpy

... but remember, those caravans are actually quite spacious on the inside.
Made by the Tardis Wohnwagen Werks GmbH of Doodledorf they make
very good use of available space. They're good at maths:-

I actually had a caravan years ago which the kids called "The TARDIS", because they swore it was bigger on the inside than on the outside. However it achieved its miracle by avoiding having a vast amount of non-functional furniture like the one in your picture, Jack.

Having a TARDIS isn't all beer and skittles, because there is an implausibly large amount of storage space in it, and when you are going around Australia the little woman will fill all of it with surprisingly heavy stuff. My caravan threw two tyre treads on the first trip, at a steady 70 km/h. The second time we went, I'd fitted a pair of new LT tyres inflated to 80 psi. No further tyre trouble was experienced.

There's a solution to most problems, the trick is to find it.

PMSL Jack, Who needs maths & literacy, technology fixed that. But I'm happy to have learnt old school before it took over everything..
