Looked out from our 3rd floor unit (Bendigo Wool Show) and thought -"won't see that too often ".
From above with "hiking boots". 17x 6.5 ix35 alloys, Bridgestone LT 225/70 R17 All-Terrian's.
2500km up on them so far,  all good.  :happydance:
10,000 km on Santa in 4 months   :happydance:

After a slight break getting the house ready for sale, we did 2 trips to our new location hauling a 800kg 10' x 5' trailer.  Of course fully loaded on the down trips  :lol:. 1900km all up.
15600 km now, so just had 15k km / yearly service at app 7 months. $380:00 .
They said Santa had quite a few give it good look over , as they had it near the steps at from of building. Tint, 2 extra aerials and tyres  caught  their attention.
Towing fuel use was between 11.5l to 14l per 100.
Speed was as posted or up to 20kmh over, 120 kmh max.
Sport mode  came in handy on some of the long uphill sections when overtaking. 
Seems to change shift points and power/torque output.
Just did a Camden to Newcastle & return trip today,  7 to 7.5 per 100km.
All in all,  Santa - very happy  :happydance:
