Shortest way around Aus

It's obviously a shorter trip going anti-clockwise, but both sides of the vehicle, unless your driving skills match your obviously limited IQ, will get home at the same time, but you will use more fuel that way heading into the prevailing westerly winds over the longer trip across the top end.
This can be counterbalanced by lowering the drivers side window halfway, but only if your drivers side mirror is angled no more than 18 degrees.
The other thing you need to be careful of is the passenger side tyres. As most of the load will be on the drivers side with all the left hand turns, you will need to lower the passenger side tyres to add a little bit more friction so you don't have to adjust the wheel alignment.
Tyre brand won't matter for the 37.6 kilometre difference in distance.
I don't see any relevance regarding the bicycle, as someone with your mental imbalance would need trainer wheels, and that adds a whole new requirement.

Weel if you travel clockwise you are on the left hand side of the carriageway so that means your car would be closer to the ocean and hence you'd travel further. Now the right hand tyres would travel slightly less distance as well because there would on average be more right hand turns than left.. As far as the side of the car is concerned it would be hard to mount an argument to say it'd travel less.

How much have you had to drink today??

Has the trip started with the front or back of the car leaving your property?
Same coming home, front or back, will make 10m difference in wear to the tyres?

To my way of thinking, the passenger side tyres will get the most wear which ever way you go, since they will be on the outside going around roundabouts, and hence get more wear.
But are there more left hand than right hand corners to even up the wear?

I tihnk some one needs to check the results on the road.

I think the original poster sucked a few of you blokes in....:)

96 GXL 80 series,

My answer to that is you have too much time on your hands. But, I will play your game IMO anticlock wise may not be the shortest however it would be the quickest (time) due to the wind pushing you to my home town.

As for tyres you know as well as I do that question is a joke (IMO), however, I know that the spare should be in better condition that the rest (unless used to replace flat).

You are a perfect example of the saying " there is one in every crowd"

Unfortunately for us, you have found this site and seem intent on making a nuisance of yourself and wasting everyones time everytime you post or reply.

It depends where you live which will dictate where you start/finish. BecauseIf if you choose to drive into the direction of earth rotation your trip will be much longer, it would be a bit like one of those exercise walking conveyors, lots of steps but no progress sort of thing if you know what I mean.

However if you travel in the same direction as the earth rotation your trip will be much shorter, a bit like a tail wind sort of thing if you know what I mean.

Our experience has been if you go with the flow, that is the direction of earth rotation sort of thing , if you know what I mean, you use less fuel, less wear & tear on vehicle, tyres, nerves etc if you know what I mean.

Good luck & thanks for lightening up my day!!

Me thinks you are trying to bait Doug into biting. Personally the shortest way is to fly.

Are you kidding - this cannt be a serious set of questions ! ! !

......go clock wise if I can play the game..... when the southerly kicks in you can get a heeve - ho up the hill to the north.

Tyres.....replace the spare first! what are your detours????

and a bike ? fk. .... you really are wasting time ......Im going back to the telly!

96,

We're laughing at you, not with you.

Seriously, you're about as funny as a fart in an elevator.

I reckon KSV & DUNCO got it right. Where is your sense of humour? Cheers

I want to go the L O N G way round.

My dear fellow, what sort of answer do you expect ?. There is insufficient information in the question.
Do you mean driving, flying, swimming or by sea in a boat ?

You will save heaps on tyres if you were to go by either of the last two options.

Could I respectfully suggest that you try the third option, solo without a life jacket.

Good luck.

If you travel 1 km south, then 1km west then 1 km north and you end up where you started, where are you?

All the time Ive read "this" forum in the past, Ive enjoyed the wise character of the forum with the Aussie humour and wit of some of the people when given a bit of a lead such as 96 has tried to give here. But all of a sudden its going sour. My wish is for it to get back to what it was like so I can keep getting my daily fix of it. Some of you need to chill.

If you travel anticlockwise it will be at least 3.14 metres shorter, if you do your pye sums for every 1 metres from the centre of road is 2 x pye

Why not do it as a figure 8??

That way the wear and tear on the vehicle and tyres would equal out and the distance would be even.

C'mon people lighten up.... the poor bugger probably has PTSD, you really should humour him/her without enabling him/her....

Ok BooBoo, I'll bite, 1 km south, 1 km west, 1 km north would put me 1 km west of my starting position.

Is it a trick question of something,

Cheers.....Lionel.

Do a Forum search.....
I'm sure this has been done 10000000000000000 times before !!!!
