Aerodynamics make a difference

Yes....yer right... just a simple post...hahahahahaha

G'day Royce

Dunno 'bout body weight but I would presume the Magna is heavier. More Magna metal than the plastic coated Xtrail.

Magna in front Xtrail 500metres at rear
Both aircon on
Windows closed


What else would you consider? Scientifically that is..........lol


Cheers

Geez mate, you get around.

Is the Xtrail AWD? If so, this could account for heavier fuel consumption. My 5.7L Adventra uses about 2L/100KM more fuel than a rear drive 5.7L Commodore wagon of the same model.

Push button AWD. It was running in 2WD

My wife sampled one a few weeks ago, she approved. My boys had sausage rolls and I had a pie. All recommended!

Hmmmmm

Last time I went in there I had to write a cheque. Couldn't carry all that much money around. While it is good stuff I prefer home cooking and we take that on the road instead

If you have had one of Oz's best you must have been to DUNEDOO bakery then, for one of their pies, sausage rolls or pasties...none better anywhere in this great land, and that's fair dinkum, mate.!!!!!

try the bake house on the highway @ Waikerie(SA).mmmmmmm

Too far Mark, Dunedoo is only 250 k's up the road, and worth the drive, especially when on our way to Coonabarabran. Only 40 k's extra, but worth it. I shall try Waikerie next time down there LOL.

yep,the bakery is on the way into town coming from the airport side.i used to call in for breaky most mornings on the way to Berri to load.

I go past the Waikerie Bakery most work days, don't bother. Best pasties in the Riverland are from Barmera Bakery in the main street.

Nice to make a call at Stone Hut bakery too, thugh I have sworn myself off a lot of pasrtry these days

Am sure bareires would ruin your aerodynamics too Garbutt. I am improving mine again :-)))

test

The BEST PIE in Australia is made at the Wyndham Bakery, in Wyndham WA. By far, the best meat pie ever made. They even sell them in Broome and Kununurra. Nothing comes close to it. If travelling through do yourself a favour and pull in and grab some treats.

LOL don't get him started on roofracks and fuel economy again :)))

Who mentioned roofracks? SOB!


Cheers

WILLEM

not fond of roof racks eh?

go on ........tell us why :-)

No

..........so thats definate then? :-(

Gramps seems to remember things I have forgotten about.

Due to my numerous trips away each year across a variety of terrain I have had issues with lots of in-ons and add-ons. Apart from breaking a roofrack a couple of years ago I can't think of the issue Gramps wishes to regurgitate.

Do a search.....lol

Hahahahahahahahaha it's too long ago. Do a search :)))

I tend to agree they are a pain, but sometimes they are good to get smelly thinks away from you.

Dirty tyres, leaking jerry cans. Bro knows I had diesel over the roof before crossing the SD. Dust got into all sorts of seal places with it too. Blew it out last week around the rear door seal. Had to insert an air gun and inflate but have multigrips on the seal to divert the air out particular vents.

I have a laugh at all the swags I see up top on a roof rack. I know they are light but they increase the drag no end. It was bad enough with a wheel and the jerries. Tarp, annex floor and yabbie nets were nothing.

They can be a pain to get on and off too.

Oops, should have read thank God for the roofrack.

Hmmmm...I will have to keep that one in the depths of Misdemeanor Black Book and wreak retribution when the time is right.

Will pass on the wishes.
