We were following a Hino out of the Taggerty campsite and lost site of it in a cloud of smoke for about five minutes. Almost called the fire brigade to report a bush fire.. :lol: :lol:
There was so much dust stirred up by the combination it must have been hard to figure which was smoke and which was dust. Discovered I need to drive till the temp gauge reaches the first notch before turning the warm up switch off. The down side of having the warm up switch on, gutless and won't rev, so I turned it off maybe a tad early :roll:
