Here are the pictures of my Australia crossing.
My brother and I drove my newly converted 96RT from Melbourne to Perth.
(Conversion pictures in another post)
The car was converted in Melbourne by Viperformance :2tu: and I decided to drive it home.
Total drive time was 36 hours spread across 3 days.
Total distance 3500 KMS
Route taken was;

Day 1
Melbourne-Mildura
Mildura-Burra
Burra-Port Augusta
Port Augusta-Ceduna

Day 2
Ceduna-Norseman
Norseman-Kalgoorlie

Day 3
Kalgoorlie-Perth

The car ran flawlessly :)
I believe this is the first Australia crossing made by a Viper.

Sweet pics man....made the trip down under last year...searched high and low..couldn't find a Viper anywhere. After hearing how strict they are over there about speeding....probably a REALLY good idea that there aren't a lot around!!! Glad you guys had fun. Cheers. :D
