After the weekend series finishes while other crews soaked up the presentations we decided to get some miles on the clock towards home. Our aim was to shave 1 hour off our record by reducing our break times. The result however was quite funny.
On the way over Dave was boasting how he got into our 2 hour rotation of driving sleeping and peeing. Unfortunately we spent our time stopping for Dave to pee on the side of the road in between the 2 hour stops. After contemplating peeing into a macca's cup for half an hour and how he should do it. I offered to stop for him. This happened 3 times including making sneaky excuses to stop to check the trailer. It must of been the only thing keeping him awake as he nodded off soon after releiving himself.
We managed to make good time in the end and didn't see too much wildlife. However we did have fun aiming for the mice as they ran across the road in front of us. Our new trailer worked well and we now deserve a nice shower to get rid of the BO.
Cheers
