Thunderbolt goes to Bellthorpe National Park

[lazjen]

We took a drive today to the nearby Bellthorpe National Park for a bit of a look around.

On the way, from a lookout towards the Glasshouse Mountains:

We stopped at an old forest logging mill for morning tea, where some of the wildlife (magpie and 2 butcherbirds) wanted what we had:

Hitting the dirt roads proper:

Things got a bit wet and muddy:

Hmm, where are we?

Thunderbolt gets a bit dirty:

Biggest hassle is that it's about 8C outside with a gusty winds and we've got to clean it!

Beautiful shots. Is your steering on the wrong side or your passenger has been taking some of these shots?

Just trying to figure out if your steering is different than mine, where is yours made.

As you are now no doubt aware from the other posters, I'm in Australia. My vehicle underwent a RHD conversion to be legal here.

Did Ford do the conversion before you took the delivery or there is third party business in Australia that does this on any vehicle?

Third party business as Ford does not offer it here. I've got a post elsewhere about it.

I love the shots of the truck in the wild! How is the range with the new wheel & tires?

For that particular trip, we did about 180 kms, and used 51% of the battery. Over an hour of highway driving, plus a lot of hills. We were out for about 6 hours and I guess breaks might have been about 1 hour worth, so not the most efficient, but very acceptable for day tripping.
