Not too shabby I can tell you! We got great fuel economy specially since I forgot to fill up in Naracoorte and then rolled into Cavendish Vic on fuel vapours....got a little over 500kms to a tank!! That economy with a full car and me thrashing it!! Too cool.
Killed lots of bugs...ran over a stick that has dented the drivers door and saw a lot of dirt roads....the diff had a ball, locking up all over the place! Took some shots of the car before his bath today. GLad I got the Hymee grille or those bugs would be in my coolers....not good.... Killed lots of dragonflies as well...but not another animal was harmed in the travels....some of it at warp speed!
The other photo is the car with my slightly smaller Honda wheels on the car cause the tyres are soooo quiet and the Mazda tyres are getting way too noisy...sound like rally tyres...
NOT HAPPY with THE BRIDGIES at all.... 
to noisy...rrr rrrr rrrr rrrr as I drive along....

Oh wow a like minded 8 owner!! I have a spare if you would like to razz up the boys in blue!! Nah only jokin' But I will sell my plates if you want to buy.... 
Look forward to meeting up when you arrive....moving down south....well there you go I thought once people got to the territory they never left!!
Sorry to make you change your plate...however it would be good to go for a cruise with you, your NT plate and my SA plate...the state part is not that distinct on them really!
Ciao' for now and stay in touch.

...just kidding. They look fine and if they dampen the road noise it's all good.

Since tyres were mentioned, I thought no one would mind if I changed the subject ever so slightly. I'm still very happy with the Fulda Exelero 245's after 20,000km. Tread wear appears minimal, and they're still very quiet. There seems to be little detectable squirm now, possibly due to some wear on the blocks.

Mind like a steel trap hey! Keep on dreamin!
WD tells me that car will age a little quicker with smaller wheels....not too happy bout that..but they are so quiet.. However I can sell them and get $$ for something else and that's quite tempting!
