The car ran beautifully over the rocky road and we were both able to relax (especially Michael) and enjoy the drive, with no fuel surge into the carbies, &amp; the car didn\u2019t stall once. Success at last! Let\u2019s hope Ross doesn\u2019t need his SU fuel pump back before we get off the dirt roads!\u00a0 Once again we drove through amazing desert, with lama\u2019s more common place and turquoise lakes dotting the landscape, it is breathtaking.
