:D I just finished driving my 2009 Patriot from Melbourne to Perth about a 3,500km drive.
Why you may ask? the standard of cars is so much better in the eastern states of Australia! on that journey I got to know my vehicle so well, and I have to say Im so pleased with it! I cant wait to see what the future brings with it.

From what I know it is quite optioned.. Heated seats, Sunroof, Nudge bar all the goodies!

Anyways, Just thought I'd say hey :)
 
Nice Pat & great looking scenery - what a beautiful drive and I love where that nudge bar connects to the Jeep, thats where it should go, not all the way underneath.

This would be the fourth time I've driven from Perth to the eastern states! the scenery really does beat the civilised city views! There was strange rain storms nearly the entire way across the nullabor so there was a tonne of kangaroos on the road in the middle of the day drinking from the puddles, so you really have to be on your toes with the brake pedal!

Pity they stopped selling the Diesel Pat in Aus !! Then you are looking at 400--450 miles per tank . ( Believe it or not the record is over 600 miles --London to Berlin , with a little left over for a trip over the border into Poland )
 
woohoo! awesome pics! thanks for sharing! Can't wait to take my new 2012 pat on some road trips!
