Going over to bunnings today I used about 3km of the M5 between Ingleburn and The Crossroads. It was sort of a waste using the M5, but I think it is slightly faster than using the normal roads. Except for today that is. The traffic really slowed down just before my turn off as there were two or three people selling flowers by the side of the expressway, and people were stopping to get flowers which slowed traffic when people wanted to leave, and then join back with the traffic.

The other thing I forgot to mention earlier was how much I love having a hatchback. When I was getting the BBQ, It was good to be able to put the back seat down flat and just load up. If you have never picked up a BBQ, it comes in a case that would put many TV boxes to shame. So putting the BBQ in the back of the car was no problem. I could definitely tell that the extra weight was in my car, but ther performance was still there when I needed it.
