Nice trip, but you didn't power that V6 of yours..... doing 100km/hr at Gwagwalada-Lokoja road? I do minimum of 130km/hr on that road.

Nice one bro! Are the 605 and the 406 yours too?
My dad got a new 504GL in '76. That was a great ride. I really missed the car when he
Exchanged it for a new 504GR in 1980, the difference in performance was clear.

Wow.. you're return trip was really fast shocked

I did that same journey in 2010, left about the same time as you (and filled up at the same station cheesy) and only got to abj sometime around 1:45pm. The roads must have improved.

worse was from phc - Abj, via enugu. Got to abj around 5:30 (left phc 6am), absolutely knackered and a sore bum cry


Thumbs up!!

Ikenna351: Back to the highway: Abuja - Enugu highway. About 5 more hours non-stop high speed ahead.

The 2nd part of the journey has begun.

Ikenna.

If i'm not mistaken, this is Lokoja-Ajaokuta road. 3 years ago this road was untarred and took 1hr to complete. now it takes about 10mins lol

Kamsy10: I dont understand why Nigerians always drive without seatbelt. Even in movies,u see them get into d car n just drive off.

OP i thank God for ur safe trip but pls next time have ur seat belt on. It doesnt guarantee anything but its one of those little things we have control over.
Am glad u had fun

What made you think i wasnt wearing the seat belt?

No, its about 3 hrs drive. Though, could do less, depending on the speed.

nice one Ikenna. i certainly would get a car with a V6 engine when next i visit the country, i hope to travel from Lagos-Benin-Lokoja-Kaduna (my wife is from kaduna, while my parents are in Benin) with stop overs though...Any ideas on a peugeot 407 or 406 V6 engines? would you know if Hyundai Sonata 2.4l engine comes with a V6?

Certainly, i'v fallen in luv with a V6.

I dont know anything about Hyundai Sonata. But a 2.4 L engine doesn't sound like a V6 engine. I could be wrong, though.

The V6 engine, ES9J4S, in 407 V6 (petrol), is the same V6 engine in phase II 406 V6. The engine develops the maximum of 210 hp. Its a good engine. Phase II 406 V6 manual transmission is the next car i plan to own.

Please, note that 407 also have a Diesel V6.

Ikenna bobo, I am always looking forward to reading your travel threads, very interesting and refreshing. Is your 505 an 84 or 85 model? Looks well maintained. I hope you will post more threads about your future trips.
