Test drive?

A MAN has been arrested after what may be Australia's longest test drive. He was nabbed with the luxury Honda 6200km from a Melbourne car yard.

The 30-year-old was arrested yesterday after taking the $40,000 Honda Accord Euro last Thursday. The driver was arrested at Tennant Creek after failing to pay for petrol for the car at Wycliffe Well.

He was charged with aggravated unlawful use of a motor vehicle and unlawful possession of property.

He was remanded to appear in the Tennant Creek Magistrates' Court
