Offroad Driver Training

I decided to go to the 4x4 training course work organised so as to get some formal training instead of relying on what I've learned mucking about in the bush. When I arrived today the instructor asked everyone what vehicle they had - everyone else had Prados or government issue Workmates. I thought I was going to get a ribbing...
The instructor said "I'm sorry to inform you all that one of you has a real four wheel drive and the rest have toys imitating the real thing."

Didn't I feel smug. He congratulated everyone on not spending a fortune on a 200 series expensive toy.

From my photo you won't be surprised to see who was chosen to demonstrate snatching the Tojo out of the mud!!

hmmm.... having trouble posting a photo... someone might need to tell how to do it.

hahaha that's epic mate

To attach a photo there should be an "additional options" section under neath the "submit reply" button when you create a post. There is a "managed attachments" button. Click on it at and the rest should be obvious.

Hi Geoff,

Didn't know they even ran any courses in town or was this a Govt department thing?

Watch the size of the image you are trying to attach - 130kB 640x480 is the maximum allowed as an attachment.

Yeah Derek, it was NTG - Smart NT run it but NTG organise it. You can joint the course as a non public servant as Hannah did.

I can't get the iMac to downsized the JPG to smaller than 330kb - do you know how Derek?

Hmmm the TD5 130 cab chassis living opposite me just drove away with his tray off

thought I'd share that random landy moment...
