I grew up going up there for holidays. Dad would drive his company car around the property like he worked for the forestry folks. The property is just off Back Creek Rd.Quote:

two years ago I was struggling... silver or dark green (galway green)... went Galway Green in the end and have not regretted it at all. It is a beautiful colour in all kinds of different light...Quote:

Hence he was driving downhill without much brake and then through decent puddles on his first drive - exciting for a boy!
[Note to naysayers: I'm well aware a learner needs to know how to use a brake and that very few cars have a throttle that doesn't need touching to get good momentum. However this is a great starting point.]
Exciting for grown men too :)
