We had a very welcome 23mm to backup the 30mm that we had 2 weeks ago that started the season.

Nice Drop. :ehigh5:South Oz and Westen Vic record breaking Drought got a Break with 10 to 30ish mm over the last few days. Really good to see here as its Dry plus

Dams near here got a bit then the soil soaked most or all of it up like a sponge. Hoping for a Wet Wet Wet winter and spring. Putting a bit of a smile on many farmers dials.

My cars got some mud on it. Not seen since I had my Disco[biggrin][biggrin][biggrin][biggrin]

It might be ok if they stick to the middle of the road, although it would have been rough, but if they had to pass an oncoming vehicle - I suspect they will have had to, and then all bets would be off if they leave that centre line.

Some people don't leave much margin for error however I do which is why I have a 4wd as I like driving the quiet back roads and dirt roads, sometimes I don't see another car for hours, it'd be easy to take a wrong turn, then do a u-turn, put a couple of wheels off the road in the soft stuff and get stuck.

No wonder Saitch found things very cold and breezy, if he was wearing a nightie!

A DIL's Kia people-mover is 4WD, supposedly with basically a Pajero chassis.

Probably more an AWD, which is still much better than two wheel drive, unless it has the Paj running gear with low range transfer case.
