Title: 4WDing
Post by: Hollowaymoon on April 09, 2013, 09:15:57 PM: Hubby returned home this evening pumped to the eyeballs from a 4WD course to ramp up his limited knowledge. He took our trusty rodeo through ravines, washouts, soft sands and huge rock climbs, emergency braking on loose surfaces and lots of other stuff and would do it all again in a heart beat just for the thrill of it.

Time for a :4x4: :4x4: :cheers:

Post by: Hollowaymoon on April 09, 2013, 09:31:25 PM: Well, I would put up the pics if I could get them off the forward facing camera, just not at that nerdy stage yet but will try.

Cost of the day was $288 from 8am till 5pm including lunch and coffees etc....

The course is available in Cairns, but the actual driving takes place somewhere outside of Kuranda.

Post by: 03hilux on April 11, 2013, 08:11:35 PM: I did a 4wding corse a few years ago, and was surprised with the amount of new knowledge i walked away with. I only think twice now instead of three time when i come across a tricky situation.

Post by: Hollowaymoon on April 11, 2013, 09:11:49 PM: Now I need to do a course in keeping my mouth shut because apparently I'm a very very bad back seat (front seat in our case) driver. :o :o but I don't believe it!!!!
