Meet an interesting group of people on the weekend. It was down at
Braidwood and we were on a Four Wheel
Driver Training Course.
First there was Willem & Kathleen, being Dutch he spells his name the same as Willem, and we all know Willem.
Next there was four
young blokes, the oldest about 22 years old, from Armidale area. We don't usually get
young blokes doing
driver training because at there age they already know everything about driving and don't need any help or advice about anything. Talking to the
young blokes on Saturday night they learnt that things were no different from when I was there age. I still think that all the electronic stuff that is around to-day that the
young don't know how to live life to the max. We had a real good chat and I think they did learn a bit more than just driving.
Last but not least Simon & Tina. They stood out because they had two ExplorOz stickers on the back of there ute. Had a good chat about the
Forum and some of the characters that are on the site. Hope you had a safe trip
home.
Wayne

Hi Wayne,
It was nice meeting you on the weekend, we had a great time and learned a lot. The best thing about it was the confidence that SWMBO gained from tackling some of the more challenging obstacles. Instead of getting out of the car and walking the gnarly sections like she used to I think she will want to drive them now. Could be some arguments on the horizon as to who drives.
Seeing all of the different types of cars and how they handled was interesting, especially the Jeep which handled everything easily, regardless of the good natured ribbing they copped.
How did the Ford Raider get on? Did they fix those overheating issues?
SWMBO was even talking about joining you on one of the short tours so we may see you again soon.
Simon.
