I was having a quite drink with my two adult sons, and the
conversation was about our first 4wd, a Short Wheelbase Toyota
it was a 1980 model. we purchased it when it was Two years old.
I had absolutely no experience in four wheel driving, when we were invited to go camping on Moreton Island. I still remember when we were going across on the vehicle ferry, and could hear this hissing sound,
When I investigated where the noise was comming from, it was
the other drivers letting the air out of their tyres, But hey I had
4wd tyres and nothing was going to stop me I dont to have air out, WRONG, as soon as I drove off the ferry ramp onto the soft
sand I buried it to the diffs. Ok I learnt the hard way. in the two weeks we were their I gained experience in sand driving,after that
I was working for the government, inspecting pipe line easements
in the bush ect, and wore out several 4wd-s, over the years.
that was twenty years ago, and you still pick up new tricks now,
you are never to old to learn.
