Some 4wd drovers!!, deserve criticism on no uncertain terms!!.

...'talking more like an ol fart every day..' At least you have survived long enough to be able to consider yourself 'an old fart'. Must have done something right in your youth or just plain lucky. Lots aren't. Cheers.

hahahhaha.. problem is, I am only 37 and years from being an ol' fart (at least I should be years away). But as you suggest, this attitude has kept me alive doing more than my share of driving with clowns for a living for 12 or so years.

Cheers, Trevor.

G'day Trev,

I reckon it must be the Patrol factor. Don't know whether it is the higher fuel consumption of the patrol (compared to our old Terracan)
and the associated costs of this, or something else, as I have started to slow down a bit as well.
I did a bit of a test last time I went to Monto. I went up going faster than I should of, and came back home only doing around 90-95, and sometimes hit the 100kph, but I only saved around 30mins and chewed through a lot more diesel.
I found it isn't worth the extra fuel costs or the unexpected expense of a speeding fine or the chance of coming home in a timber box.

Maybe this ol' fart status is starting early for our generation. LOL

Greg

Hi Greg,

Good to hear from you again. Where the hell is my copy of the video of you doing that mud patch at Monto and where the hell is the pic of it in your rig page???? Cmon show us your youthful side hhehehehe.


Regards, trevor.

HI Trevor, Did some crazy things in my younger days , but can't remember going around corners bloody near on the wrong side of the road like these blokes did, scary stuff when your on the receiving end.

Cheers Axle.

Up in the watagans is a nightmare with bike riders at times, Have seen a lot of close shaves up there.

Cheers Axle.
