Gday muddy
Hmmm it’s actually pretty similar as not much longer & no gas left in the tank

A long story for another day but on coight adventures it’s always a adventure well seemed that way
Cheers

@Farleg In preparation for the time that you make the journey to my neck of the woods, I’ve started training a driver. After the cartridges are spent, and time around the camp fire has ceased, we may need one. I’m sure we can talk @joe16 into riding up for a couple days. Couple more hammerheads not to far also. The reloading/shooting/rompus room shop will be done in another month or so. I’ll put a few bunks in there for you galoots.

Here’s a pic of the driver in training. View attachment 6784

Can’t wait

Already started the planning & just incase driver fatigue starts to set in I’ll bring this guy along

But he doesn’t go anywhere without his bodyguard

Cheers

 

[Farleg]

If I ever go visit Fordy, we’ll find out!
If they allow such as that down under????

Gday Jessej

Bloody bow hunters

You get here & we will find out although it won’t be in Tassie as not allowed here
But some other states I believe it’s ok but will find out from my mate on the mainland that uses a stick & string a bit or Alex may know as he’s bow mad like you once that’s found out it’s only make a plan of attack &see

Cheers

Stick & String is still used by some in QLD

Maybe I can be the driver if I were to ever get “down under”! I’m almost as qualified as some of the drivers shown ! I bought a Suzuki Jimny which was imported “stateside” and have been practicing! For those not familiar…..right hand steer! memtb

It's the "right" side, actually

 

[JesseJ]

It's the "right" side, actually

That’s what I said! The right side is wrong! The left side is right!

I may have just confused myself

 

[Farleg]

Gday
It’s seriously funny to watch everyone go to the wrong side time after time & don’t worry it’s the same for us over there so no right nor wrong just love the laughs & banter

Just a thought of you guys get over here it is like going back to preschool all over as even the pedestrian side needs to be aware the cars are coming a different way
So I’ll keep that in mind for the next arrivals & uniforms are a must

Maybe seeing memtb has put his hand up for chauffeur we should take that up as we would all be safe
Hmmm driving miss daisy comes to mind & in the jimmy of course

Cheers

Tell me about it

Had this little guy since 2008;



I call it my Wonton because it's rated for 1000kg (one tonne).

Always good for a grin. (...or a groan if someone says the steering wheel is on the 'wrong' side )

You're welcome to come up for some 'training' if ya like, Todd this one's got 5 on the tree, so if you can drive it, you can drive anything

 

[Muddyboots]

I tried driving in UK million years ago in Flintstone car and that was "exciting" as understatement. Downunder, Asked if I wanted to drive out of Adelaide and based upon extensive nightmares, yielded GLADLY! After I saw the driving coming out, I realized how "smart" I was!

“5 on the tree”……that my be challenging! But, a never shirk a challenge! Well, except for shooting my AI from the “weakside”! memtb

I say go for it. Fordy will let you drive the ute, the only difference is is you shift gears with your left hand.

My bet is you'll stay on the dirt roads as Rusty, Mike and I did, too easy to make a stupid mistake. Our muscle memory is geared for right hand drive.

It will be the greatest experience of your life visiting tazzy and the Taswegian.

What’s different about using your left hand?
That’s normal here. Sounds like even Tasmania do it right.

Riding in the passenger seat in the front is exciting in fast heavy traffic!

I’m a really good driver. But Not much a a rider!

 

[Muddyboots]

Back country driving I would be in. City driving, 3' to bumper, not knowing exits, sharing same lane is much more exciting.

 

[HARPERC]

I've never been the best driver from either side. Most of my friends drive better backwards than I do forward.

Easy fixed I’ll have this waiting for you so you feel @ home

My prediction is, they'll dance with the Jeffries before they drive to Chudleigh for chips.

Just sayin
