But Josh can't do anything.

He only makes coffees for the workers that actually do things at CS.

:D

Exactly. Lucky they don't drink any coffee so my role is effectively a token role...... the coffee boy for the execs just so that they can say they have a coffee boy.

That wasn't full power! It was in low range which makes it sound like it's revving higher. You need grunt to get out of sand.

And also, LOL at the 2 day training course.
Try 10 days in the Victorian High Country. 7 days in Yengo NP, 3 days in the Watagans, plus another day trip there a few months ago, dozens of day trips to Ourimbah state Forest, full day at Stockton Beach, and probably more. This ain't my first time ;)

I grew up beach front and drove the olds Beach Range Rover since I was pretty much a baby LOL up and down the beach.
Was their dedicated beach vehicle, was lifted a bit, manual gearbox and a slightly tricked up 8 in it.

You need grunt to get out of sand but you don't bring it on in the form of fast acceleration, being smooth is key so that you stop the wheels from spinning, spinning the wheels is the quickest way to end up down to the sills in sand.

Smooth acceleration yes, but stopping is the quickest way to get stuck... Which was definitely proved yesterday... We were fine when we were moving but as soon as I stopped I got bogged and and soon as Steve lost momentum, he sunk into a river. Gotta keep moving moving :)

This too :D, you can stop on sand.. just make sure it is not soft sand.

They are getting old as you can tell from his latest video.


But they used to be good and probably one of the last times they'll come down here.

I'm never cleaning my car again.

Yesterday I was really hungover, couldn't be arsed cleaning my whole car. (Hasn't been cleaned in 3 weeks, super-dirty)

Cleaned my BBS rims, and the whole car looks mega-clean.




Like cleaning my car without cleaning my car. Win.

This is true. I've often just cleaned the rims and it makes the whole car look clean. Though it only takes me 5 mins to do this :)
