G'day all, just logged on, hoping to get and give good advice.

I run my own business and drive a Hiace these days, looking forward to learning a bit more about what others have discovered.

Have always been interested in engines and due to remote locations in past years had to get them running well under difficult conditions. Not that you can do a lot with modern engines, seems they are designed as redundant parts to be exchanged rather than repaired these days.

I love driving and have covered a lot of ground including long distance driving between Qld and WA, as well courier work with many jobs over 1,000 km.

Also into boating, well sailing to be more precise. Offshore Yachtmaster in fact, still do the odd delivery up and down the East coast mostly these days.

Closer to 4 days when you start from Townsville and arrive in the North West of WA.

G'day 1st Kill,

Actually I was driving new trucks with new trailers and loaded with new equipment, we (3 of us) would drive 2 new trucks and 3 trailers over, the 3d trailer on our own truck, and all return in our truck non stop.

As for sailing, I still sail as often as I can, My son has a 42 foot Catamaran and lives aboard, I fly in and he picks me up at the air port and head for the marina step aboard and we are gone in 10 minutes. we stay out about a week or 10 days at a time.

We are both Contracting these days so organising a bit of time off is no problem.

Avagoodweekend......
