Thanks. Recently purchased a forward fold and searched "towing a trailer to Davies". I ran cattle from tom groggin to the high country in the mid 80's and always promised myself id go back.

Triton driver does not understand IFS and where he HAS to place his wheels to maintain traction, and therefore the car cops much more punishment than it has to. Oh, the music was most annoying. Piss it off.

Who is the clown running around in pink pajama's? Too many people, standing in the wrong places giving too many conflicting directions. Circus. No wonder pink clown made a meal of it! And then I saw the blue clown!? A virgin Ranger on Mountain track. Hmmm. Gotta end in tears. Your are off-road, so adjust your tyres for off-road, you might find everything works a little better, compliant tyres moulding to the rocks, not bouncing around and having to use too much speed. All fine to have a bit of fun with the costumes, but you are not dressed for the task or the environment. If you had to spend the night stuck in the bush after the weather changed, how do you think you'd fair? Gunna look real nice laying in the mud changing a tyre or two. Or didn't that sort of eventuality cross your minds? Just wanted a bit of fun.
