We're all gonna die Steve

. He's been driving around in the paddocks since he was about 9 with me in the car and on his own for a couple of years (more recently) but it's pretty much 2nd gear maximum...a lot different (as he now knows

) slowing from highway speed to take a 90 degree corner into a narrow road.

He's driven me home 3 times now, with a mix of highway and winding country back roads, and seems to be getting the hang of it now. He's driving to footy and home this arvo and to work and back tomorrow so that's another 100km or so.

Dragon; I did a bit of "Brake"..."Brake now!"..."Brake NOW!!"..."BRAKE NOW!!!" the first day but it's all good now. We haven't driven around town yet, maybe next week.

It's all good! I'll have to do it all again in a couple of years with my daughter
