It is increasingly difficult to find anywhere you actually "need" 4wd

Dave the way I am reading your definition a 4WD is defined more by ground
clearance than the number of wheels doing the driving - interesting.
Provided it can carry all my gliding gear and tow my trailer into and out of
any paddock to retrieve when I out land I don't

Lovely to hear Jo, will you marry me?
My wife, of nearly 40 years, spends more on her hair than I do on gliding.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, will turn out right unless your hair is alright

Ah, the pitfalls of making assumptions. You are assuming my only measure of
"experience" is hours in the log book. But life experience can be just as -
