Introduction to 4x4 Driving Techniques

[Mad Manny]

Do we have to pay to drive the trail?
Or have you made a deal?

You won't be driving the trail...

Why do you say that big boy?
If we finish by lunch we still have time...

Why not?

[Mad Manny]

As I understand it, we will finish in the afternoon.
Shaun can't give a time - he is Afrikaans & they can't plan.
But, if there is time, please feel free to do the course, or at least, obstacle 10 - Survivor!

Thanks to everyone involved. Was really worth while attending.

[Mad Manny]

Firstly, a MASSIVE Thank You! to Shaun, he booked the venue & arranged the days content.
Shaun, the 4x4 Action Group thanks you...

Then a big Thank You to Andre Strauss & Dirk DVR for imparting their knowledge with us.

The 3 presenters, together, have nearly 100 years of Wheelin' experiance & it showed, they were struggling to keep it basic as the amount of knowledge they wanted to impart burst forth.
DVR in particular was struggling containing himself.

It's days like today that put the 4x4 Action Group ahead of nearly every other 4x4 club in SA...

[Mad Manny]

Shaun & I will discuss a follow up Intermediate 4x4 Driving day which will include more practical.

I am also speaking to a highly qualified Paramedic (& Club Member) about a half day First Aid course - I think Dirk highlighted it's importance.

Today's course cost only R202.00 which barely covered the venue hire & certificates.

The follow up course will be around R606.00, but those who attended today will get a R202.00 discount...

More details in due course...
