Well, at least I have visited Melbourne on a few occasions in a previous life!

I am based in Falkirk, Scotland – manage and operate a website http://www.citylocal.co.uk/cities/Falkirk/ but in love with our “horse tractor” – LR Disco TD5. The family car may be faster but not it cannot pull horse + box + greenlane!

Why am I here? Why not? I have always liked Oz, like 4 x 4′s and what the hell.

Tip:

4x4 Preparation<br> The first thing to do before any unfamiliar water crossing is to walk it. If you cannot walk it you cannot cross it. If the water is flowing too quickly to safely walk the crossing, then it cannot be driven across. Remember, 4x4 's actually float until water seeps into them. When you walk the crossing you are actually starting your vehicle preparation. You are giving the axles, diffs and gearbox time to cool down while you find out exactly how deep the water is.
