Coffin Bay
Hi Guys,
Thought it was high time i posted a trip report. Since owning the cruiser i haven’t been able to get out in her much. A couple of small days trip here and there and thats about it.
Anyway, went down to Coffin Bay national park a couple of weekends ago. I have been there before and wanted to take my mum down there for a look so we just went for the day. Being a sunday there wasn’t too many others around, i reckon maybe 6 other cars spread out over the place, so it was very nice.

When driving off road, it is important not to place your thumbs on the inside of the steering wheel. When driving over any large ruts or potholes, the wheel could suddenly turn. This may result in the thumb being bruised or even dislocated if it is left inside the rim. Remembering to leave your thumbs on the outside of the steering wheel is a very easy skill to acquire and should become second nature to you. With power steering fitted to most 4×4's these days, this technique is not as critical as the power steering unit dampens out sudden steering wheel movements as well as steering stabilizers. Owners of non-power steering vehicles will have undoubtedly experienced at some time the force at which the steering wheel turns when hitting an obstruction.
