Spot on stik35. Actually, we did learn in a truck, then heavy bus (coach) as my intention (new career path) is to drive tourists mad. :D

I was a bad girl when I worked in the harness racing industry. I drove our truck which you needed a heavy licence for, but i didn't have one. oopss... makes ya realise how silly some car drivers are though when you're driving a truck. Especially with horses on board, you just can't slam to a stop. Same when i drove the car and float... some idiots just shouldn't have their licence before taking a couple of trips in a truck.

Madness, did the truck have a *crash box (double clutch) or just a standard gear box?

Crash box is annoying without experience.

*crash box technical term is; non synchromesh

Went to the Camberwel Market this morning for something to do. Spicy Bratwurst in a roll with Saurkraut and english mustard. Yuuuuummmmmm. Also a warm morning and lots of talent wandering about. Being tallish provides a magnificent view. :wink:

But the highlight of the morning was the worlds worst Elvis impersonator. So bad he's actually good. I'd seen him there before but didn't realise he must be a regular.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
