I got some medals, but now better still, a 6mnth contract at my rate woo hoo.

How many here attended the Annual Driver comp @ ruapuna last weekend?
Wasn't a bad weekend, had a blast on the track and I do believe I am still the only one to ever handbrake slide a Type 1 on purpose
May do it again next year, still dont think ill win it, looovveee slaying those cones

We do our stuff thru DriveNZ, mainly 4wd light and heavy on and off road

Talking about driving. Just sat my Class 2 Full, and passed. Now just got to book my ERD..

nice one. i'm doing mine on tuesday, what was involved?

Pretty much the same as car licence, if you can remember that far back haha..

General driving in urban and semi rural roads for me (Pukekohe).
Had to reverse for about 15 metres.

Just like the car test. Obey all road rules and keep checking your mirrors and don't go above the posted speed limit (at all) and you'll be fine.

Yup, did pump course back in April...

Cool, into it. I've got a heap of training coming up. Pump and erd, we are doing the first response medical in four weeks and I've got to book in for a sff course in Vegas to so that's 19 days training I think. Busy next 6 months or so I guess

When are you looking at doing your SFF? I've had my pre course since April, but been a bit slack...
