Found a rocky track at Lady Bay Gorge near Normanville SA. I had a few moments where I thought it was going to be laid on its side. Trouble was once I went through the first hardcore bit there was going to be trouble going back as the track was only a car width wide. There ended up being three really hard places where not only was the side angle was scary there was also a rock to climb over using the right wheel. In fact in two places I had the former plus a sharp one on the left side which I meant I could not avoid going up the steep bit so that I could remain a little more level.
Disconnect seemed to help but I still used a lot of adrenaline. I want to go back again now with a mate and camera to footage of the action.

regards a

yerr....... I even thought of that, but the keys were inside, so methinks "she will be right". yet Another prudent decision born of lazyness.
anyways I think it is the original, it was far from pristine condition.
