Being one of those nomads that cruise along at around 90kph (LC200 and 2.5t van) it does surprise me at times to be rounded up by fellow caravan owners doing easily 110kph, towing sometimes quite large vans. I know every tow vehicle and van combination each have their own parameters but I'm interested...

I'm thinking of treating myself to an early Christmas present ie. some night vision gear. It seems there are two types: 1 - photo multiplier tubes 2 - infrared/thermal PMT is serious tech and expensive ($10k+) so they're out and, very annoyingly, it seems they are illegal in Oz! Which leaves IR stuff o...

A thread similar to this may have been started before, if so, my apologies but no harm in starting again - bit of fun. In 2016 we were on the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, driving to our B&B for the night in a little village called Finsbay. Driving along the scenery was nothing but hi...

Going back a few years ago, when doing interstate, I used NO DOZE to make an extra kilometer. They helped me to stay awake, keep alert, and were perfectly safe, Best of all, they were about five bucks a box. More recently, when asked by a young driver what was available to help him keep awake. I told him abo...
