Had a phillips head screwdriver slip today, and it went right through a finger. Have got plenty of scars on hands due to a life of doing stuff, but I can tell you this hurt more for a little while, than most anything else. I don't recommend it. Does feel somewhat better now though after a few hours. Cheers,...

Will your brake controller work with advanced safety aids?

Gday... My only comment is to read past the first half of the article that is probably telling many on this forum 'how to suck eggs'. The latter part of the article is very enlightening ... particularly if one owns a modern, 'electronic' vehicle. Despite those comments, as always, the whole article is...

On our recent trip to the Upper Murray/Alpine region of VIC & NSW we stayed at three Tumbarumba Shire Council free camps. They were immaculate, had basic toilets & plenty of bins. The signage describing the camping regulations was also good common sense. Well done!
