Do members get any insight into other members from the avatars? I see opinions are developed about members from posted comments but what about from the avatars displayed.

Question: should you accelerate out of the sway or just take your foot off the accelerator to slow down. I expect the use of the brake i...

Campervan on a Train?
(Preview)
OK, might sound a bit wacky. Just a thought. We can't really take months off work at this stage, but 2-3 weeks is manageable. If I wanted to drive from Sydney to Perth for example, but come back on the train. Is that doable? Or a mad idea? For a Sprinter size campervan (not motor home) Just found a random s...
