I went over to Mooses place a couple of days ago to adjust up my brakes and then have a BBQ.

We ended up 'testing' the brakes in the backyard.

We then took our boys for a ride. I took it real slow because my son is a bit small for the harness.

Moose even managed to fit in a driving lesson.

My buggy then decided it was going to stop just as it was getting dark. We eventually diagnosed the problem (bad earth on the distributor).

Right on. We see a lot of pictures here of the work everybody does on their cars, and fewer pics like yours, of a buggy in use. Good to see someone out having fun behind the wheel, rather than under it.

So is that the Outback, out back? Sorry, couldn't help myself.

It looks a little like the outback but no it isn't. Moose is one of the few people that have a really big slice of land close to the city. He is only 15 minutes from the city centre. He found that place last year, a real rare find!

This will give you a rough idea of where we were,

I work in the outback (a Gold mine at a place called Wiluna), it's about a two hour flight to get to work. There are some great buggy tracks there. I might take my buggy up there one day.
