All we'll drive

Oh, and while I'm in the photo-posting mood, a scary moment from work last week...
You can see faint tracks on the right where I went up (2nd gear low range for perspective, they never look as steep in photos), and not-so-faint tracks on the left where I came down a lot faster going backwards:

A closer look:

Where I finally managed to reverse out of it (truck is exactly as it stopped), just before it would have got a whole lot worse:

Whoever said a Hilux couldn't get the adrenaline going?

Winters on the way...
Got some picture messages from the relatives in Timmers standing in the snow and it looks bloody cold. Its amazing as in the past it just never snows there but last year they got a good snowfall too!Kylie said:
...and talk about leaving the reverse turning to the last second !
Oh I was trying, believe me! You can see from the 4 separate lines that it had a fair bit of angle on most of the way down. Where the 2 middle lines cross over is probably where I tried the brakes again and the nose really started to swing out.Kylie said:
