    FU parking would have been a dream for me... 8 continuous hours of Continuing Professional Development for me today... some good speakers, 2 hours completely wasted; if you're wondering why I'm cranky - I left home at 5:15 am; got home 7:15pm. Sheesh.

    Karen, you should check some facts before you launch a wager. On average 30% of fatal accidents in Australia are single vehicle accidents, usually leaving the road and hitting a tree, or rollovers. Speed or alcohol not involved. You don't think that worn out shock absorbers or failing brakes might have something to do with running off the road?

    It was a good drive but you had to be careful with all the bark and leaves on the road making it slippery

    Possibly, and I'm happy to be proven wrong if you have the figures, but most of the fatals I see on the news around here are pretty clearly driver fault - So many are current model SUVs with a pole / tree / on coming car centered on the deceased's steering wheel...

    Unfortunately the only experience I had with stags, were the hand full of ****boxes I’ve worked on over the years. I must admit the note was always gorgeous.......when they were running.

    Poor build quality and poor maintenance didn’t help. Still fun though
