How is your Haiku hanging'? Add it here please!
Right on Tim...Syncro gone smile stays....whew that's deep man..I was feeling bongo beatnik!

Why did I U-Turn so quick
"Patrol On".....two wheels!

On G60 Simpson Desert trek, we were driving into Lyndhurst SA from Inammincka and we were driving into night the last 1 hour. Anyhow a huge storm hit, massive wind, rain, realized how crap G60 headlights were, I jumped on the rear of fellow members, i a modern car, and followed blindly his taillights, however got dropped and back at 30km per hour as headlights are chit.
