Enjoy what you have in life
A guy in a van pulls up next to a Rolls-Royce at a red light and asks,
“Hey, is your car Bluetooth enabled?” The Rolls owner nods.
“So is mine. Got Wi-Fi?”
The Rolls owner nods again. “Me too.
What about a double bed?”
“No. Do you?” asks the Rolls guy.
“Yep.” The light changes and the van takes off.
Jealous, the Rolls guy heads to a Pimp My Rolls customising shop and gets a double bed installed, then drives around until he finds the van parked on the side of the road. He raps on the window.
“Guess what? I got a double bed put in my car too.”
The van owner peers out. “You got me out of the shower to tell me that?!”

First Vehicle owned and driven.
Holden HQ Kingswood. Manual three shift steering column. Bench seat, drum brakes and a 202 (3.3L) six cylinder engine. Purchased used.
Driven over much of Victoria.
To gain a driving licence, Traveldriven learnt to drive in a Holden HQ with a manual gear column shift. An annoyance with a HQ column shift were sticking gear linkages underneath the bonnet. Usually a light tap would free it up. On one of the early driving lessons, gears were increasingly harder to change. The licenced car owner said to use some force when changing. I said I shouldn't have to do that. 'No, go ahead it's ok'. So I did and the gear shifter stalk broke and snapped off in my hand. I kept the clutch pedal depressed and braked to a stop. Occasionally, alone in my own HQ, stopped at traffic lights I would have to lift the bonnet to free up the linkages.
A lesson learnt.
Unexpected things happen when driving.
Driving Australia
Traveldriven has driven much of Australia over decades.
Not all regions are shown on Traveldriven.net
For regional driving, it's best to travel with a full size spare tyre, jack and wheelbrace.
Be aware dawn & dusk brings out roadside wildlife. Avoid highway driving at night. Often wildlife collisions will happen after dark.
Overnight roadside motels are a convenient practical option for consecutive days of greater than 500 km of travel. Take regular driving breaks at interesting sites.
Whatever the car, I find driving enjoyable and paradoxically to many, also relaxing. GT driving enhances this. I drive in clear or adverse weather. Solo or in company. Cities, mountains or desert highways. Before driving retirement I would like to test drive an electric performance car. This is the future. Drive on.
