Driving lessons
A couple of weeks ago my 14 year old daughter got to drive a friends FV432 at one of our MV events. She was so pleased with herself that she wanted a go at the Carrier. So today she got her first taste of accelerator, gears and armstrong steering. I'm a proud Carrier dad, she did very well for a first attempt having never driven a manual gearbox let alone warp steering on a reasonably cambered road. LOL .

Mate, she'll probably be a damn good carrier driver, being thin and short! Hahaha! Dad fits alright into a carrier, being of smurf like dimensions, but anyone with real size legs and kiwi bloke size gut has trouble!!
 Great to see more young guns getting involved!

Good show David I had my boys driving a 4WD ute by themselves at seven.
You'll have to shout your daughter a pair of work boots so she can drive more often.

Safety Boots
Hi David - great to see her driving. However Robert beat me to the punch, steel capped safety boots are a must, metal on skin is unforgiving.
