Driving

Well I got the chance to try out some driving today.  Not exactly off-road but close enough.  You can tell by my expression that I had to concentrate really hard.  Not just the driving on the wrong side, or even the dust and slippy stoney surface, but the mad bus drivers that charge towards you or appear from nowhere and overtake anywhere they feel like.  Don't think I'm really allowed by VSO or the college but don't tell anyone.  I think the driving test here is: Drive forward for 100 yards and turn around.  I blamed having a gear stick and handbrake on the right hand side for the close misses with other vehicles.

you look super cool. is your vehicle in the shape of a giant porcupine? it seems to be leaving a porcupine shaped shadow on the ground. maybe it's just my eyes. i left a comment on the pool rules bit, only realised after your text that this was up and running. i'll email you later.

Woody, mate I am new to your blog but am so glad I have now blogged-in; it's a scream. Can I give you a tip for driving on the dark continent - get the tracking sorted. Your steering wheel seems to be aligned so that a central position takes the vehicle in a straight line. This is a remnant of coloial snobbery. Get a big hammer to the axel and drive the car askew like the real owners of the road - the buses.
