Swan are happy to prosecute me in their internal tribunal for stupid crap such as refusing to drive an abusive old guy down his driveway (I don't go down driveways at night) but they won't do anything positive if I do something like get creative and locate a phone owner.

My options were a full door respray or a sand back and touch up on the edge of the door. I've opted for the latter because I cbf with a whole door respray for a 4-5cm scratch on the edge of the door, would mean I'd possibly get a slight difference in paint when comparing to the rest of the car if I did the whole door. Good thing with ute's.... I can load my bike up on the back so when I drop it off I don't need to bs around with taxi's or getting someone to pick me up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always put my right foot down so I can use the gears when I stop/start. its minus 1 point in the test if I do it (losing 4 is a fail). and the riding position for turning is the exact opposite for road/dirt. see how we go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
