Testimonials

“Good morning, Jim,

I just wanted to thank you for a great weekend in the high country. Once again I have learned a lot about what my car can do but I can’t get over what beautiful country we passed through.

I can’t wait to go and see some more of it. Thank you again and please look after yourself.”

“Hey Jim,

Just a quick note to say thanks again – thanks for giving me the confidence I so desperately needed with my 60 series – it’s very empowering.

Wow – what an amazing weekend!  I learnt so much more than I thought I would! I’ll be in touch soon regarding some basic 4×4 driver training.”

Steve

“Hi Jim, just wanted to say a massive thank you for teaching and instructing me how to use my rig in a safe manner and pushing me out of my comfort zone to accomplish stuff I never thought I would or could do.

I have so much confidence in my rig and what it can do and how I need to drive it after your beginner’s course, especially those key starts, and stall stops in the manual.

This weekend I went out with my girls 4×4 club to the high country and was able to concur some hard tracks with easy and confidence. I did 8 river crossings and mastered Monument track and 16-mile jeep track which I would never have done without your training and guidance.

Thank you so much for giving me what I needed to go out and explore the country…. can’t wait to the next course to learn some more.”
