# That sounds ace.
I can drive in straight lines, but cornering's a bit tricky unless I've got a playstation control pad.

I can ride motorbikes though, so if we never need to get out of a tricky situation you can come on the back of whatever bike I happen to find lying about (we're talking apocalypse/28 days later scenario here)

# *files official request for side car*
I can cook eggs on a hubcap balanced precariously over a fire while keeping a lookout for raiders/untamed coyotes if it helps at all.

# Excellent.
I've never ridden with a side car, I do wonder what it's like. I suppose it means you can't lean into corners, which would feel weird.

# mini diggers are as much fun as they look.
driving still scares me, because I wouldn't trust me or any of my friends with 2 tonnes of boiling hot metal at the best of times, let alone when it's moving at 70 mph.

# I rolled a dump truck and almost lost my legs.
Racing dumpers in woods is not a good idea!

# IN THE WOODS?
Why in the woods? Weren't the trees in the way?

# I was a lumberjack* when I was a young 'un...
We made a circuit through the woods and used to belt around on our de-limited dumpers. Bloody idiots!

*I was an estate manager who cut down broken trees after the 1987 gales, but lumberjack sounds better. : )
