    4WD training in Shepparton area

    Hi All,

    Does anyone knows of any 4wd training I can participate preferably with a group in Shepparton or closer areas.

    I did my 4wd training about 5 years back (TAFE) and like to refresh.

    Thanks.

    Hi mate,
    I imagine one of the clubs up that way would do some training.
    I'd have a look at the 4wd Victoria website to see who which clubs are active in the area.

    1997 GQ Patrol RX, TB42E. Mods: OME 2" lift, 33" BFG KM2'S, ARB winch bar & reconditioned X9 Superwinch, IPF 900 spotties HID conversion, ARB side steps and scrub bars, Kaymar rear step & spare wheel carrier & jerry holder, Rear 55W LED worklight, Safari Snorkel, 147L LRA tank, Extended diff breathers, dual batteries, GME UHF, Home built drawer and fridge slide, ARB 60L fridge.

    I did some advanced driver training with Eric Montgomery (ex police) in the Shep area years ago.

    Not sure if the school is still in existence but our course went over a number of days and was good stuff.

    As an ex teacher the course really was the classic definition of education. Ie Education is what you remember after you have forgotten what you were taught! I still do what I was told to do there.

    Cheers

    I left a message today and didn't hear anything back from DECA.

    I will give it a go tomorrow and see what happens.

    Cheers,
