Hi there everyone

My name is Judy and Hubby is Brett. We are a family of 5 and have just bought not just our first Patrol but our first 4x4. We live in Brisbane (for now) but in about August we are packing up and travelling around Australia. We have 2 boys and a daughter and our two boys have special needs and are having troubles/coping with school so we decided that they will learn more doing hands on than anything else.

Hope i havent gone on too much

Judy

Hi, my boy has been labelled with all kinds of 'disorders', including ADHD and Aspergers. Plus he tested as 'highly gifted'. He loves our 4x4, and when we're driving somewhere muddy, he has not a need in the world. I figure the schools have some learning to do, about how not all kids should sit in a noisy classroom. Your plan sounds like fun to me.

I know what you mean. my eldest boy has ADHD, Aspergers and a mood disorder and my youngest sons has Autism. They both cant stand alot of noise. My eldest told his class and teacher to F off only about a month ago cause they were way too noisy for him and the stupid school also put him in Chinese and the poor kid has never learnt another language. All children with special needs should never be made to learn another language. We all cant wait to travel.

Hi Growlers71gq

We have so much to learn about 4x4s and our patrol. Just had it at RACQ today and OMG. there is so much work that needs to be done. The bugger we bought it off totally ripped us off
