Robert is an automotive journalist and keen four-wheel driver. His website Life’s too short for boring cars, YouTube Channel (Link) and Facebook Page are filled with advice and useful information. This is the second time that Robert has been to the Club, previously giving us a presentation on Electric 4WD Vehicles. We’re really pleased to have Robert back again…

The meeting proceedings will start at 7pm, but come early for dinner and a chat before hand.

Robert’s website has more articles about Remote Communications and Starlink.

Published by Club 4x4

Join Angelo and Club 4×4 for another spring day trip heading out to Cobaw State Forest, near Lancefield.

It’s only an hour or so from home. This trip is not for the faint of heart. There are very technical sections, deep ruts and plenty of rock climbing to be had. It will require not only a great deal of concentration, but also a well set up vehicle and knowledge on how to handle these types of tracks.
