Gees! Lachy,
You certainly know how to knock the Wind out of ones SailsNo I was just being a Shiite!

Not really in storage, just conveniently up so the Car can get in the garage. I have 3 vehicles in the one garage space now. Mind you the Tardis is a bit crowded with the front end of the cat in there. Just hope it doesn't hit a black hole during the night or we will all be in the C**p.

Yeah! Blake
We do have some pretty nasty critters here in Aus', If they ain't the deadliest then they go awful near. Taipans, King Brown Snakes, Funnel Web Spiders. Down here in Tas' we have an Ant called the Jumping Jack. Nasty little bugger, one or two may well give you something to think about but a whole plethora of them might send a victim into Prophylaxis Shock and death. There are Inchman Ants which also really nasty, I have an allergic reaction to these sods, a bad swelling extending out from the Sting. They come in both a Red/Brown or Blue/Black color and are aggressive, offend them and they will actively hunt for you.(I **** you Not) Blue Bottles are another nasty. They look like an Ant are a Shiny Metallic Blue in color with Red/Orange Legs and Pincers and have their Sting in their Tail. These are a Wingless Wasp and get around in a aggressive jerky action with their Tails in the air ready to strike if you upset them. I have stood on them a couple of times and copped it in the Arch of the Foot-------------YEEEOuch! Don't half make you hope.
As yet I don't know of any Spiders that use Braided Ropes for Webs but there are a couple up North that perhaps should, they catch and eat small birds. Their Webs are a wonderful thing to walk into at night, sticky things that hang onto you as you try to run backwards away from them. A Tad Off Putting to say the least.[}:)][}:)]

In our original mini the mast step was offset so that the steering was in a straight line hand steer(a cheap version of a blokart). Later versions got rid of mast step braces hand steering and offset mast.

Thanks TP1

That is good to know, as it is only a few hours since HIKO posted that and I was concerned. Not only that it triggered my thinking as to how I can get around the problem of Short Legged People Unlike Great Long Legged Beasts like yourself and My Little Boy Travis of 6'6" For him I will probably have to fit Schrodinger's Cat with Steering Pegs on the Front Fork

Actually posted the pic a few weeks ago along with a pic of a child using foot steering with padding behind to enable her to reach
Havent used the blokart type steering for over a year now I find the kids get used to the foot steering well enough as long as they can reach the pedals
I guess I should not have posted the hand steering pic without showing the foot rests as well
I have always preferred foot steering but I havent heard any one say the blokart type steering is unsafe before
I can imagine howls of outrage at that !

No apologies necessary its all good discussion Good chance to update the thoughts as it were
Have to say you've probably done more and learnt more in a short time than most that have played with these landyachts
