Think you can get locked up for taking "day trips". So might get in the DMax and travel up for a day. We will have to leave the kids at home and usually get in trouble for leaving a 9 year old to look after a nearly 1 year old for more than 24 hours.

yep, although thats changing I think. I have noticed more young children wearing leashes, so maybe chokers and zap collars are next?

I thought leashes were a bit hard-core/old fashioned until my son did a runner in the shopping centre. Never leave home without the doggy backpack aka leash now :cup:

Its a pity that kids (including our kids) don't have one of those shut down cord things like on a jet ski so when the take of the cord comes out and they shut down.  ;D

Though if it was that easy the cord would never get put back in  ;D ;D

Anyways, back to cup weekend, will look at getting there for at least a day.

Sounds like a plan, assuming caravans are welcome ... ?

Recently upgraded from our Chinese hardfloor to an Expanda ... Luxury!

Its a pity that kids (including our kids) don't have one of those shut down cord things like on a jet ski so when the take of the cord comes out and they shut down.  ;D

I'll have two for our kids, please!

Will there be many kids there (ours are 6 & 2)?
