spent the week on light strike vehicle basic driving course.



that's the lsv.

very cool. the thing can go just about anywhere - up and down extremely steep gradients, through close vegetation, it can knock down trees, drive sideways along a slope ( that was an oh-shit-what-am-i-doing-here-i-don't-get-paid-enough-for-this moment ) etc etc. and all that is just in the basic course.

maintenance is a real bitch, though.
speaking of that, i learnt how to grease nipples today!
vehicle nipples, that is. alas.
