Oh dear, the trouble begins.  Quite a few where I am.  Prepare to be tailgated by many a Navara and Hilux.

As someone once said to me a while ago, "You must have a lot of money if you can afford to buy cheap shoes".  I'll always spend that little more to get something of good quality that will last.
