Yaza... my eldest son
He also drove my old BMW 5 Series....Lancer..KIA...VW ......
............but d' choice................
Got his 1st own landcruiser...Fortunner ... a smaller one.. 3 years ago......ok
He believes...on this TALL.... big easy... clear height vision..... car
Soon before he turned 18th birthday..... d' 1st idea of driving... eh ..learning.. was to take... a test drive with my old BIG car... so.. I let him go... A TRY... (why NOt.. eldest child)... it was somewhere... in 2003 ????
To drive... an exciting experience... yes.. found it difficult ..ok ...but soon U learn d' trade... used to it.. turned out easier... so when ...came to real Landtransport TEST driving... he came out with FLYing colours... even before reach d' deadline.. (earlier.... a month as said as should have d' real test drive..... coz..d' car was much smaller... much easier to handle..aaa.. more..)
