I've flown R22 helis, a jabiru [aircraft, not bird :P], mastered a ferry, used a bob-cat and back-hoe and even driven a train, not to mention car, bike and even used my legs...

Bobcat = Skid Steer
Backhoe
Train (sure can't do that in the us)
I hate cars
bikes use to much human power
legs are worthless

A|A, most of the time, be it on a train, ferry, no longer planes unfortunately, but if you ask the driver, most the time they will let you come into the cabin or what-have-you, and show you what it's all about!

I am not sure how easy things are in USA anymore due to terrorism etc..

I have a friend with no legs that gave me one of his old legs as a birthday present XD I have a leg sitting around in my room.

Nope, I did. ;D

Lucky you.

Only been on a train once... Everything else belongs to someone I know that let me drive it.

In an old topic you posted a pic of you "working" in a excavator - so why is this so special  :P
Title: Re: GUESS WHAT I GOT TO DRIVE.
Post by: Agent|Austin on August 15, 2008, 19:07:39
Because this isn't my normal machine. ;)

I am usually on a machine that is 5 tons bigger, plus this was newer, and didn't have busted out glass. And I have never driven a loader that big before.

I had a go in a JCB a few years ago - tiny, nowhere near that  ::)
Title: Re: GUESS WHAT I GOT TO DRIVE.
Post by: Agent|Austin on August 15, 2008, 19:14:22
JCB, telehandler? or JCB what? :p

JCB makes allot of different machines.

But my usual machine is 20.3 tons with the thumb and long undercarriage (CL)

That's what I did.  The only time he actually told me to do something that wasn't like "Now you don't know the route so just drop down to N2." was when I missed a wistle post. :-\ ;D

Later on we got quite a scare, There was some one in the middle of the tracks reading a magazine.  No matter how much I blew the horn he wouldn't move. :o  We were only going about 20mph but still be had slow down to a crawl until he noticed us. ::)  I think he couldn't hear through his left ear or something.
