A couple of weeks ago I got a short notice work trip to Melbourne.  I was to go from Tullamarine Airport to Essendon Airport to meet my ride.  This is what I saw on after my "driver" picked me up at Essendon.

I had to catch a taxi to Essendon. The "ride" was from Essendon to Moorabbin. An even more painful drive.

The steering felt a bit soggy and I had a problem with the dampers.
