It was no ones fault and while it was close they didn't actually hit me (they really should have been paying attention) but it was so close and I didn't hear a thing. I'm more observant now.


Peter did you live and have a dome at Engadine (or thereabouts, my memory isn't great) back around 94?
I was delivering Crystal soft drinks in the south of Sydney and one customer had a nice dome in the yard, his wife said he was a commercial pilot. From memory I only delivered the drinks when the wife was home. I didn't meet the husband but I would have loved to have had a look at the dome.
It is true you have to have a good look in the reversing camera before moving in an EV. I have surprised many a shopper by having the car move silently.

As for the dome, yes we were in Engadine for a short time. I would have been on the B767 fleet with Qantas then....but it was before '94 and, sorry, we never ordered soft drinks.....just a case of wine or maybe two
