Every Jimny owner should experience this day!

I never thought I would love 4wding and was quite scared when I began the day. My partner had booked us in with him driving but then couldn't do it. And wow what an amazing day I had. Not only did the guys give me heaps of confidence and knowledge when 4 wheeldriving but now I'm hooked and want to keep going! Thank you to everyone that made the experience a memorable one and hoping to do another day when its wet.

Fantastic Jimny Day

Thanks to Adam, Ken, Brian, and Adrian, for an amazing training day at Parkley 4WD. We honestly had no idea how capable the wee Jimny is off-road until we did it ourselves, in our own Jimny, despite having watched countless videos and read reviews.
From being very cautious and nervous at the start of the day, we were happily Jimny-scampering up and down serious inclines amongst other things by the end of the day.
We would highly recommend that anyone with a Jimny contact Adam to do this training day. We're still smiling a week later!

4wheel drive training course

As a total novice to 4wheel driving I can honestly say that my confidence in my cars ability has grown 10 fold. I always fancied doing some off roading but to be honest was completely petrified about loosing control of the car and damaging myself and my car. But not any longer. My confidence grew throughout the day and I totally loved it and cannot wait to do more.
Would highly recommended 🤓

This is a must do…….

I thought it would be nice to go out and get some 4WD training so I would know what I was doing rather than just guessing and hoping for the best. After doing the course I’m telling you this is a must do course, it’s Jimny specific and all the training is Jimny based. The instructors are amazing and patient and you build your skills and confidence slowly and steadily. By the end of the day everyone was trying everything and having fun doing it. There were a couple of partners that didn’t even want to drive at the start that ended up driving everything and wanting more. I’m definitely more confident, safer and know what my Jimny can do now. Will definitely be doing a winter one 😎

Confidence building

I signed up for the 4wd driver training day so that I could learn more about what the Jimny could do and in the process I learnt what I could do.
It was fun, educational and I drove places I never would have had the confidence to drive without the support of the instructors.

Great day out

Excellent course gradually building our confidence to take on challenges. I feel much better prepared to handle more challenging real-life outings. It is amazing what the little Jimny can do!

Best training day for a newbie.

17 year old son and I went on this course. We have a week of full on 4WD'ing ahead starting the following day. 17yr old has his full license but has never been off road and is (was) anxious about the week ahead. This course covered many of the basic 4WD situations in a way that was easy to remember. We started at ~0900 and finished ~1600. My only complaint, if you could call it that, was the 17yr old hogged the drivers seat. He's raring to go on our trip now though. If you are new to 4WD'ing I would recommend this day.

Great day out

Great day out, excellent introduction to the capabilities of the Jimny.
I highly recommend this course for those new to off road driving and to all new Jimny owner's. The course is well run, safe and a lot of fun.
