Cool i'll keep my eyes open for ya on the coast. Live there also. Great to see ovals around. Somebody drives a nice looking oval and i thinks works near the gold coast arts centre or offices near bye seen it a few times now on my travels. Looks great. full louvered rear lid wonder what might be lurking beneath !!!!

Get the pics up mate !

hi bugboy,
maybe we could catch up some time (all the gold coasters) and do a bug cruise or something, in regards to the oval you talking about if it's a white one it has a 912 motor in it......:D

Not seen the white one around but will keep my eyes open now for it.
The one i have seen is silver / grey in colour. I'll have to keep my eyes open next time i see it.
Cruise meet up could be cool see how many people on the gold caost there is !!
