jeez that thing gets around
it belonged to a neighbour of my partner in bundaberg about 9-10 years ago and it was well and truely trashed paint was faded as and it sounded like a tractor

it got laid up last i heard cos the motor finally died but i spied it on ebay in a car yard about 6 months ago now painted blue but still with the same tan interior
