and yes i did buy this car from melbourne and it was well worth it!!! had to drive it form melbourne to brisbane and it was one of the nicest drives ive ever had, this car looks, sounds and feels great! also included with the car is a bigger set of brakes for the front and the bigger brakes have already been installed on the back, the car also has a bigger fuel tank that holds 85 litres and i have a box full of stuff from my other VL and this one that i'm throwing in with the car. the car has queensland registration until feb next year, the only other problem is to pass a roadworthy we had to put the bum of the car back at stock height, and put new tyres on it, so i still need to get the car wheel alligned and put the low springs on the back, once this is done the stock springs will be included in the sale!! cheers guys josh

oh by the way i will consider a swap for a registered hatch back up to $1000, something like a mazda 323 or a little suzuki alto or hyundai excel, etc. etc. so the hatchback and $4000 ono prefer an auto but manual will do, and in brisbane aswell!! cheers guys
