they're common as! I think the neighbour drives one. it's pretty tired tho.. think its a vacationer. and i know of a clean one with 16" speedy mags going around. They're pretty ordinary looking.. you'd be better getting a bunch of calais' cos the only difference as far as i'm aware is the decals. and maybe the insignia on the number plates of the time.

i work at royal perth yacht club, home of the america's cup. bondy's club! :mrgreen: having a big memorial ceremony thing for 10 years and they want to escort people around in them because thats what they did back then. could use calais' but the decals and insignia are the whole reason they want them. might require the services of you and your vehicle rob who knows hehe. ill just call the licensing centre twice a day until i get a cancellation :mrgreen: ps. rob ill get your carton to you one day! ill do it this weekend (if i remember :roll: )

Really??? Couldn't have asked him via PM? You really had to dig up a 9 year old thread to ask him if he is online? Also given his profile says "Last Activity: 09-02-12 23:16" which you could have gotten without replying to a 9 year old thread, i'd say he's not going to see this any time soon - he hasn't logged in in over 7 months.

does it actually matter in the slightest that he has done that? the way your carrying on is like he's said something to offend you
