could have been me, though I don't go out that way very often...you're more likely to find me around the western and northern suburbs and close to the city

Been a while since I updated this...now has VZ taillights in it and have changed a couple of small things like the console lid and gearshift button (both now Calais bits :) )

Also running a soft tonneau cover on it while I wait for my hardlid to be resprayed (filled spoiler holes in)
