It's 8 weeks old and I have already put 6,000 kms on it - not sure how that happened. It's amazing what you can fit on that tray. It can also change into 4WD at 90 kms an hour, though why you'd be driving 90 kph and needing 4WD I've yet to figure out.Sara interruptedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421322635976708839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923254699323311906.post-44214027288383099362011-04-01T11:05:40.532+08:002011-04-01T11:05:40.532+08:00Oh I've seen some classics since moving to Que...Oh I've seen some classics since moving to Queensland...
