History
My pride and joy!!
Purchased second hand in 2004 with 18,000km on the clock; Car was (and is) a great family car and stayed unmodified for the first 8 years of its life (not thrashed, never missed a beat, never crashed and always looked after....).
At around 145,000km (late 2011), I decided to "give the old girl a new lease on life" ..............
