We took the coupe out for a run on Saturday which, for a change, was nice weather.

I managed to get a decent photo down near Minimurra Cathedral Rocks which I thought I'd share.

You must have driven past may place on the way to Cathedral Rocks. I'll keep an eye out next time and hopefully get a look at your XC Coupe in the flesh

I see you don't drive her too hard, hence the sticker is still mint on the rear tyres;)

Ha ha,....of course you wouldn't, only a fool would do that : and you're looking at him. :voldar02: The worst part is the price that I sold it for.

on the bright ( maybe not ) side I replaced it with this rust bucket..







...and this is the last pic I have of the "repair" work so far..but its nearly finished now and so is my bank account :



I'll eventually start a build thread when I get all the pictures...
