75,000 km and I think that's too much for my 8 year old AU so it doesn't leave the garage that much
It's a life term for the car - no way I'm going to replace it

Saw this ute close up on the weekend, and must say, it is iin immaculate condition! You should be real proud of it. By the way, I saw the seats, and they are unlike any others i've seen. Did you figure out what they were?

PS, my offer still stands, silver for black, straight swap....;)
