OK, I'll post an earlier picture to what I just put up.
Now as you can see, the combination is clearly facing the wrong way on a major expressway, and prior to this was going backwards at 90km/h, albeit briefly.

Yes, that is the then brand new northern expressway, and that was just a couple of weeks after it had opened, so I believe I have the 'distinction' of having the first decent accident on it.
In any case... Post the best, nicest, and proudest picture you have taken of your car. That's taken by you, not a professional (unless you are one )

I reckon this should just about do it. The van is a '99 model, at a guess, the Holden behind it is not far off that.

That was my dads (When it was his) creation after the clear on the red bonnet & boot started peeling, I always hated the silver bonnet (& boot) I HATE CARS WITH MULTI-COLOURED PANELS. Problem is he sent the bonnet & boot away to be scrapped . So its not my fault!! But its all fixed now. Still have to post the piccys in its thread..... You know I would Kris, I would have if I had it when you put it up.......
