Cant as at 1600 today my time  it has been sold
Local bought it for his daughter   and wave it by by tomorrow when the
paperwork from the dealer arrives but have the crispies in my hand
Actually the thing drives a LOT better  than other proton products
had it full tilt sideways   and beat the v8 boys around the barrels
out on the clay plan .

They are not that bad  an apparently according to the bloke that
bought it   only about 15 k new on the road .

and even my old large long legged frame fits into the thing ok
---------

So with the profit  DISCLOSED to the neighbours    seesm they still
got a better deal than dicking about with the used car s*** down
south
happy as larry and save a few bob (which is  im****tant out here   as
still no bloody rain :(    )

Buyer was happy for dealer to make 700 and me 500    truth has its own
rewards eh . Turned out lesser models in used car yards  are still 5
or 6 grand above  what he paid  take off the repairs ( I was a bit
hard on it 800 to 1200) to spray & fix   bonnet d/s door   AND REPAIR
TAIL GATE

Oh and  few sides of sheep also swap hands  :) to all involved .

every one wins .
Sincere thanks into son of brumby idea . It is all too hard .
