Just run in :) Got plenty of good life in her yet...

Is this on the early Liberty? is so that is pretty low kms for what would be around a 1991 model.

yeah its a 91 lib. I bought it with only 95K on the clock 6 years ago. It was originally owned by an elderly couple in northern NSW, then by a gold coast school teacher who lived 2 minutes form work. its been a bloody great car. The previous owner would be amazed how the car has changed and where its been in the last 6 years ;)

neither.

the car has a pretty tricked up auto in it. the FWD light now actually shows open center AWD. One day I will rewire it so it is indicating Four Wheel Drive (locked center)

RSR: you could say she's been around ;) The car has toured every state except WA.

HaHaHa.. Me too, I'm from Brissy.

Just ask the boss for an extra 4 weeks off and I'm know you'll enjoy yourself. I'm sure the WA boys can plan a few trips while you're over here :D

Got to get the kms up on the "Old Girl" somehow :p

Come to WA for the first round Dane.
You could drop in at my place on the way, help us prep the car, and follow us over.
Sorted.
