When you see him, ask if the suburb was greensborough. I think this car was alin/alin?? not sure of the user name, but the car i'm thinking of wore those number plates.

Cheers

Gee, that car was at the big AU bbq day held a few years ago. The bloke who owned it back then was a nice chap too.

Very nice example of the AU series IMO.

We really need to organise another of those days. Just need to ensure that it's in the summer months. That one you mention was the first and so far the only!

I agree on all points. I remember him. He picked up some headlights from LG for me. Great to talk to. Nice looking and very well maintained AU plus a great bbq day.
