Talking Hi James

Hello James,

You are very welcome to the network.

One of the members in the UK has a 4ws model also, real nice car.

A few pics in your locker would be good alright.

With a name like Hughes, you must have at least some Irish blood in you so that's a good start.

{OK, OK, I know I am biased }

Welcome mate, and like green96 says, give us more info.

Exclamation Photos

take some shots externally from the rear with whees turned on lock so we can see the 4WS !! and also a shot of dash lit up with all your warning lights happening I think you'll have extra goodies indicating 4WS ...and do you have any buttons around your auto shift ..our models only have the Manual button on the shifter itself..then perhaps later up on a hoist a pic looking into rear wheel wells would be of interest to the technical folk as well as folk like me who would just look at the pic and say like Ricthie Benaud ...simply marvellous !!...anyway pics at your earliest convenience...AND how did this car get into Oz anyway... a special import...its nearly as good as having the rare 'yellow' SVX ..one only in Oz

Look forward to hearing and seeing more

James,

Welcome. That now brings the total (that I know of) in Canberra to 7. 3 Silver, 2 Charcoal/Black, 1 Bugundy, and my son spotted a Pearl White one (with recent plates) yesterday out in Gungahlin. I'm currently o/s and won't be back for a couple of months but when I get back it looks like we definitly have the numbers for a dedicated Spring-time event in Canberra. What do you think?

Reece
