Can't tell you. If I did and she found out and she will, my life will be over.
What will happen next is I will be resuscitated so my life can be over again......
Re. the original post, 130K is a big number for that and noticed no road worthy. Is that because it wont pass without engineering as it is has to in NSW.

Where do I start? lol.
I've actually kept most receipts from original purchase. I paid 26k and it had 180k on the clock. The near future service is for 330k.
I've been a desk jock all my life and just pay to have things done, but actually wash and vacuum it all by myself. lol
The spray on mud is quite difficult to remove. lol.
