That's my mate's car. He sold it to some guy in Sydney to buy a wife.

As those on Facebook already know, i said goodbye to the soccer mum wagon late last night.
It was an awesome car over the past three years, and was a tonne of fun to drive.

The timing couldn’t have gotten any perfect. I had been stalking carsales for a type of car that i have had my eye on for quite a while now, and last night one was posted that ticked all the boxes.
I saw it tonight, and fell in love. It was such a perfect example of the perfect car. One owner since new, serviced annually, kept extremely tidy and definitely not thrashed. Not to mention it only has 20,000km’s on the clock. I couldn’t even low ball the guy because it just wouldn’t have been fair.

...so, here it is....

They’re so solid, one of the primary reasons i decided to go euro over japanese. I got sick of the excessive road noise and rattles in the liberty.
