Spotted TWO06L in the current HPI magazine on page 66. Darker colour though now as to when it was front cover of same mag a while back.

Fridays weather forecast = RAIN - Noooooooooo!!!!!! I dont know what to do, no point in polishing the car only to have to drive from Newcastle straight after in the Rain. Might have to just wash it here, drive down in the rain and polish it at the venue??? Cant wash it in Sydney unless there is a car wash cafe very close?? I hope the forecast changes by Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
