Default Car Show - story on AU

There was a story on todays Car Show on Channel 9. They gave the car a good rap mentioning it has mechanicals that will last along time.

The guy who did he story "Joe Kenwright" knows his . He is quite qualified and knowledgeable about cars. If Joe says it’s a good car, it's good.
