Oh yeah forgot this one, a couple had seen my car and asked me if they could use it for their wedding. There first date apparently was in a car exactly the same as mine. Got $150 from it and they only borrowed it for 2 hours. I never lend my car to anybody but a good trustworthy friend drove it for me and keeped his eye on it. He is one of two other people that have ever driven it.

Mine was featured for like 10 seconds standing still, then accelerating at full throttle at the end of the news on channel 9 in 2001(she was only 3 months old too). I did a job chauffering trash show host Jerry Springer around, and he got a little mobbed at the venue on george st. Some ******** jumped on the bonnet too (which 9 immediately offered to pay for).
Funny thing was, the only cameras there were from channel 9, who of which had him out here working on some pilots for shows like "it's a love thing" with that treasure island wench georgina.

I was driving around the other day and I'm pretty sure someone took a photo of my car!
I'm just waiting for the prints to come through the mail now.

My Pursuit doing doughnuts (from FPV course at Calder) in the FPV video ad at 2004 motorshow, with John Bowe voiceover. It was on about 5 big screens at once at the FPV stand.
God, did my kids kick about me forcing them to stand there and watch it about 20 times over!
