I'm getting pretty damn close to the 300,000km club, which is a little depressing really...!

Anyone got a low km ED V8 Ghia they don't need?

ahh ok, for some reason I thought it was a numbers-matching/untouched XD... I don't know where I get these theories from. There probably isn't a single XD which fits those criteria these days eh :P

Good luck with the buildup of your car by the way ;)

Wow. It's gone backwards to 21,700kms! I wish mine would do that.
