very nice. What year was it? The latest model is the nicest looking IMO. The GTP is the way forward.

Fil, I know a bit as I have looked into this also. I brought my cossie into oz so have a reasonable idea of what goes on at both ends. Typhoon is the ultimate but I believe it was withdrawn from showrooms and has just be re-released.

I can try and assist in brochures, pricing, recommendations about it if you want? Just PM me or add me to MSN as I am on there a fair bit.

Yep that was the addy Fil.

Falcon Ute is most likely the one Ginge.

My shipping was 1200 pounds including insurance for the cossie which was 100 quid roughly.
