well .... since you asked ....
Yes, I bought the car in 2001 from its original owner when I was living in California. I drove it pretty much every day till I returned to Oz in 2004. since then, its been in storage in the "shed".
In march I took it over to SR and got it back last week, having paid for Steve's kids' education during the few months it was there. Seriously, I was very happy to leave it to Steve and Pete to sort out. We ended up putting a new crate zz383 425hp 450 ftlb engine in her and I've kept the original engine for a later rebuild. Steve also went through the brakes, cleaned up some of the electricals, etc. I've been taking it to and from work this week (fuel consumption is crap!!) but sunday will be its first time out on the open road so I'm looking forward to it!
