****UPDATE****
Thought I'd get the car Airbrushed with Lord of The Rings graphics which is something i planed to do for a while. The Artist is Wayne Harrison from Advanced Airbrush in Sydney. His work is exceptional with brilliant detail. He has painted for Richard Branson & even Snoop Dogg. At the first show since the airbrushing was complete it picked up best airbrushed graphics which is testimony to Wayne's ability. See pics just added.

MORE NEWS!!!!
Recently I was asked to have my car used in a movie. A friend (Ozzie) gave my details when a film company asked where they could find a car like mine so they gave me a call. I could not believe it was a sequel to a big martial arts film (Ong Bak starring Muay Thai fighter Tony Jaa). The sequel is called "Tom Yum Goong" or in the USA "The Protector" and is filmed mostly in Australia (and Thailand). It was 4 days on set and is 1 of the main characters car. The movie is to be released in August in Thailand but it will be a while down here cause we are only just getting the first movie.
Since then I also had my car in 2 episodes of 'Fat Pizza' (local Aussie comedy) the episode went to air in April '05.
See page 7 for pics on set.
