I'm sure you've all seen the ad on TV and the car is even more impressive 'in the flesh'.  5.5m long, 2.2m wide and weighing in at 2.2 tonnes.  Come and see her and have your picture taken behind the steering wheel.  Our address is 52 Porowini Ave, right next door to Mitre 10.  Evie will be here until Monday.  Hope to see you all. Kind regards, Jude.
