Feedback
I put three Facebook posts up on vehicles we had seen and I've had over 40,000 people reached
• An MG with an unusual fastback and very rare wheels

• a Chrysler crossfire from the first decade of this century that Jeremy Clarkson said look like a dog pooing

• and work of art in the new building of the NSW art gallery. Homage to the Bugatti 35. It elicited a number of comments including one arty farty, full of art buzz words



Road test
GWM Ora

Interview
