Very nice '05 GV for sale

Hi all, I'm selling my GV (not the right vehicle any more since my motorbike crash - I mainly wanted it to keep me moving in snow and occasional family duties - and I'm not riding bikes any more at the moment).

Re: Another "hi" from Sunny South Wales

Thanks for the welcome, folks. I can see lots of serious rigs here, don't think mine's ever going to go quite that direction! Most of my off-roading is done with a serious rig, but in 1/10th scale - a not-very-standard, custom skinned, Axial Wraith: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/defblade/Wr...
