Thanks for the nice comments, re the V8 one over the road it was/is for sale, I found it on our version of ebay - trademe, and was surprised to find it was located right next to me!
Higher km's, bit rough, so didn't go ahead. Always strange when you start looking for something - you see a lot more of them.

BTW I read a few posts re people trying to find towhooks, v common in NZ - nearly every SUV has one. Very easy to obtain here..

Cheers
