I drive down this road near me on most days. But I only noticed this car recently.
The house is a bit strange. It seems fairly new , but for some reason it has been abandoned and the weeds are growing up the walls.
Its in the jindalee area incase you are wondering..

Poor little guy.... :cry: Image

Yea. Im thinking about it.
I think its a clubby. But its hard to tell as I can only see the flappy door handles, so it could be a 'K' I guess ..

Drive past that Sigma every day to and from work. It's almost invisible now. I remember it when it was fully exposed.
