I saw a freshly painted 116 being towed along the Kwinana Fwy (Western Australia) today. Will the real owner please stand up? ;D

It was a dark colour of some description, and I drove past it in my 6.9.

Every chance it was motecs.... he said he was getting it painted black most likely.  And the engine was being done by Kwinana performance.   ???

Geoff?  Was that yours?

TJ 450

Maybe it was. It was getting dark, so I couldn't really make out the exact colour... but it looked pretty schmick!

Yes Mine is being repainted but i dont think it was mine unless my wife needs to tell me something ;D .And the workshop with my car as i am still working up in the Kimberly's at this point in time >:(. Making any work on my car very difficult by phone and away from home. Plus i need to be carefull with expenditure at the moment someone can add up and realised it came to 18000 so far this year :-[
