    You used the word pedantic incorrectly, on this occasion. Pedantic means,

    1.Like a pedant, overly concerned with formal rules and trivial points of learning.
    2.Being showy of one’s knowledge, often in a boring manner.
    3.Being finicky or fastidious, especially with language

    What you were using was sarcasm, angers ugly cousin lol, I was being pedantic in my need to illustrate an example ,just helping out, nice FJ ute though be it found in a barn, shed, garage or manger wouldn't you agree?

    Cheers

    Wow! They just keep showing up when you think there's none left undiscovered. What a find.

    There's plenty around, there will be for year's to come. These time capsule's are being unearthed fairly regularly.

    The best Sandmans i've ever come across were both out in the weather. Buickzz's HQ was at a wrecking yard exposed to the elements and Hainzy's sitting behind an old hay shed. Both had been stripped to donate to utes or tonners. I also found a HT GTS350 and a HG GTS350 side by side stripped of all bits that were put on utes and vans, again neglected out in the weather. Never found a good car in a barn!
