A decision that in hindsight was catastrophic....rumour has it GP didn't speak too nicely to that decision maker at a funeral when back in OZ.
Another factor, if you wanted Terry AWD after SYII it was diesel only, imagine petrol, petrol turbo and diesel in rwd or awd...and a FTA that was fair....probably still have a factory building vehicles in Campbellfield.
