Ive seen a couple FTO's around mate, I live in Alb-Wodonga, haven't taken note of the plates. Whats up? If its something like its stolen I'll definately keep my eye out becuase I do a lot of cruising around and see a large margin of the cars around here.

Ask the guy if hes recently had some repairs or similar.

I have a mate who works at a car dealership, they recently had a silver FTO come through. Wasn't in good nick.

this one has 2 busted rims and the front shocks need replacing, sounds to me like its been smacked into a gutter or something.
