Hi all,
Firstly thanks to all the people that have got me this far with my ferret, Most of all to Matt 'toolman' for all the help with obtaining its reg.
Has anyone used, seen, driven or know of this ferret? reg no 06 CC 27, I have the service cards, and have had them kindly 'de-coded' I realize I am probably onto a non-starter here but I thought that its worth a try...
