Hey Mate,

Good luck with the new rig. Just thought I would let you know that I was the last owner before Matt picked it up from me. Or until I dropped it off at his house.

Will be interesting to see what you do with it.

Cheers

Trailers are loud when they drop trucks off.....I'm sure your neighbors hate you today.

I think the bigger issue was the idiot driving it around the neighborhood.
