Default Nc? Crewman Ute!!! Geelong

i know this thread is useless without pics but today i saw what looked like a NC (or soemthing like MADNC8's car) fronted crewman style ute, it almost looked like a chopped limo, twin cab with a huge tray, spotted it in geelong, i took a couple of ordinary pics on my mobile but have no idea how to put them on here
did anyone else see it??

Yeah, that one I had seen around Frankston on a weekly basis. I knew their house, but haven't seen it for awhile.

IIRC the only reason you are required to have a limo licence is for the work, not for the size of the vehicle...


much like how you're required a taxi licence

After the FPV Day we started heading back to the Avalon airport, but decided to visit Geelong as it was a bit early for our flight. Saw this crazy looking thing so we did a U-turn just to take a better look lol !

I'm guessing I saw the same thing that you have seen

I saw it there after the FPV day so less then a month ago. Looks like it was a wagon on a limo chassis and they added a ute body to the back. Meh, who knows, I wouldn't own it if you paid me but sure is interesting.
