Perhaps we can start a spotted subthread here for the ACT only.
I'll start I guess;
White FTO (not sure of specific model - was badgeless) on main street of Hume.
Oh and cheers to the silver FTO owner who gave me wave back after my thumbs up on Wednesday near the Airport.

Silver GPX
Factory rims - you'll know it's mine because I've painted in the Mitsu badges on the stock wheels.
P-Plates - sometimes they will be there but often they fall off when I'm driving.
Excluding the pod filter, she's stock as a rock.
I'm in the valley (right next to Tuggers town centre), so you'll often see me hooning around there.
However I work in Dickson so that's where it spends the majority of it's time.

Although I was parked illegally as you say, it was still not my fault. When your reversing it is a natural thing to look behind you. Just because there's not meant to be any cars there doesn't allow you to freely start reversing, and expect that there will be no one there.
I truely feel sorry for the guy, and I am waiting for the quote to see how much it's going to be, so the guy possible wouldn't have to pay his huge excess as he is young.
But sometimes I think the only way ppl can learn how to be better drivers is by paying the full shabang & loosing some of their rating, the way I learnt to be a better driver...
It doesn't matter the fact where I was parked legally or not. It is still not my fault.
