We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

Ok, we know you're from Qld, and they do things different up there.
But how do you open the 1/4 windows on an XD ?

Dont see why not, these type of thing existed in Qld in XY form. Overland built them to spec so I would think its registerable in any state.

It looks interesting, but the wheelbase does't quite line up with the body - the Fairmont looks slightly longer than the Patrol does.
