I saw it running inbound on St Georges Road this evening just before 8pm. I
chased after it and got a picture in Brunswick St while it was stuck in
traffic, unfortunately I only had a camera phone on me, hence the low
quality photo, but still better than nothing. It looks fantastic and I
can't wait for a ride on it!
