Lucy's Braggin' Rights; including the claim she is the most well travelled and the most paparazzied Cadillac in Australia.

Under the section 'Photo Gallery - Australia's Big Things' you saw photographs of all the 125+ Big Things Lucy has been photographed with. For the more academically minded of you, I've included the written list here.

At the end of the list is another, this being the record of how many times my poor old, beat up, rusty, chipped and dented Caddy has appeared in mainstream magazines or newspapers (boy are you in for a surprise!).
