A car detailing business in Phillip? Well at least it wasn’t that other business in Phillip which has a notorious reputation for laundering stolen goods and providing pay day loans for drug addicts to buy their next fix.

One bottle worth around 4K ? Well at least it will show those toffy nosed north siders that southsiders know their wine/spirits as well. hey.

Just regretably its alleged , alleged , to be a bit shonky.
