Post by: skip on August 16, 2007, 19:25:41: Simon. Did you get fed up with the Jeepclub or the jeep?

cheers

Pete.

Post by: BigSi on August 16, 2007, 21:42:19: Hi Pete.

Certainly didnâ€™t get fed up with the Jeep, just that I seemed to be the only one down here (not much fun playing by your self!!). Didnâ€™t renew my Jeep Club membership because I couldnâ€™t really see where my Â£30 was going (why pay when you can get it free here). Went back to Michelleâ€™s place a few times to play (errâ€¦â€¦.itâ€™s not what it sounds like!), but havenâ€™t seen them for a while. All my neighbours have Landroverâ€™s (freelander, lightweight), so I felt a little left out! But now we can repair them together!!!!!!

So howâ€™s life up there then?

Post by: skip on August 17, 2007, 18:12:07: Not too bad.

I sold my jeep back in may I think, it was getting a bit to rusty even for me :) I've got a v8 disco now but i've been having one problem after another with it.

It's not all bad as the parts are just rediculously cheap :D

I haven't been doin any froadin, i'm still trying to resist the temptation to do some serious mods though. 8) especially as i've found a very local site that has some proper mud! The last time I went it was so slippery that even the guys with 35" swampers were having trouble, as I recall the recoverys were being undertaken by a d90 with tractor tyres on.

Anyway, have fun with your new toy, it does look the buisiness BTW
cheers.

Pete.

Post by: BigSi on August 17, 2007, 22:18:06: So you defected too then!!!!! V8, the way to go! I had a discovery V8 a while back, a great machine. Unfortunately I had to use it for work, and when your putting in Â£70 worth of fuel a week, the novelty soon wears off! Thatâ€™s what persuaded me too was the cheep price of parts. Jeep prices where just getting ridiculous, especially for any aftermarket gear.
