You driving a Jeep Cherokee? hehe


:lol: ... a 4.7 litre V8

and sitting in the garage with a blown engine...i had it modified with a computer chip from the US and I suppose one too many kickdowns...I will start work on it during the holidays with a brand new short block and remachining the heads...estimated finish time 6 weeks...

in the mean time I bought a 96 jeep to keep me mobile...

Man I love Jeeps.
To me no matter how old or battered a Jeep is, they still command a certain air of dignity and respect.
Too bad I can't afford an original.

about 420 Km per full tank, used to work it out as 1 cycprus pound every 20 km.

It's a 2.8 chev monster pickup reliable as F**K

Goes everywhere never said No.

I bought it some 6 years ago with 36,000 km today it has about 227,000 as I said very reliable
