I bought the J20 from a lady jeep friend , in the last few months we've become best friends
She's divorced , 40yrs old with 5 kids and a real fireball (hand full) and on occassion gets into fist fights with guys and does pretty well for a small gal ( most indo guys are only 5 ft tall also)
She still has 2 J20s , 2 J10s , 2 M715s , 3 Wagoneers (the red one in the photo has a Toyota Landcruiser 4.2 litre VX turbo diesel in it) , a Willys , EJ Holden ute , '68 Mercedes plus another 10 or so 'normal' cars that she crashes regularly (minor usually except when she side flopped her Suzuki Carry a few months back when I doped her fuel with Xylene and she got carried away)
Think of a 5 foot tall gun toting mini version of Lara Croft (character not looks) and u get the picture (she sells antiques , paintings and has the largest collection of Javanese traditional knives I have ever seen , over 500 of them)
She looks ridiculous in a J20
She smashed her Red J20 on the tollway the other day racing a truck , she hit the brakes at about 120/130kmh when someone pulled in front of her and the truck pushed the rear tray about half a metre shorter
I avoid being a passenger if I can , I hate spending most of the time on the wrong side of the road playing chicken with oncoming traffic , I guess thats why she likes big trucks ???
You meet some real characters here , a bit like the Northern Territory except I reckon they put something in the water that makes em a bit more crazy
They say u can judge a person by the company the keep and on that basis I would guess after 7 1/2 years here I am definitely going Troppo :-/ ... but definitely not bored which happens to me after a month back home in Sydney
