bek kept breakn the door handles on the wagon (and she was scared of the vh. . . . .dont know why. . )
and one day she'd had enough of old cars and wanted a new one.
we search every caryard and paper we could until she spied the bow of a softtop wrangler.
so we got one,
had it 8 weeks now and ive tried t roll it and drown it and smash it into trees. . . .
so far so good. . . . .

Dear old Dad bought a Wagoneer in 1970 and we travelled a lot of Oz in it.
We were always a rabid Jeep household, so my first car was a '74 CJ6 in '83, then a '70 J3000 as a work truck. Both vehicles were off the road and had to go when we moved bush to run a cattle property, so I've been sans Jeep for the last 5 years, although still have a 4x4, just a little more sutable for work around here than the CJ or FSJ and comes from the other side of the Atlantic.

Will be moving soon and then building a new workshop so reckon a CJ or MB project may be on the cards. I love my Defender, but Series I or II Landies just don't do it for me. If I have another 4x4 it will have to be a Jeep.

As a teenager, first a Mazda GLC, then a Pontiac Firebird.....Then on to college, only with a Suzuki TC 125 bike. After landing on my head for the 4th time, Mom agreed to co-sign for a car loan. Bland 4 door Plymouth Reliant. 4 doors, 4 cyls, automatic........she reckoned I couldn't get into trouble with that...........

Passed a stuck Jeep in the snow climbing an Arizona mountain (it was a momentum thing).

Couple friends in college had Jeeps and a few other 4X4's..........

Traded the car for a Chevy truck, stuffed 33's in the rear, with 31's up front and proceeded to get stuck ONE to many times...traded for first Jeep.

'87 Wrangler. Wanted a CJ-8, but only went to one dealer, and they didn't have any.

Couple mini-vans for the ex missus, not that the kids needed the extra room, but her ass did.

Traded the '87 for a Porsche 944 (She wouldn't let me carry the baby in the Jeep, she wouldn't fit in the Porsche!)

Soon traded the 944 for a Cherokee (the first of two)
Then a Comanche truck for utility use.
Then a couple full size pickup trucks, 3 Chevy's, one Ford.

A '67 Ford Bronco half cab picked up for next to nothing. Spray paint restoration (looked good from 30 feet!) Ton's of bondo, sold for more than invested.

2000 Wrangler, to speed up the divorce process.........(leave a marriage, with exactly what went in with!)

2004 owned by fiancee, but it was my bad influence that made her buy it, so I claim it as mine.

Drooling over the new Unlimited 4 door, she wants a Compass, but want to look hard at the Grand Cherokee and the Commander for next car.
