hearing alot of history, not hearing many reasons.
is it wheeing abiity?
is it a need to belong to a community? (scocially this is a important.... ia have learnt this.)

off road?......why chose a jeep over any other brand?
looks?.......what drew you to a jeep?

[H.G.]

dad owned a CJ7 renegade many years ago
he hated it
said it was the worst investment he ever made
even claimed his lemon monaro was a better vehicle.
Ever since then Ive wanted a JEEP
the opportunity arose.. it was either the XR6 turbo ute or XR8 ute.
then I thought.. I could go more places and have more fun in the JEEP
didnt realise it would cost me an arm and a leg as well haha.

VW's Had a Kombi that I stuck a 4.4lt V8 in and took up to stockton, it ran 31's on the rear and 215/75/15's on the front and was also lifted Also had numerous Beetles, a Ford Escort race car and a few other things as well. This is the first time I've had less than 4 cars

It was the lifestyle for me, the Kombi took me almost everywhere, mostly just on the back wheels but 4WD would be better, Jeep was cheap and not a toyota
