Hopefully not,but we will see.

I'd have liked a Jimny for a while but the insurance policy
Could only be swapped to another classic car over 20years old or any landy over 15.

Oddly ive only used a breakdown truck 2 times and both were the tin top.

Odd really when my driven car history is some of the following.

3 80s/90s skodas
An 80s ford sierra
Rover 800 with K series engine
Discovery
An 80s vauxhall.

What can i say. I like shite, run of the mill "cool" cars dont do much for me. Ive always liked underdogs.

When people think cool cars in films they think
the bandit car, the general lee, fast and furious.

I think uncle buck. :lol:

Now sporting a 1.3 again, it was what i had to hand so in it goes.
had a poke and prod and its crustier than i thought but not as bad compared to the turq zook was, ill do the key bits but some of rust will be left for now as it wont be going back on the road anytime soon, going to make some clearance for some 235 75 15s and some recovery points ready to use for some trials events this year.

Next key things are trailer test and trailer,
