the jap spec SJ/Samurai is so much better than our UK models, they even do automatics and they just look smarter...

They always get the better modals in Japan. Have you seen the 600cc turbo SJ they have over there?

This is also a good import site http://www.japaneseusedcars.com/auction ... w_cost.htm you can see in some of the pictures they have car lots full of rust free sj's and even some lj's. Shame its so expensive to import them.

They look like Wrangler arches. I remember mentioning that for something ages ago. They look right at home.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
