snowtracdave Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Welcome Garry - you don't really want a jeep you know....they're very common after all - and they all landed first on the beach at exactly the same time on D Day . Follow the advice of the sage ones - get yourself a Dodge....hopefully getting mine before too much longer . :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
