Default Just had a play with a Jeep .. and **** me

How quick or those things ..

I'm only running 300 in a classic, but as yet this is the first thing to nearly keep up with me .. very, very impressed ..

A 2.4 diesel in low ratio is quite funny in traffic...

But "The Landlady" would disagree.

P.S. 2.5 X bigger motor, plus 2.5 tonnes...

Must have been an SRT i would think. I had a grand cherokee 4.0 limited and there is no way it would keep up with a non tubo scoob, let alone a wrx

I love it when a 4x4 or a pickup tries to keep up with me.
To see him nearly fall over on every corner makes my day. Totally pointless vehicles for everyday driving.

I had a 4L Cherokee for a year and was forced to sleep in the car on the petrol station forecourt! Nice cars to drive though and very comfortable lol
