Glad you liked the wee Jimny. I bought a new Jimny LCV in september to replace my 20 yr old Defender TD5. I bloody love the vehicle as it is perfect for the roads in Argyll. Have removed the cage, which allows the seats to go farther back and recline greatly increasing comfort.

I had an SJ410 and 413 in yester years and they were great fun. One of my mates down here has just got one and pimped it up with big wheels, etc. He loves it!

Great review and Happy Anniversary guys! Love the Jimny! I wish they sold them in the USA. I just bought a Jeep Gladiator, and loving that.
