Just had to eat some humble pie
« on: 30 January 2012, 20:59:14 »
I think I may have over reacted to a post on the Jeep Forum, might have had something to do with me suggesting the Jeep is sh1t and handling the twisty bits, and the reaction of one member in particular, I should have known better given some of the 'banter' that goes on on here........ :D :D :D

Mind, they are impressed with 17000 posts seems the Jeep forum only has a total of 34000 post in total :D :D

I'm not on that forum Mike - I just nipped over to see the story. I do have a 4 wheeler but it’s not a Jeep.

I started to type this on my new laptop but bollocked it up as I can't get used to that trackpad job - new machine or not it was on the cusp of becoming a discus so I'm back on the old machine now - with a proper mouse attached. ;D ;D ;D
