you know you own an sj when...

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

-when the locks freeze so you have to climb in through the roof on a cold morning, (this morning)

-when your being overtaken by lorries on the motorway

-when you climb up a hill that a freelander fails to climb:)

When you carb decides that even after being used for 20 minutes you still need choke, at a standstill, at 2500 rpm with everyone looking at you like you are an idiot

When you have to drive with the window open to stop it from steaming up as the fan is pretty usless

You know you own an SJ when your air conditioning is removing the bungs from the floor.

You know you own an SJ when you need to remove said bungs to let out the pond in your footwells after heavy rain :lol:
