Hello from the "Colonies"

Hi! My name is Ack - the
Acks' FAQ guy.
Aside from the webpage, I own a modded '88 Samurai and a stock '02 Tracker (Vitara) LWB 2.6 v-6. Bonus: My granparents emigrated from the Midlands. Of late, I have become an Anglophile of sorts and am learning all about the "common language that separates two great nations".
I hope that I can be of some small assistance here and can learn more about the Zukin' world outside of North America!

Nice one, it looks pretty sweet!!!
You've obviously put a lot of work into it... Our aftermarket parts are really expensive here :(
