  1. I hadn't heard that Fiat was down at the same time, but it had been mentioned that their profits hadn't been this good in 13 years..........interesting that was about the time Daimler took over that their sales started to go down.........
  2. It looks good, is thAt the same tooling used for the Daisy Duke's CJ Dixie?
  3. So did I, but mine was Black and I think the graphics were Green or Red with grey interior.
  4. I'm liking that one in white primered convertible too, was that Hirohata inspired by chance?
  5. I gotta agree, only problem is that the leather just one of those seats are covered in would like cost more than my Jeep is worth
  6. I keep reading that Peter, especially from those who've actually owned these and have driven both as well as independant reviewers who don't seem to necessarily rely on other automaker sponsorship.....errrrr.....advertising. Even then, those reviewers seem to be impressed with the improvement in the 200 vs. the Sebring, one even found the mileage wasn't far off the Korean turbo twins that run the smaller, lower hp turbo 4's!
  7. You've never driven a 89-91 Cherokee with the Bendix 4 Wheel ABS O_o
  8. For the most part, drive my Jeep Once I replace that radiator.............
  9. Took a few night pics of the 200 tonight, I've got nearly 600 miles on it so far and have only had it two and a half weeks I still have some work to do when it comes to shooting night pics with my Cannon Powershot SX120 IS, the pictures that are the clearer ones were taken with my Galaxy S2 smartphone
  10. Sounds like typical Jeep brakes, they just slow you down, not necessarily stop you.....especially with their early ABS system That said, the brass 3 row radiator in mine decided to spring a leak and the shop I bought it at can't get them any more........guess it'll be going back to a stock aluminum and plastic replacement...........good thing those are only $120 I guess..........
  11. Must be a whole lot better climate the the ones we live in Rob! The climate here can be all over the place througout the year, must just be the heat out your way.
  12. The one in mine is #3 since I bought it in '03, the one that was in it when I bought it looked to be factory and was replaced in '04 when I decided it was old enough that it might not last the winter and my last battery was in the same shape when I bought the newest one.
  13. Think I'd rather have a SRT-8 Grand Cherokee, or at least put a stroked I-6 with a Cummins sourced Holeset turbo in my XJ
  14. I've had to do the front pads on my 14 year old XJ a few times over the last 8.6 years, the rotors were replaced twice (under recall at 66,600, then again north of 140k) but with it nearing 157k.....it's probably about time to replace the factory installed rear brakes..... Luckily I bought the parts to replace all but the parking brake cable (which we should probably do to...) and backing plates a few years back. Now that I have my 200, we can take the Jeep off the road for however long it takes instead of trying to hammer through it as quick as possible so I have it to drive to work the next day.
  15. I'm surprised that a model company didn't already make the Torchwood Range Rovet. How popular was that show overseas?
  16. That was weird, wonder why it double posted like that.
  17. Yea, I was thinking '70.5 Camaro in the nose and '68-'69 AMX from the cowl back. Yea, I was thinking '70.5 Camaro in the nose and '68-'69 AMX from the cowl back.
  18. As did the original Barnibus from the Dark Shadows TV series.
  19. That's pretty wild, and slightly Chevy looking........
  20. I'm guessing "home made" o_O
  21. Heck, my sister ran into a classmate last week who is in the process of buying a house in Wheaton for less than I'm paying for my 200!
  22. I actually used one of those computers my freshman year in highschool Andy, two years later the school had bought the early modern Windows computers..........
  23. $7,000.00 for a diecast!? I couldn't make enough to buy that from selling my Jeep!
