fyfie5 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Hi guys, so after selling my 300zx and a brief spell with a lovely gold Volvo s40 1.8 I sold that as well and thought about getting a winter car, why not one with a v8? so here my 2000 grand Cherokee that I got for a steal! it needed a new engine sump which ive done and replaced oil and filter, and a new radiator which ive also done now she's running sweet, also came with roof bars so ive fitted my bike rack to it. its the comfiest car ive ever driven, it is my only car right now and its automatic but luckily my job allows me to drive manual cars everyday so I don't lose my touch haha in the spring this will get stored away for summer and ill be getting something else. (probably something that goes around corners faster than this) and yes its very thirsty before you ask lol let me know what you guys think!

fyfie5 Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 I recently got the exhaust shop to remove the only silencer the car had (it was huge, about 3ft long) and now it sounds amazing! still has 2 pre cats in the down pipes and a main cat after but has a proper v8 growl now, how can I get a video up on here again?
