    A good end for a Jeep

    See http://video.google.com/videoplay'docid=7270258632860038644&q=jeep - 4 minute video of a XJ Jeep being destroyed. It looks good to start. I wonder if it was stolen?

    This jeep had failed its MOT and it was not economically viable to repair (completely rusted underneath) also
    none of us wanted the hasle of breaking it . Rather than just take it straight to the breakers we decided to
    have some fun with it first and see what it could do if realy pushed , all the driving you see in the video was on
    private land , after the destruction , the jeep and crap that fell off were low loaded to a local scrap metal merchant
    and it weighed in at just under 3 tons , for which we received £110 . Also we made sure that the kids you see in
    the vid were stood out the way on what ever run we were going to try . It would have kept on going had the
    transmission pipe not split , a super damm tough XJ

Another bloke was leaning in the driver's side, talking to hubby - but not looking at him, if you get my drift....

    When they drove off he said "Wow, did you see that?"

    My friend, on my side, replied "Yeah, 60lbs oil pressure on tickover, wow!"
