After much planning the day of the event finally arrived. The last event was held a few years ago so it was definitely time to try again, so it was off to 4x4withoutaclub at Aldermaston.  

​Sixty three Jimnys  were booked in making it possibly the largest Jimny gathering in Europe and even challenging the rest of the world. They came from all over the country with many staying ovenight at local hotels. Even the hotel car-park became its own mini-meet.

So after a couple of "Jeep" postings its back to Jimnys. Since the launch of the new Jimny we have been looking out for one, at first a bit tentatively and more recently for real. Shortly after the launch last December we got to test drive one for an extended period and really loved it. I did a review at the time, see the video below.

Bob has sent me in some pictures of his "Jeep". He has built an aluminium body onto his Jimny chassis giving him a lightweight Jeep. He is also looking to make this into a kit, so those with a rusty body can go "old school".
