I wonder was that jeep owned by the Quinn Group?

I can only imagine what service history it has if it looks like that on the outside.

Ye, I was actually looking at that last night on DD.

38,000 miles, but it's probably still on it's factory fitted oil and filters!

I notice it only has a UK style disc holder.

It looks like a farm workhorse and bought solely for that purpose, driving between fields, hauling trailers, sheep, equipment, haybales.. anything and everything over short distances..

Not only is the body in bits, but I imagine the engine, clutch, cab interior, suspension and everything else is in bits too..

I was thinking the exact same thing. I've seen some neglected yokes but this is by far the worst!

It's not a jeep.

Gophur

It is an import and it's worthless.

Ye, it's actually a pile of scrap on 4 wheels.

But we try not to be too pedantic around here.

It is, actually, a jeep (term to denote General Purpose Vehicle).

It is not, however, a Jeep (An America all purpose vehicle)

Fit some new lights.... To get it legal. Then some massive off road tyres, rollcage, snorkle, massive spots, winch.... And go have some epic fun and then just for the craic go do shopping in your local and park in the Electric vehicle spaces :cool:

I think it is an Irish thing to refer to something by the trade name of the leading brand. For example, calling a vacuum cleaner a Hoover, or calling a pen a Biro.

I also think it is wrong, and will correct people when they do it.
The vehicle under discussion is more commonly known as a 'pick up', but it is not a jeep.

Looks like it might have gotten carried away in a flood at some point. Bounced off anything and everything...

Might also explain the superb moss type paintwork additions.

Don't you mean Jeep ?;)

If its been worked hard and given good service to its owners but ended up like that as a consequence, then its lived a good life, much better than if used for a city commute racking up 4 times the mileage in the same time.

Ye, I see your point, but normally you should at least try and get a few years and a couple of 100,000 miles out of it before you 'farm' it.

Not only is it not a Jeep, it's not even a jeep. It's a pick up truck!

Kanes of Granard plate surrounds too...

Looks like its been at the bottom of a swamp for the last 6 years.

Harcrid

It looks like the Top Gear Hilux after they tried to destroy it.

Actually it would have probably been better off at the bottom of a bog, they're still pulling WW2 tanks out of bogs in better condition than it.:D
