I have 115 000KM as well, 2nd engine, but first engine since I owned it. Pulls as good as Greg's.

In fact, the engine (new at 62 000KM) is the oldest thing in the car. The tires, brakes, transmission, clutch and CAT have all been replaced since then.

For sale as well....you wann buy it?

Mike, I think I am going this year for the 3 days, camping on site. Showing up in a lowered 8, I will need to find relative level ground to setup my camp site. Down farther away, I can't make it without scrapping everywhere!

Give me your email so I we can correspond privately.
