Hi there - got my dream Jeep!! by jedimasterseth on Thu Jan 01, 2009 6:11 pm
Hi everyone! My name's Dilip and I've just got myself a new Frontera:

1998 S-reg Vauxhall Frontera Transglobe - 3 door - 2.0 Petrol - Bronze

Dilip's Vauxhall Frontera.JPG


I'm very pleased!! I've always wanted a jeep, and have had my eye out for a Frontera (I think they are brilliant) for a long time now!

I got it for a bargain at £620! In excellent condition mechanically! Some of the dashboard / switch lights don't work though, so I may need some help from u guys in fixing them!

Cheers,

Dilip, Kingsbury, Greater London
