unexpected surprise

 
so what can you stumble uppon in the tall grass when offroading? Yes ...these are wild boars...fortunatelly they were more scarred than we were...and therefore ran away...otherwise it could have been 'interesting' ;

vacation ...

 
and some more mud and water ;)

My vacation

 
Some of you might be wondering what did I do on my vacation ...well it rained for a few days, therefore instead of going to the beach we found ourselves a better pastime ... M U D ! ! ! ;)

x-mas time!

 
 
 
 
Look at all the 'gifts' I have received.
I just returned from my 10 day holiday at the sea just to see two of the few packages arrive, which I have won on Ebay. One of them is a set of Pacer fender flare extensions I managed to buy for 1/4 of the price for which they sell here...and that's including shipping ... and what's even better, these are the heavy duty 3 inch type with wire reinforcements ;) although I have a dillema now as how to install them...or to be more exact - should I have them come all the way down in the front onto the plastic bumper, or should I end them where the metal fender ends and meets the bumper? I guess I'll have to dig through my 4x4 / offroad magazines and see how other's do it.
The other one is a hood bra - this little gadget simply is nowhere to be found in Poland, whilst with our roads and all the gravel etc. shooting at you from the cars in front, this should come on the car as standard - I asked once at the dealership about it and it was only available on 'special order' i.e. as you can imagine the price was also very 'special'.
I got it on ebay from Eric here: http://myworld.ebay.com/erockjeep, he unfortunatelly does not take paypal whilst bidpay for some reason refused both my credit cards, fortunatelly we were able to complete the transaction via Western Union. Of course Western Union clerk asked three times if I'm sure that I want to transfer money to some unknown individual, that it might be unsafe etc. I took the risk and it was definatelly worth it - as a matter of fact Eric shipped the package so quickly and the paperwork was done so perfectly, that the package made it here quicker than I get most packages from other cities in Poland!
