Default Charchon XJ Cherokee from Greece

Hello from Greece,

I am a happy owner of a 2000 mod, 2.5 XJ Cherokee.
The car has 300k klms, and runs like new!
I believe it is time to start moving from stock to ''daily pleasure car''. Up to now the car has no modifications, but with your help I hope I can make it a better car!

Thank you for your kind words! Unfortunately 4,0 is forbidden here due to stupid tax rules...you must be super rich to afford it!!

I am located in Athens. Kefalonia is just a magnificent place, and In case you haven’t visited your grandfathers homeland. I strongly suggest you do it at least for once! You will not regret the long journey!
