I see what you did there. Haha
I actually learnt to Drive in a Jeep but it was the famous Willey's JeepAttachment 56251
I was only about six and had to stand up to Drive it.
I drove whilst Dad fed the Sheep from a Trailer.
Great little vehicle.
FYI in the States these are worth $1.50 US but you need to buy them 300 at a time, lol
They have literally millions of them,
Originally called G.P. GP later being jeep. for general entry level all purpose Vehicle or something like that.
Ford and Willeys battled out for the contract both looked very similar. Willeys/jeep won
making the 7 bar grill their trade mark. The rest is history. Ford used a 9 bar grill
Next time youre next to a jeep wrangle you'll notice the driver is sitting on the rear diff

both landrover and the Willeys jeep have crossed Australia... how many other vehicles, let alone vehicles of that vintage and no mods can claim that...
