After picking up the LJ50 on a car trailer I stopped at the nearest servo to put some air in the bar treads as they were flat and I didn't like the idea of having to push it up my driveway as the motor was not going with flat tyres.
I parked and proceeded to pump the tyres and within 30 secs a guy came from nowhere and started to chat with me about the LJ50 wanting to know all about it, what it went like and what I was going to do with it. 2 mins later another guy came from nowhere and joined in on the conversation. After about 10 mins of discussion the final question was how long have you had it. I replied about 10 mins. :lol: They both laughed and one said we better leave you enjoy your new toy. I thought I had better make a run for it or I'll make it home. I was warned by the previous owner about how many looks and comments I will receive while driving the LJ50, but I didn't expect it so soon.

36 and still smoking..........not me, the LJ!
Yup, I think we've all been there. I actually had a guy flip a u-turn and almost cause an accident near where I live. Didn't know what he was doing until I pulled into a parking lot and he followed me. Think his wife was a bit pissed off at him too!
I don't think I've ever had it out without someone asking about it, or wanting to buy it, so get used to it!

The only difference between an ordeal and an adventure is your attitude
