I got my car yesterday,and have been out and about putting it through it's paces. Very nice, and it happens to be the first manual car I've owned. Guess I'm a lazy bugger.
It's pretty stock at the minute, besides a sports exhaust and a couple of other bits and pieces.
Some pics finally.

Not sure whether to lower or not, will wait and see. Manuals great.
Yes, that is cruise control and I thought that the cruise control was standard in the BJ II J-48, but not sure as I don't have an owners manual?
Other members will probably chime in.

The cruise control was an option that was around $500 and wasn't a terribly good system, the control stalk was not very well attached and was prone to breaking off.
I looked at getting it when my car was about 2 years old and I was told not to fit it by the dealer as it was known to cause a lot of issues.
