Whizzing through the narrow streets of Weston super Mare and slotting into small parking spaces.
Strolling through the narrow country lanes of Somerset, no matter how wet or muddy they are. Squeezing past whatever we meet coming the other way (on one occasion an articulated HGV in the middle of a bend. That was a close shave!).
Sipping petrol (40 mpg average).

Absorb money like a huge sponge....... Every time I think I have just about got there with the modifications, I find something else that I want to do.

Next years plans include fitting the front cage which will include the body coming off again for the chassis and running gear to be stripped and painted. A "built" engine with custom induction and a standalone ECU fully mapped on a rolling road.

The car stands me to at least 3 x what I paid for it and that will be close to 5 x by the end of 2021....

I get in, it starts, goes from A to B as the family car, day in, day out.
It asks for nothing in return other than a cheap service once a year.
It is the essence of reliable, uncomplicated cheap motoring.

Obviously this may differ if you stray from how Suzuki intended ^^^^ :laugh:

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)
