Newbie saying Hi

Hi all

I thought i would post and say hi, I have just joined as I have decided it is time to get back in to off roading, i moved away from off roading for a fair few years and concentrated on faster cars. I think it is now time to get back in to it and have decided to sell my Rover Metro that is fitted with a 1.8 VVC engine and buy a Jimny.

I will be trawling trough some of the older posts over the next few weeks to get an idea of what I should be looking out for when buying and what mods to concentrate on with the Jimny.

I am located in Tonbridge Kent, it would be good to know if there are any local members.

A very warm welcome to our fine forum it’s good to have you join us ….….….….….…

welcome along!
Metro sounds like fun! bet that surprises a few folk.

Not a huge amount of members in the south east as far as I can gather but there are a few.

hi,and welcome to the forum,steve

Hello and welcome

welcome to the club im in maidstone kent also i belong to www.invicta4x4.co.uk its a nice local club with monthly pub meets (mudman on there aswell)

message me also

Thanks for the warm welcome guys,

I am not planning on any serious mods but plans always change, I am thinking initially just some good off road tires and a spring lift obviously correcting everything needed along with the spring lift. I will then take it from there with regard to bumpers winch etc. The plan is to do a bit of green laning and hopefully a few pay and play days if there are any local still open.

Goatboy, you are right the Metro is great fun, the previuos owner claimed 0-60 in 5 seconds this is not true but I tell you what it is not far off of it and has scared a few fast cars. I just feel if i keep it any longer I will end up with points on my licence, plus i never ended up using it am much is I hoped.

Glad to see there are a few local people, Mudman I will get signed up on there a little later it will be good to get out with a group doing some laning as previously I only went out with a mate or two. Mark thanks for the message i would love to take a look at your Jimny will reply in a sec.

Cheers

Dan

Hi and welcome to Big Jimny.

Thnaks guys, I will get signed up to Invicta soon, shame there are not many sites around, I did go to the one down the A21 behind the Motel near to Bedgbury quite a few years ago now however.
