cheers mate, yeah I hope so too, its done 108k, 80k and not one problem eh, good to hear! - she starts everytime this thing and runs fine

my mates love it, must fit some rear seat belts tho -its a bit bouncy in the back !

..........THOSE PICTURES ANY BIGGER ?

Nice one, £500 - cheap as chips - you'll get the same money for it in 12/18/36 months when you come to sell it. Good Buy.

Here's mine at £400.

p.s Do a search on the forum for resizing pictures. Those of yours only took my work PC a fraction of a second to open but if I'd been at home it would have been quicker to jump in the car and come and take a look in person

thats bit untrue i had it up and till 80k then sold it to my mate to pull our jet
ski to herne bay each weekend .one week end we found it would not move
at all we had rusted the rear brakes to the drum but £45 pound later off we
went. sorry it got scraped in the end due to two years for hard beach work
the windscreen rusted and fell off the replacement was to high a cost to
keep it runing so my mate went out and got a new jimmy the next day
which i will say is just as good

tell you what its one of the best engine to work on and will run and run

my Jap made Nissan Terrano11. 2.7TDI. Cost a bit more than £500 but a great tow vehicle. Managed to get our club Delta off the beach at Sennan cove at low water last year.

Looks like it's a 4x4 photo shoot tonight.Lovely looking Suzuki at that price you can't go wrong.This is my second Suzuki which has been problem free,and it tows the Rib and the Chaparral with no sweat.

ollyit · 30 July 2004, 10:16

V6 suzuki, that must go some! - yeah I also like those fat mitsubishi l200 things, they look good especially those "warrior" ones : ) well out of my reach in the price dept at moment tho , give it another 5 years!

here's mine again late last night, sorry about naff photo I was knackered after 2 +2/4 hours windsurfing in hayling island after work - didnt see any ribs out?!?!
