Mike...if you do sell it... one day, not tomorrow, not next month, maybe not next year, you'll see someone else driving it and it'll break your heart.
If it ticks over...leave it

I wouldn't sell it, I'd break it for parts.

What this chap offered me was a lot, but not nearly enough.

Anyway I better not talk about it or il end up doing it !!

Right, I'm going to fix my samurai and use it on Boxing Day.

Then I'm going to take it apart in preparation for next years events.

Then next year buy a kja, restore it and then maybe think about putting all the stuff from mine onto it and building a mad kja challenge truck.

That's what I'm thinking anyway :)

good to see you going again! hope you have a blast, and don't break too much stuff!
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Who needs an exhaust anyway? Just borrow an aqualung so you can breathe, and keep calm/carry on.
