Absolutely nothing to do with Suzuki
I know it's a little on the random side, but I figured I'd vomit this stuff up anyway and see what people thought.
I was daydreaming a bit earlier, and an idea came to me. We've all seen the stereotypical Hot Rod. An old Ford, stripped out with a chevy V8 and a rear axel from an articulated truck.
What I thought was: How about a british equivalent?
Something like a Rover p5b coupé, with a JE engineering modified version of a Rover V8 through a Landrover gearbox and rear axel, with no transfer box. I'm thinking side-exit, straight-through exhausts and K&N's in the holes where the fog lights are.
I know it's childish, and has naught to do with Suzuki and not much with 4x4s, but I figured why not throw it out there, and see what you guys thought anyway. Something for me to aim for in my mid-life crisis in 30 years time.

There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Re: Absolutely nothing to do with Suzuki
One of my friends bought a hot rod at the end of last year, he had it shipped over from the US, it's a bad ass 1930 Ford Model A I think, anyway, piccies...
And this is a photo of it towing what I believe is a home made chicken chaser, made from a Honda C90

i lost intrest init after getting my fourtrak and seeing how good the fourtrak is on and offroad i dont feel the need for a pure offroader so it is now bean cans in tesco mind after going to tagging last weekend i think it would of been good to keep just to beat up like the rest down there.
are all tagging site's like that or was that a bad example,it was a bit like 4x4 banger raceing and deffo not good to watch with kids,safety was to say the least
Re: Absolutely nothing to do with Suzuki
never driven that actual site..
but according to noah its the smallest of them all.
biniger quarry being the best (very dangorus if you get it wrong) love that one....
as for site safety i don't think they have enought marshalls for how popular it's getting.
thinking about it it's a play day with a perpous.....
