Hello again everybody, ive done something rather silly...

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Hello again everybody, ive done something rather silly...

Post by suzukisteve » Tue Aug 19, 2014 9:22 pm

Well I asked the missus to marry me last week (pause for abuse) and she said yes! So this time next year, yours truly will be married :brows:

But in suzuki related news, im currently being tempted by a vit my mate is getting shot of. Doesn't need much to get it on the road. Just a wheel bearing and a wee bit of welding. However is vit or the sj, not both.

I know I should probably just get it for the engine etc but im really not sure, feeling kinda lost on the suzuki front at the moment and im need of inspiration!

Hope everyone is cool, not been on in a while

Why not just use on as a toy and tow it with the other. Then only 1mot and tax etc to pay but you can do some extreme mods that might not be road legal for more fun :)

I've been a bit quiet on the Zook but just getting back on with it now.

Keep the SJ. So much more character.[size=100][/size]

SJ!

Congrats on the marriage, what works for me is being away at least a week at a time and spending no more than 2 consecutive days at home.

Shit advice but the best I've got, lol.

Maybe I just need to step back and make a plan with the sj. Is there much difference between the 1l and the 1.3l power wise?

Brilliant, good on you, I hope you've spent all the money you need to on your zook, because when you get married you suddenly realise that you have non for hobbies! Although you always seem to have enough for things like cushions, lamps and duvet sets :S

robbie the guy who is selling is my mate who lives round the corner from you. would be a nice little purchase, plus you'd come back from the dark side :doublethumbs:

so in everyones opinion would a 1.3 be the way to go?
