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.
