OK i finally get it,

I've only owned the Vit 4 a short while and up until today i wasn't over joyed with the Vitara, it's pretty slow and not the greatest to drive from A to B, but goto C & suddenly it makes complete sense- Take it off road and it comes alive :D

Today i christened the Vitara and i like what i found!

I have converted to the darkside :whothedaddy:

Intersting to read about your Vit.

My GV is bloody dire! even the most calm green lane that the farmer uses to collect milk results in grounding and i hate the bloody thing.

I had a discovery which was in a completly different league.

Perhaps i have a bum GV.

Must say though it is supurbly reliable!

Only been into off roading about 12 months now and have to say this is the most fun hobby I have ever had ,, :D
I started on farmers track roads as i work out a lot of these places and found my Grand vit has never let me down the V6 is so smooth a drive ,,,then someone told me about Korc so thats when i got my standard vit 16.8v  it was box standard when i first took it to Korc and the little thing did this ,,,,http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=441wEMYnLko
 :P
 I soon found out there are a great bunch of people into this sport ,,friendly and willing to help each other out so thats it I guess you could say im smitten ,,,my white vit has now gone from standard to a little more extreme  :lol: im sure most here will agree most part of this sports fun is the home build ,,then going out and trying new and more exciting things ,,
so where I thought the vit was going to just be a great starting project now realise just how and what great fun they are ..
