Go for suzook and not a landy, or any other 4x4 for that matter.
Im a hard core landy fan, never ever have i thought about driving any other 4x4........ untill yesterday :shock:
Now i cant stop thinking about getting me self a lil suzuki to play in, whats wrong with me? am i ill?
So please tell me why you like them, allso the pro's and con's ect.
cheers suzuki dudes :D

smaller, cheap to insure, easy 2 get parts, and nice people own them :wink:
-
Zuks (and smaller 4x4s) get through some byways etc that Landies cant, more nimble and agile through tight terrain, lighters so go through softer terrain whereas Landies and other 4x4s sink and get stuck..... :D
we enjoy the look on peoples faces and the comments when we go places, get through or go up things some of you cant..... :wink:
Go on, get a smaller 4x4, you'll never regret it! :wink:

I had a landie v8. It was great, but eventually sold it.
The zook was just an easy way to get into 4x4's again without the lumbering unreliable landie thing. To be honest, theyre great standard, but when you mod em, theyre fantastic. Just nice to make easy work of something in the 'hairdressers car'.
They dont offer much by the way of interior space tho, and are DOG slow as standard.
Id prob buy a Landie crewcab as a second car if I had the cash.
-
Main car is a Audi 90 Quattro 2.5 Turbo. Its fast, quiet, comfortable and sticks to the road like its on rails.
Since I got the Vitara two weeks ago the Audi has done about 20 miles and the Vitara, 400 odd.
Its noisy, clunky, rattles, squeeks, sounds like a tank, the heater is totally ineefective and drives like a tank, stereo dates to circo 1850 and tops out at 70.
But for some reason I cannot define its just SOOOOOO much fun :)
-
Ditto,
my zuk is just so much fun on and off road.
drives like a landy though. lol

I've got both - and they are equally good just in different circumstances.

(I've got to say this although it is chronically tounge in cheek so please don't hurt me)
They certainly are, you'd never be taken seriously going to the annual meeting of hairdressers anonymous in a defender :D

Also cheap to buy you could buy a whole bunch of zooks for the price of a landy. I needed an off road ,road legal toy ,apart from the tiny engine (sj series) they are great fun.

cheap to insure
dont think so, when I asked for a quote for my son 18 months ago, I was quoted £4352.11 for Third Party Fire and Theft..... the Landy was only £700 this year
-
The urge to get a lil jap 4x4 is getting stronger :shock:
Im even thinking of looking on eBay, and i hate eBay :x
Arrrrrrgggggggg i cant take it no more...eBay here i come.
-
You best run and hide before you end up a full blown zuk nut like the rest of us.
Its like pringles, once you start you cant stop.
-
Just been on eBlag and nowt takes me fancy.
You guy's know any suzook sites, yeah you must do :D

Thats a 'cutting' remark!!!!!!!
By the way my Suzuki Jimny is up for grabs if you are interested Stratie.

Clouseau your motor looks smart mate,but its far to tidy for me.

-

Martin i knew you would find me :lol: :lol:
Stick some suzuki stickers on it and i'll have it :wink:

Zooks are the way forward. Great fun offroad and great fun on road, when you finally get to 50 it feels like you are about to break the sound barrier!
When it finally dies you can go and buy a new one for peanuts.
I've got one for sale at the moment....
-

Stratie, why are you looking to jump the hybrid LR ship. Surely that V8 noise is just too addictive!

All the Suzooks that I have seen that run big engines use LR running gear...
Remeber the SJ running gear was only ever designed for a 1300 or smaller engine! :cry:
Otherwise, I say, fair play go have some fun! :wink:
