so much fun!

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!

i like it because of the thought that people must watch traffic as they walk or drive and notice how every car is pretty much the same on these roads and its pretty boring, and then they see a pink anus steaming past

Well, it was poking fun a bit at how SJs are bouncy, noisy and lean over in corners. :lol:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

I just love it! Especially on days like yesterday when everywhere was flooded and you see all the 'normal' cars turning around whilst I just cruise on through.

Not to mention when you are sat up in a car park and all the kids start going 'wow dad what's that, I want one!' :lol: or the random people who ask 'what is it?' and just all the general stares :lol:

Folks ask me about my SJ quite a bit. There's one chap on the Humber bridge toll booths who I've had several brief conversations with. He's after one to share with his girlfriend as a winter car apparently.

One of my best moments in the SJ was when an old cnap in his 70s on holiday stopped me as i was getting in. He said "Thats changed alot since I sold it as a new car" He knew the reg, said he could remember about 95% of those he sold, and then told me it looked really good and liked what id done with it :D .

You could say he was old and said that to every SJ owner he saw, but he knew it was originally blue and he came from the same part of kent it was originally sold in.

Made both him and me smile

Jimny 1.6 not as good as an SJ but still good

It's the way it makes me smile every time, wether its the bad road manners that it more than makes up for offroad.
