Spotted!

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!

Just spotted an SJ driving around Worthing... as I caught up I saw one of our club stickers in the rear window!

Followed him back to some kind of campsite where he lives for a closer look and it looks very familiar to me!

and I don't know if anyone has watched Moonshiners, but the guy driving it looked a hell of a lot like this guy!

Apparently he bought it for farm work and has had it about 3 months.
He says he likes it as its better than a land rover ;)

Did I start an orange wheel trend? All my Suzuki's have had them, and that's going back 17 years now. Guess it's time to start a new fad :hahaha:

would hydraulic suspension not be good off road? that vitaras got tons of ground clearance.
