I know the show duck dynasty, and it's a great show too!
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

So, I've got some Malatesta Kobra tyres on now and had a little go laning yesterday in my Vit as is.... and it was great! :D It already looks ten times better just with some decent tyres.

Haha! It's pretty unique that's for sure. Although, the mud is already starting to cover up the paint job :P

Just a quick update....
Got a nice new snorkel "fitted" from Bits4Vits, what a job that was! Had to make use of some plumbing elbows and flexi-hose, nice looking snorkel though if you have a right hand wing fitment Vit :) I've also added some new Suzuki stickers to the windscreen, sides and back, in bright pink just to add another colour into the mix! :thumbup:

The colour scheme is certainly unusual,its starting to look like a very capable motor,i really love the V6 engine in mine maily due too the torque went down to Devon yesterday around trip of 600 miles and it cruised at 70-75mph without any problems what so ever.

Look forward to further development especially on the colour department.

I do too RickUK, such a smooth easy engine with a bit of grunt. Fantastic that you did 600 miles in yours! Mine has been a bit of a general workhorse lately, towing fully loaded trailers to and from the tip, and it didn't miss a beat. They certainly make driving a joy.
