First off... Top Gear USA Series 5 Episode 1. Vitara on the Rubicon. They really map it out nicely.

Total Offroad seem to have a couple of decent looking Suzuki articles in March and April 2016
Anyone got the low down on the vehicles ?

Wheeler dealers did a good episode on a Suzuki sj, they didn't make any money out of it, but it was fun to watch!

Some people may disagree with that. Never even got an MOT on it.

Yeah, that one on Wheeler Dealers, was just a mess from the start, you could see when he was putting in the "Roll Cage" all the rot around the areas, could have taken him a hour to patch up and would have passed the MOT.

From what I have heard, it did make it back on the road, and is currently parked up at some Offroad Site in the UK!

The bloke who bought it used it for a few months then sold it on to someone who made it road legal then eventually it had a 1.5 Isuzu /Vauxhall diesel engine put in it as far as I know. It was on ebay about 2 years ago

Have you seen the more recent series, seams to have really kicked it up a gear, and it's actually quite convincing now!

That ed china is a genuinely nice guy, hes a really good mechanic too but that show just makes him look clueless because there trying to advertise the fact you can fix your own car up yourself as a diy mechanic.

He does all the top gear cars for them, the jag with the metro on its roof etc
