Suzuki Club UK

just drove me zuke to work today as i got a couple days off this week and had to leave the van at work.

what is it about driving a zuke that makes it so much fun??

is it the noise? the slow speed? the thought of just smashing through the nearest hedge and into a field without problems? i dunno but whatever it is I LOVE IT!!

So what that in mind whats everyones fave part of owning a suzuki? be it an sj, lj or vit!

I drove mind to work a couple of times and it will hold 62mph all the way but was gutted when I went though one of them speed checkers and it said 60mph lol

i managed to get mine to 80 once!!.... granted it was down hill and i was fully loaded with camping gear and the wind was behind me haha.

but they really are so much fun!

Omg don't think I could be that brave lmao

there was almost moist chocolate cake in my boxers

well it is funnnnn to drive it but i dont know what makes it funnnn as ive only drove my zook in a field and about 10 meters on the road with out any insurance or tax or mot

I managed 87 when my SJ had the 1.3L in it also loaded with camping and going down hill on the M6, it did feel like it was going to blow up though and about 40 miles later the rear prop did snap , luckily I had left two 14mm spanners in the car so manged to get it off and was able to drive the rest in 4wd, it was a great experience though and so much fun

What makes an SJ more fun than anything else (that I've driven).....

The lack of driver aids and other junk (ABS, PAS, A/C, TC, DSC, SLS, Airbags), the high riding position, fantastic visibility, retro thin large diameter ridged steering wheel, the shake, rattle and roll cornering.

They feel so much quicker than they are. There are two hills near where the road does an S-bend whilst still on a 1 in 10, if not steeper, incline and when I'm going up or down them in my SJ I feel like a Rally driver. Downhill an SJ's lack of power doesn't matter and you can concentrate on braking and taking the fastest line. Uphill you can forget about braking and all you need to worry about is doing as little steering as possible to avoid slowing down any more than the little engine would anyway.

As I said once before, I feel sorry for the folks who can't smile every day.
Driving my SJ to and from Uni every day is something I look forward to, just because I can sling her round a few well practised bends and leave and car following me in a state of amazement about 300 yards further away they they were before the bends.

Strictly speaking it's probably a bit reckless but it's one of the few things I can enjoy in life.

The only thing that beats it is having the road to myself in the dead of night. Cruising along at 40 miles an hour with not another soul on the road is bliss. No reason to hurry, you've not got to be anywhere for anything, you're not got some boy racer or business exec riding your tail. Just you and the nearest to a living thing a machines come since the steam engine eating up road without a care in the world.

Nice

Ed very good to some it up! i love how you had spoke about the handling "shake, rattle and roll" brilliant way to describe it
