I take it that is from a website some where??
I would only take issue with the "motorway incline" bit.
As the weights are similar to mine I found the 1300 engine didn't really have enough power to "be the first to the top"
You'll never be stuck but I found the long motorway inclines were the achilles heel of the Jimny but still no real problem as most people only see you as a caravan and get past ASAP so speed isn't an issue on motorways /dual carriageways as they can get past easily.
Otherwise it pulls well.
Are you coming down the M1/A14/M11 or A1/M11?? or M1/M25?

Hi
I've not got that far ahead as yet, I've been too concerned with which van to buy
But I better get a move on and choose the site and work out which way to go :-o
I was thinking m1 but not sure which way to go from there. I'll have a look at multi map etc. I'm not the best at directions lol

I can't seem to get onto the mirror listing.
Do you think that these would do the job?
SUZUKI JIMNY (98+) MAYPOLE SINGLE TOWING MIRROR CONVEX GLASS BNIP
