I'm very tempted! not so flush right now :(
There's a blue and silver 02 with the hard top conversion near me, looks real tidy. I'd been on jimnybits before but must have missed that, thanks for the link.

Been out today with my Jimny and dad's grand vitara, when i find my cable i'll find time to get pics up. Had a few strange looks with them both being the same red/silver combo.

Also, first time i took it to 50 mph and guess what? wobble. Not in a scary way, i sort of half expected it.

Actually as i write this i sent the pic to my facebook so can download from there.

I tried the Vitara, sat in it i didn't realise the engine was running , it was so quiet :unsure: dad said i could try it out, but wasn't that interested.. it felt too modern.
I like the Jimny a lot, it's so unrefined it's a lot like cars i've owned before. The car i owned that i had the most fun in was my 126, rwd 704cc two cylinder :evil:

I've not long turned 22, so people question me a lot on car choice.

To be honest, it's getting on a bit.. but only 35k on the clock. Thats why i wasn't surprised.. but on the isle of wight i won't be going 50mph much.

I get a lot of good comments on the red/silver combo. The only thing i plan to do at some point is to get some decent AT'S, i actually like the threespokes. Maybe get AT'S on a set of steels for winter/autumn.. it does look the dogs danglies with a new roof. I'll have to remember to get a pic..
