Two-tone Auto

It all began 18 months ago when I started looking for a replacement for my 15 year old car.
My only criteria was that it had to be not be much bigger than a VW Polo.
After visiting every new car showroom in a 10 mile radius and trying all the cars I decided on a Jimny.
The decision to buy a new one was abandoned when Suzuki put the price up by £600 for the face lift model and I found it impossible to get the sort of discount I wanted, having decided not to buy one from an online site.
I tried the manual and found that the gear shift was not to my liking. Now if a sequential gear box was an option that would be another matter.
I then tried the auto, what a difference, was this the same car I was driving! However, there is the issue of steep hills.
I waited until I found an Oct 2012 SZ4 Auto with 1200 miles on the clock.
It does put a smile on my face and the auto is magic.
The insurance from Churchill online was £159 full comp with no excess.

Well that's you sorted now we need to see just what this 'Two Tone' looks like .............. :whistle:

ps Your insurance is a good price for the area .......

Hi Tadpole

Is that your black Jimny?
What's the tyre wheel combination?

Yes that's 'Black Beauty'
Standard wheels with Kumho 798 they seem to be doing me proud, fine in the snow last winter & around the fields I travel hth .......

Added some aluminium tyre caps recently. They were a £1 for four from Poundland, nicely made also come in red and gold. I added a little bit of silicone grease on the threads just in case there is any corrosion. A new tyre valve would be a tyre off job.

I have heard that a auto jimny let's its self down off road as it never seams to be happy it any gear its in constantly hunting up and down the box

Not been off road yet. I did assume that you selected the gear rather than putting it in auto (fourth). Any body been off road in an auto?
