Hi all.
Collected this discreet new Jimny yesterday

Very discreet and understated !
Is it a special kind of camouflage paint?
Called kinetic yellow apparently
Will take some getting used to I’m sure
Fancied one of these but so hard to get, five door is rumoured.Quote:

Yes the dealership I got this off has me down first for one of the 5 door if it comes to the ukQuote:

I need one of these for the generally unpaved roads and mountains of Surrey.
No, you needs one of these! [emoji106]Quote:

Know nothing about its capabilities but I like the mini G Wagen look and the colour works for me. Let us know how you get on with it.
One of the pickers-up on our shoot has one of these.
Decent tyres on and weighs the same as a fag packet,
It Really is a “go anywhere” little truck.
No you want one of theseQuote:

I need a car for FieldSports where I am in forests on tracks and in fields. Not going to do any 4x4 rock climbing, and the rest of the participants have Defender 90s and 110s.
Is it made of wet paper?
They are great and in the right hands will go toe to toe with Defenders on most terrains.
See my earlier post.Quote:

The Suzukis and Lada Nivas disappeared down the hole and immediately popped out with a cheeky zest, not one had a problem.Quote:

The Suzuki lifted right up, it felt like floating on air. I dropped speed, closed my eyes. gripped the steering wheel, prayed for my sins as I pictured being swept off the road into a crocodile infested river. I swear it felt like the spinning wheels propelled me through the water. I made it to the other side, shat myself and promised to be a good boy for the rest of my life. Never been so alone and frightened.
They are light.
Used to get a lift sometimes between work and home in Jeddah across the city. Bloody misery. Hot, cramped, noisy, uncomfortable, although my mate's constant ranting, hand constantly on the horn and very heavy breaking didn't help. Needed a few shots of Sidique and 7-Up when I got in to recover.
Not if the T6 doesn't sell, apparently [emoji45] they do look cute/cool/fun and it looks great in that colour but I'd have to need the 4wd capability to choose one over something like a Tiguan/Karoq.Quote:

I agree. Pottering around they are great. Not so good on long journeys / motorwayQuote:

I seriously thought these would be about £15k new.
The world has gone stark raving mad.
