How did you get started in Suzuki's & how many have you owned?
I always liked the look of sierras but the deal breaker was back in 97 when i seen Paul Pisani's sierra featured in a magazine and that was it i knew i had to build my own
I've owned seven so far

I've had the short one for just under a year now

Some more lighting and draws for the back is next to be done

Dobinson springs & struts
What has been your worse modification?
Kumho KL7's
If you could have anybody else's zook, who's would it be and why?
Atari4x4's blagon, just cause it's clean & tidy & it looks to go some pretty decent places
What has been your best 4wding trip?
A few years ago a trip down to Dwellyingup through to Brunwick in the wet
If you could go to any place in the world to wheel, where would that be?
Somewhere where there is snow but that's not stupid cold, Tasmania will do
Who are you closest to in the auszooker's community?
To hard to answer
i've meet some really good people in here over the years so ill leave it at that 
Tell us what the wheeling is like in your area?
Dry and dusty atm
you've all seen the pics of the power lines but this year i'm keen to have a look at some more tracks down south waysWhat other toys/hobbies do you put a lot of time into?
I've got a LTR450 quad bike that i've been thrashing around on for the past few months other then that beer
& boobs 
What is it about the auszookers that brings you back for more?
The people
nearly every day that i come on here there is something that makes me piss myself laughingWhat about the auszookers forum would you like to see changed?
No much at all really maybe get rid of the wingers
So if there is just one bit of advice you would give someone just starting out with Suzuki 4wds what would it be and why?
Have fun in it
enjoy learning what you and your new cool car can do before you start throwing money at itIf after a while you want to go down some harder tracks then change the things that will help you get down the harder tracks
When i had 31's on bullant she was a fun car to drive and went every where i wanted to go
but then i thought bigger was better and wanted 33's and more lift 
it became a pig to drive and i also stopped driving the tracks i liked cause it felt like it was gunna tip over all the time The last five zooks that i've built
