Hi.
After seriously considering selling my 92 vit for a 90 Nissan Terrano turbo diesel, I owe my mate for talking sense. Old diesels are ticking time bombs of massive expenses. $6000 just for a reco TD27 long motor. Injector pumps that cost what the whole car is worth to rebuild... I recently bought and fitted a low km's import G16B in my vitara for less than what a mechanic would charge to rebuild the cracked head on the old motor.
I think that says it all for how good we have it as Suzuki owners.
With only minor mods, we can go anywhere and further than any flat brimmer in a GQ with 16 lightforce spotlights, 35"s and a unit sticker can for 1/10th of the price.
Apologies for considering the dark side.

We all have those moments,
especially when our zooks are broken.

Haha yeah, I'll give him a few litres of my homemade bourbon.
I swear half the guys that drive those patrols with massive lift and tyres never use them off road. Jus for show.

pretty sure every zook owner cracks the shits and wants to sell it at some point when things go wrong. but things go wrong in all cars and a lot of other models cost a shitload to fix, whereas zooks can be fixed with a roll of duct tape, a rubber thong and 2 stubbies.

That is my main reason for ownership,
disability pension dollars don't stretch far,
purchase, modification and running costs are good,
plus I can pick up most zook parts,
I not tough enuff to lug heavy bits around the garage.
And of course off road ability is supreme.
My only negative is: my hands are too big to reach a lot of the Vits bolts

This is true. My gross wage is barely enough to buy breakfast
So you wouldn't much rather a scientist tell me what else causes cancer and what I can't do.

I know the Scientist that will cure Cancer (true) and the government, so therefore us gives them 2 parts of stuff all, its all about selling their brains to companies for a profit on the side so they can continue to do research
