Saw this one ages ago. I dont get how you can 'sign it' online?, you could just sign it 10 times with different names.

I generally agree with what they want, and it is a nice concept, however I think we have either buckly's or no chance!
N.B.: DO NOT send us the new Jimny - we WON'T buy it! (Low torque engine, even less wheelwell room than an SJ, poorly articulating link suspension, plastic everywhere, low slung plastic front and rear fascias, a weak low range, non-removable doors, no soft top, etc.).
Wait till a proud Jimny owner sees this, their going to explode :finger: , I tend to agree with it though; I hate plastic, and think simple is far more effective.

Wow.........2700 signatures since I signed back in 2002

At this rate (around one and a half a day) we should have enough support by the time I am too old to drive.

Great idea, I do believe that a "true offroad vehicle" still has a market.

Thats one of the ones i was looking for josh, nice one :armsup:

have you done your build up yet?? did you 'play' with the build up? different wheels/tyres, lift, soft top?
shame they dont come any larger.. a 1:8 or 1:10 would be ideal... actually Perfect, but ah well, out comes the pencil and graph paper...

I know I wouldn't be able to afford a suzuki with all of that stuf done to it.

roll cage, harness, diff locks, fold down windscreen, removable doors, flat panels, external hinges.
mirrors on body to facilitate removeable doors.
switchable airbags.
stainless steel hinges and hardware


this thing would be the HSV GRANGE of suzuki and propably cost just as much. It also would just look like modded sierra.

enjoy
