Outer Limits 4x4 Board

YOU KNOW YOU OWN A REAL SUZUKI WHEN....

It's smaller than everything else on the trail

If you go to get the Sunday paper and come back on Monday without it

If you use a hose to clean the inside and the outside

If you own it outright

When the best route from A to B is through the mud, rockpile or over the mountain (or all of the above)

When a scratch or a dent is a beauty mark

You roll it over and don't get upset

Your mum and sister can't get in it without help

You judge every hill you see by how much fun it would be to climb

You search for trails in a helicopter

You puke when you see a Freelander

When you know what the wave is and you're not afraid to use it

You get custom pin-striping from trail brush

When a low-rider Suzuki pulls up next to you and you get out and bitch-slap the driver

When you take your friends wheeling and they say "What trail, i don't see a trail!"

When you've been forced to add SJ410, SJ413, sierra and Vitara to your spell-checker

Your friends won't ride with you 'cause they don't want to wind up in the desert in the middle of the night

When your boss's secretary calls to "recommend" that you wash your Suzuki

When you finally wash the mud off, everyone thinks you bought a new Suzuki

When you can see OVER a Discovery

You carry emergency supplies and clothing because you never know where you will end up

When your Bullbars battle rocks and win

When it rains and you don't care that your tops and doors are off

When you drive around to look at Christmas lights topless

When you change your plugs in the parking lot at work on a break

If your "Parts Dept." is on blocks behind your house

When you take your Mom wheeling and she has to help you flip the Suzuki back onto its wheels again

You use an ice-scraper on the INSIDE of the windshield

You get more heat from holes in the floorboards than through the heater vents

Passengers scream "DON'T ROLL IT!" when you take them wheeling

When you go to a "off road fun day" and spend the day winching Land Rovers, G wagons etc out of holes that you can drive through (even if the wife refuses to sit in the zuk while you do it)!

When the local car wash Bars you from washing it there again!

When the motor has hundreds of thousands of miles on it and still revs to the red line!

When freelander drivers avoid eye contact!

Small children point and shout muddy car!

When u cant tell the colour of the your zuki!

When its a dented, battered, rusty, and you love it

When your in Low Range a snail is faster

ha ha thats great

When for something different you wheel motorbike tracks for something new

You go to buy a part and discover that there is five different varieties for your model zuk

how about when you're the only 4wd that fits in the motorcycle sized parking bay =)

* When your mates buy a modded patrol for 10000 and a stock 2000 sierra will drive all over it!
* When u realise you can park it easy in the Sydney fish markets cos its compact, and if you cant, you can always jump a gutter into a tiny spot just for a suzuki
* When u have a rear locker and on the road it makes the whole car hop around corners!

when you realise that the CD player is allready at max and you still can't hear it.

hear what?

{""Your mum and sister can't get in it without help ""}
THATS ME
I carry a foot stool, in the back
for mum

when 15psi becomes your road tyre pressure just so your CD player will play CD's

when rear seats and swaybars are mythical creatures

when your doctor tells you you have bruised kidneys, and its not from drinking =)

when you smash your head on the roof tryin to get in

I can honestly say every one of those apply to me 230,000km and it'll still pull 7500rpm up the hill in third on the way to work every morning

when you start calling a 1.3 a big block
when your top speed is 130km/h
when airconditioning is your windows wound down
when someone says powersteering you say 'what the F@ck are you on about'

When you can run 5psi offroad without beadlocks.

When you roll it on your first wheeling trip in it.
Then pick it up and keep going.

When you look foward to summer so you can drive home from a hot day at work in an arvo storm with the roof off.

When you can't remember the last time you wound up the windows, and they're now stuck in the 'down' position.

="built4thrashing"]when 15psi becomes your road tyre pressure just so your CD player will play CD's

When you run 15psi on road, and cd's still dont work...

when water drips on your right foot around left hand corners after rain, and stops the driver side speaker working... so you dont even bother with the radio anymore...

Fark you must have the deluxe model, I don't think mine has ever seen more then 100 and that was down hill, holding my breath, with the wind behind me

you both have issues =) my 1.3 with a 1.5" pipe and 215/75s did 160 on a slight downhill with headwind... got a fine for 134 in 90 zone while slowing down =P

heres another:
you're offended when someone compliments you on your jeep.

It's not a farkin jeep

..... you can pack a hard top with more camping gear that the truck weighs
..... you can replace the whole drive train with out the need for a second set of hands (no heavy lifting)

Its funny - i've given up correcting people i get it that often... yet it still shits me to tears.... oh well, good on jeep for having a good marketing team i suppose =P

What about the "Suzuki Wave" Suzuki drivers shall always give each other a wave when passing. On or off road.

You know you own a Zook…

When you are told by people that it's time you grow up and by a real car (I'm almost 40yo).

When you have to oil the accelerator pedal cause it's getting a bit stiff to press down.

When you are with a group of guy's that are talking about their GTR's, Silvia's, Supra's etc and the first thought that comes to mind is not shame but these guys have small pencils

When during the winter you have to remove the floor bungs to let the water out

I got more but have to do some work now

Your torch D cell torch battery is bigger than your car battery
when the inside of the car has as much mud as the outside
when airodynamics are for rich people

you both have issues =) my 1.3 with a 1.5" pipe and 215/75s did 160 on a slight downhill with headwind...

your are either mad, insaine, stupid or you have b@lls the size of watermelons

I could ramp up on their bonnets

hahaha this is classic ! you know you own a zook when:

... you get out of the car, and it still leans towards the drivers side.

and

... when you get into the car after a big rain, and all the water on the soft top falls onto your right arm

... when you can stand in next to the motor, and still shut the bonnet.

... you can use a 10mm spanner for removing pretty much everything.

... people look at you funny for driving a 'mini truck' but that changes when you out perform their 'monster truck'.

when the car cost you 1/4 the price of there cars and goes more places

when you run 2psi in your boggers and they don't fall off the rims

when you spend more of parts to make it better then what the accual car cost
