# I think
there may be people with other Sollihull type vehicles, but we'll try and ignore them.

# True.
The V8 drivers seem to take the piss a bit, for example, when faced with a tricky, rocky climb:

Suzuki owners: Second gear, low range, full throttle. CHARGE!

V8 people: First gear, low range, foot completely off throttle. Bimble up slowly, wave at people as you pass.

Bastards. And they sound nice too.

# I like going down hills...
steep hills....

low ratio...first....foot off throttle....2mph if that! The thing just hangs there!

Wish it had the V8 though!

# For a 1.3
Suzukis have amazing holdback.

I love my Suzuki. Just wish it had suspension.

Edit: You got an automatic or manual?

# Manual....
don't know if I want an auto, but might go that way if I get the 2.8 turbo D.

# I'm told that
the autos are bombproof. The bloke I bought the Zuki off has a 3.5 (baby) V8 Rangie with an auto box, and says that it's great off-road. No messing around with the clutch when you suddenly realise you're in too high t a gear for the hill, and all that.

# I'll look into that then!
Cheers!

Looks like it'll all start going through the big refit in Jan/Feb....I can't wait!

And with that I go to bed!

Night all!
