Rake? I like both. But that would require it be on bags with 2ft of travel! What's the spoiler thing on the front of the bonnet on the yellow one?

on my 8v vitara tried it on smaller wider wheels and handled better but it was down on speed and revved out so went back to bigger wheels and ok over the years tried all sorts of wheels and best ive found all round are 7j alloys fitted as standard on some fatboys as had 10 inch and they tram lined then again its matter of taste what i got on now gives good compromise as they are 7j wide enough for me but due to offset and design increase track and put wheels right on the edge handles better and surprises a few ordinary tin tops on cornering but I'm just past 60 no boy or even grand dad racer

There was a bloke in Essex that had a very rapid slammed Vitara.
I saw it once when I was visiting a Supplier.

I saw a Vitara with a Vauxhall redtop at the Pod once, I think that was essex based, it was low and quick!

The yanks call them a Chevrolet Tracker, then they stick V8's in them.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

You can have a substantial amount of fun of road with an almost stock one on mud tyres, limited ground clearance is offset by the short wheelbase and light weight. I found mine to underpowered to have as an only car though, motorways were painful, and mine was the 16v version.

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

They were also branded the "Escudo"... AKA, the fastest car in Grand turismo...

Be different. Slam it over big mud tyres.
