Post by: Mart on August 14, 2006, 21:08:02

i pass this every week on my way to and from kickboxing but just thought it was a suzuki lj but its a daihatsu dont know what model but its parked in a secure industrial park guessing they use it to clear the snow during the colder months. Its on an x plate white walls look wierd on a truck but kinda funky lol

It's a F20

I remember a dealer demo at Nostell Priory (circa 1977/78 ) & having a ride in one.

It's still the harshest riding vehicle I've ever been in

its not far from where you recovered me from.

the white walls look like standard road tyres so dont know how well it will plough in deep snow.

The first time I saw one of them was on a proper Rally. It was running at the back in a Class of it's own.

My mate had one and it was great, must have been 10 years ago. Cost him £50 even had an MOT, well a valid certificate at least :D

It got hit by a reversing crane and the top just bent right over, he left it on the drive for about 3 months but it never recovered  :cry:
