It wasn't meant as a sleight on the Jimny, it was more on its driver, who would clearly never be driving it off road, but of course had the headlights and mahoosive fogs on as well.
The "must buy jeep, safer and higher road view, but I can't drive a big/proper one so it must be small etc..." mentality.
Or because that person liked that type of car and is free to drive what they wish. Obviously cannot excuse poor driving though.0 -

I enjoyed driving one round greek island on holiday. Reminded me of my old Nissan Sunny in a way - boggo as f***, but everything worked, it was light for the power it had etc. RWD in "standard" mode too. Of course, I was driving it like I stole rented it...Ardennes1944 wrote: »noone could surely 'like' a suzuki jimny

Ok so I have stumbled upon another set. I'm trying to stick to a budget here if possible and I've searched endlessly for OEM wheels (there are none anywhere which is not counting less that 15" wheels). Here's a possible set I can get for a little over €100 with 2 new 205/45/17 tyres and in great condition.advertsfox wrote: »Opinions on possible wheels people?

Ya, they look good IMHO and sure you could always save up for a fancier set later on. 0 -

Anyone know any good resources bar autotrader UK, pistonheads and the alpinaregister? I can only find two for sale in the UK.
Well, you basically mentioned all the places I know of already so.. :pac:
I initially set out to buy an Alpina B12 Coupe when I was planning on getting the E31, had to settle for the BMW inhouse effort instead once I found out how rare (and sometimes hyper expensive) they are.0 -

Sytner of Nottingham is definitely worth a shout. I'd live in their showroom

No, they don't suit imo
They belong on a half modified 99 4 door astra, prefably green and with "RACING TUNING" on the back with a fart cannon or a half shagged white 01 Focus 1.4 3 door with a bad replica ST bodykit (apologies for any Astra or Focus owners but just making a point!). They spell cheap and nasty to me.... Sorry
See what you think of either this big image or

I love both of those sets, esp. the BBS style ones but don't have near enough the budgie. Guess it's time to sit on me notes for a while and keep an eye out 0 -

How do you mean inhouse, did you go through the dealer network? I'd like the peace of mind buying through a dealer, but its sure to be mental money for an Alpina through a dealer. I'll have to enquire about VRT on a B7 compared to a regular 7.Sytner of Nottingham is definitely worth a shout. I'd live in their showroom
